Campaigns
Write the email, choose who gets it, send.
One email to one audience. Compose, test, and send it, all on a single screen. No funnels, no approval maze.
A composer that gets out of the way
A plain editor with clean, inbox-ready formatting, so what you write is exactly what lands. No templates to wrangle.
Merge tags that personalize
Drop in {{first_name}}, {{last_name}}, or {{email}}. The unsubscribe footer and your mailing address are added for you.
Send yourself a test first
See the real thing in your own inbox before a single subscriber gets it.
Live delivery stats
Sent, delivered, bounced, complained, and unsubscribed update in real time, down to each recipient.
What sending actually looks like
A campaign in day3 is one email to one audience. There is no campaign type to pick, no funnel to attach it to, and no approval chain between the draft and the send. You write it, choose who gets it, and either send it now or schedule it for later.
Delivery goes out in batches rather than in one burst, which is what keeps a large send from tripping rate limits at the receiving end. If day3's own provider rate-limits mid-send, the send pauses and resumes on its own instead of failing the campaign. If a delivery job retries after a crash, nobody gets a second copy: the send is idempotent per recipient, so a retry picks up where it stopped rather than starting again.
Every send is also capped by your plan's monthly allowance, checked before the batch starts rather than discovered halfway through. A campaign that would cross the cap is refused whole. That is deliberate: a partially delivered announcement is worse than one you send tomorrow on a bigger plan.
While it runs, the campaign page fills in: sent, delivered, opened, clicked, bounced, complained, unsubscribed, down to individual recipients. You can close the tab. Nothing about a send needs watching.
Questions
- What is a campaign in day3?
- A single email to one audience: a product update, changelog, or announcement. Write it, test it, send it, and watch live delivery stats.
- Can I personalize emails?
- Yes. Use merge tags like {{first_name}} and {{email}} in the subject or body, and day3 fills them in per recipient.
- Does sending a campaign cost more for a bigger list?
- No. A campaign to 1,000 subscribers uses 1,000 of your monthly emails. The subscribers themselves are always free and unlimited.
- Can I schedule a campaign?
- Yes. Pick a time instead of sending immediately, and the campaign goes out then. Scheduling counts against the same monthly allowance at the point it sends, not when you schedule it.
- What happens if a send fails halfway through?
- It resumes rather than restarting. Delivery is idempotent per recipient, so a retried job never double-sends, and a provider rate limit pauses the send and picks it back up on its own.
- What if a campaign would exceed my monthly limit?
- It's refused before the first batch goes out, not halfway through. A partially delivered announcement is worse than sending it tomorrow on a plan with room, so day3 blocks the whole send rather than truncating it.
