Create a campaign in Adapty Mail
Adapty Mail generates a full email sequence — copy, design, hero images, subject lines, and delays — from your app’s store metadata. No copywriting or design work required. The campaign saves as a draft; it starts delivering only once you attach it to a flow.
Before you start
- Saved web paywall: Every campaign must link to a web paywall. The backend rejects campaigns without one. See Create a web paywall if you don’t have one yet.
- Brand profile: The AI uses your brand profile to shape copy, tone, and visuals across the sequence. Set it up in Adapty Mail under Brand if you haven’t yet — see Brand.
1. Generate the sequence
-
In Adapty Mail, go to Campaigns and click Create.
-
Set the campaign name.
-
In the Web paywall dropdown, select the web paywall you want emails to link to.
-
Click Generate emails.
-
Fill out the generation dialog:
- Tone: Pick from the list. Options are generated specifically for your app’s category — a different app sees different options. Your choice shapes subject lines, headlines, body copy, and CTAs across every email; it doesn’t affect layout or hero images.
- Language: Pick the email language.
- Custom prompt (optional): Free-form instructions up to 2,000 characters. Use it to call out a promo, an occasion, audience nuance, must-include points, or extra tone direction the presets can’t capture.
- Number of emails: By default, the AI picks the count based on best practices and your app context. To set it yourself, click Set number manually and pick a value (1–15, default 4).
Once you click Generate, the tone is locked to that campaign. To try another tone, create a new campaign — each generation can produce a different mix of options.
-
Click Generate. Generation usually takes a few minutes. The backend times out after 5 minutes if it can’t complete — retry if that happens.
2. Review and refine
After generation, the full sequence is shown in a preview. For every email you can see:
- Subject line variants: Three subject options per email. Adapty Mail tests them on delivery and continues sending the highest-performing one — see A/B testing.
- Headline, body copy, and CTA: The main content block.
- Hero image: A generated image matched to the email’s content and your brand.
- Layout and delay: How the email is arranged, and how long after the previous email it sends.
The preview header has a Theme toggle (Auto, Light, Dark) — icon buttons in the top-right of the preview pane. It controls only how the preview renders; the generated content is identical across modes. Use it to check how each email looks in each color scheme without regenerating.
You can:
- Regenerate individual emails: The AI rewrites the copy and a new hero image for a single email. Position, timing, and the overall design system (colors, typography, dark mode) stay the same — only the targeted email changes.
- Edit the HTML directly: An HTML code editor opens for fine-grained control over anything the AI didn’t get right.
Emails adapt automatically. Multi-column designs collapse to a single column on screens under 620 px, and every layout is tested across Gmail (web and mobile), Apple Mail (macOS and iOS), Outlook desktop, Yahoo Mail, and Samsung Mail — in both light and dark mode.
3. Save as a draft
Click Create to save the campaign as a draft. No emails are sent yet — the campaign editor has no separate “publish” or “launch” action.
A campaign’s status reflects whether it’s attached to a live flow:
- draft: Not attached to any flow.
- live: Attached to a flow and currently routing users.
- inactive: Was attached, but the flow’s A/B test wrapper has finished.
- archived: Deleted from the dashboard.
