Before you start

Data, sources, and access to prepare

  • A complete campaign design
  • A consent-reviewed unique audience of 1 to 500
  • Mail settings ready and enough displayed allowance

Confirm everything is ready to send

Confirm everything is ready to send
GateWhat must be true
Paid sending access and readinessThe account has paid sending access and Mail readiness permits a new hosted send.
Subject and contentSubject is present and no more than 300 characters; links, images, source facts, and responsive preview were reviewed.
AudienceAt least one and no more than 500 strict-valid unique addresses remain after suppressions are removed.
Mail accessAccess is approved, current terms are accepted, and the company is not suspended.
Compliance addressStreet, city, state, and ZIP/postal code are complete.
Platform and senderCREBuilder Mail is available and your shared or verified sender is ready.
AllowanceDisplayed daily, monthly, and any ramp-adjusted capacity covers the effective audience.
ReviewThe audience and account review policy is accepted, including any hold before sending.

CREBuilder checks again when you send

At the moment you select Send, CREBuilder re-checks recipients, suppressions, Mail access, agreement, address, allowance, sender, and review policy, so a last-minute change cannot slip through.

Understand review and allowance behavior

New approved CRM sender

Review behavior
The first clean CRM campaigns normally go to human review; the screen shows how many remain.
Allowance behavior
Uses current displayed account limits.

Uploaded-classified audience

Review behavior
Every campaign is held for human review.
Allowance behavior
Uses half the displayed allowance.

Always-review account mode

Review behavior
Every campaign is held regardless of audience source.
Allowance behavior
Uses displayed account and ramp limits.

Verified new domain

Review behavior
Review policy still applies.
Allowance behavior
Daily capacity can start below the nominal cap and increase over the first weeks.

Platform capacity paused

Review behavior
Campaigns cannot send until the pause ends.
Allowance behavior
Wait for the displayed recovery rather than retrying around the pause.

What the screen should tell you

  • Daily and monthly caps and remaining capacity
  • Any lower ramp ceiling
  • How many upcoming clean campaigns remain in review
  • Whether the audience is treated as Uploaded
  • Whether Mail is suspended, platform-paused, or unavailable
  • Whether a held campaign is waiting for a human decision

Go by the limits on screen

Account overrides, warm-up, recipient provenance, and current platform capacity can change the usable amount. Do not rely on a hard-coded allowance from an older guide.

Submit once and interpret the immediate result

  1. 1

    Run the final content preview

    Composer > Desktop, Mobile, and full preview

    Read subject, message, every property, image, metric, link, broker identity, signature expectation, and footer context.

    Expected result: The final rendered message is accurate at desktop and mobile widths.

    If this step does not work

    Correct the draft and wait for autosave before continuing.

    Email Blast composer at the preview, test, allowance, and sending preflight stage.
    Inspect the full preview, then review the displayed recipient count, allowance, and sending readiness. The server performs its final checks when you submit.
  2. 2

    Run the final audience review

    Composer > Recipients summary

    Confirm source classification, unique count, invalid count, suppression expectations, consent, review path, and allowance impact.

    Expected result: The audience is permitted, strict-valid, no more than 500, and understood.

    If this step does not work

    Remove uncertain or invalid recipients. Re-import any file that disappeared after reload.

  3. 3

    Review Mail state

    Composer > Send with CREBuilder Mail

    Confirm approval, current agreement, complete address, effective sender, no suspension or platform pause, and enough displayed allowance.

    Expected result: The Send action reflects a current ready state.

    If this step does not work

    If capability is unknown, retry status. Keep the draft and do not submit until the check succeeds.

  4. 4

    Submit exactly once

    Composer > Send

    Select Send one time.

    Expected result: The Send button locks while the campaign submits, so an extra click cannot send a second copy.

    If this step does not work

    Keep the composer open until the result appears. If your browser blocks site storage, the send stops before anything goes out; allow storage and retry only when the app says nothing was sent.

  5. 5

    Read the returned outcome

    Composer result or Email Blasts hub

    Treat Sent, In review, Rejected, Failed, Sending, or Outcome unconfirmed according to the status guidance.

    Expected result: The status tells you the next step.

    If this step does not work

    Held is not sent. Sending or Outcome unconfirmed may already have started sending, so do not create a duplicate send.

One send, one result

Extra clicks and retries resolve to the same send instead of creating a duplicate.

Know what CREBuilder appends and what Sent means

Know what CREBuilder appends and what Sent means
BehaviorMeaning
Separate messagesCREBuilder submits a separate hosted message to each recipient, so no one sees the rest of the list. Suppression and later provider outcomes can reduce what is accepted or delivered.
Compliance footerCREBuilder appends the complete company physical address and a personalized unsubscribe link at send time.
SignatureAn enabled per-user sanitized signature is appended by hosted composition.
CSS inliningStyles are prepared for email-client compatibility at the send boundary.
Sent statusThe provider accepted or CREBuilder recorded the send attempts. It does not guarantee inbox placement or reading.
AnalyticsNo open or click analytics are exposed. Property metrics in the composer are listing facts, not engagement metrics.
SchedulingThere is no in-app hosted campaign scheduling.
The campaign is held for review

Likely cause: The account is in its clean-send runway, the audience is Uploaded, or the account uses always-review mode.

  1. Return to the hub.
  2. Wait for approval or rejection notification.
  3. Do not submit another copy.
  4. Review usually completes within the time described by the current UI.
Preflight removed some recipients

Likely cause: The final suppression check found unsubscribes, hard bounces, or complaints.

  1. Accept the reduced final audience.
  2. Do not re-add protected addresses.
  3. If none remain, stop and rebuild only from permitted contacts.
The immediate outcome is unconfirmed

Likely cause: CREBuilder could not yet confirm whether the messages went out.

  1. Open Recent blasts and retain the operation context.
  2. Do not resend.
  3. Wait for reconciliation or contact support with subject, time, sender, and status.

Final verification

  • Composer > Recipients summary: The audience is permitted, strict-valid, no more than 500, and understood.
  • Composer > Send with CREBuilder Mail: The Send action reflects a current ready state.
  • Composer > Send: The Send button locks while the campaign submits, so an extra click cannot send a second copy.
  • Composer result or Email Blasts hub: The status tells you the next step.
  • No blocking warning, failed status, or unresolved validation message remains in the completed workflow.
