1. Before You Send
Only send your communication after you have tested the email! Learn more here.
2. Begin
To begin your communication simply Open Outlook and Click New Email.
3. Select ContactMonkey
Click the ContactMonkey Icon this will drop down the sending sidebar
4. Sender
Decide on the sender of your communication. Sending from a shared mailbox?
5. Recipients
Decide on whether you are sending to a CSV file or Distribution List. Sending to a distribution list or CSV file? The To field will act as a BCC so all recipients go into the To field and not in CC or BCC
6. Subject Line
The subject line is critical for your communication as this is how we categorize your campaign analytics after you send.
7. Tracking Preferences

Sending overall? Ensure count is turned on if you are sending to under 5000 recipients unless you have set up backend counting with your ContactMonkey Account Manager.
8. Email Import
Select your email from sidebar and click insert.
Can't see your email in the sending sidebar?
If it wasn't created by you, select the Search options to find the correct email. If you still can't find it, it may be a template instead of an email. Learn about the difference here.
After your email is inserted do not be alerted if it doesn't appear exactly how it did in ContactMonkey Template Builder. This is exactly how Outlook breaks up the coding of the template. This is one of the main reasons we send with ContactMonkey.
