The following guide is available inside the platform by default. It was written for administrators as starting point in providing a built-in help guide for their customers. The information in this guide is very general and should be updated to fit your way of working. As the built-in help guide will be modified, we added the original text and images here so you can always have a look.

How to create a new Campaign
To create a new campaign, just click on the Add your first campaign button.
If this is not your first campaign, click on the Create a new campaign tab.
A new page will open, where you have to add the Campaign title and then select the questionnaire(s) you want to include from the dropdown menu.
You can open the dropdown menu by clicking anywhere on the field below Select the questionnaires you want to send. You can pick one from the list, or start typing to search for a specific questionnaire.
You can select and add more than one questionnaire in the same campaign.
Once you add the title and select the questionnaire(s) you want to use, click on the Next step button.
How to add Recipients
In the second step, you can add your recipients. 
You can add recipients as lists or individuals. The lists tab is opened by default as it is recommended to use lists so you can easily see who you contacted or use the same list again at a later time. You can select existing lists with the Select button on the right, or you can create a new one by clicking on the Create new list button.
At the right of your screen a new window will open, where you can create your new list and add contacts.
First you would have to add the List name and then click on 1 of the following 3 options. Add contacts manually, Upload a CSV file or I will add contacts later if you want to skip this step for now.
If you select to Add your contacts manually, you will have to fill in the contact information. The contact’s First name, Last name and Email address are mandatory. When you’ve filled in the fields, click on the Add contact button at the bottom of the screen.
You can choose to create an account for this contact so they can log in to their own self service portal where they can see their invitations, previous responses and download their reports. An activation email will be sent to this email address, so your contact can activate their account.
You can continue adding contacts by clicking Add new contact or select contacts using the checkboxes on the right and remove them from the list by clicking Remove selected x contacts from list. Note that this will remove the contact from the list, but not delete them.
When you’re done, click Back or the X at the top to go to the list selection screen. The newly created list will automatically be added to your campaign. You can select other lists to include or exclude using the checkboxes. Clicking the X at the top or Cancel will ignore any other changes you made. Clicking Add lists to recipients will update the linked lists.
To upload multiple contacts simultaneously, select Upload a csv file.
It is recommended that you click on the Download example, to download a CSV file with the correct format.
It is important to keep the first row as it is, don’t modify the order of the columns, otherwise the import will not be successful.
When you add all your contacts in the CSV file, save it and upload it or drag and drop it in the CSV document area. Then click Upload contacts to confirm.
When your file is uploaded you will have a message which informs you that you will be notified when your contacts are uploaded. Depending on the amount of contacts this could take a few seconds to a few minutes.
When the CSV file is uploaded, you’ll be brought to a screen where you can select which lists to include in your campaign. Select the lists you want to send the invitation to by ticking the box, and then click the Add lists to recipients button.
This is how it looks like when the lists are added to your campaign.
Note that if you add a contact in two different lists and you select both lists, only one invitation will be sent to this contact. So all duplicates will be removed from your total invitation count.
The same screens are available for adding contacts individually.
Below your recipients, you can configure how the email will be sent. You can fill in a Sender name, which is the name that your recipients will see when they see the mail in their inbox. The Reply to email address is used automatically when the recipient clicks Reply in the email. Note that using a no-reply email address, or one without a working mailbox attached, will severely increase the chance of your emails being marked as spam.
This is what your recipients will see.
By default the emails are sent from the anonymous [email protected] address. As responses to this address are not monitored, it is required to use a valid Reply to email address.
It is possible to send an email from your own domain, but to do this, the domain needs to be verified first. This requires some technical knowledge but takes only a few minutes. Create a new DNS record (TXT) on the top level of your domain containing the value below.
pp-verification=xxxxxxxx-xxxx-xxxx-xxxx-xxxxxxxxxxxx
Note that a domain needs to be verified only once.
In case your domain was verified, you can turn on the Do you want to send the email from your own domain? setting and fill in the email address below.
How to create your Content
The next step is to create the content of your email.
You can fill in an email subject and body of your choice. In the email body you can add variables by clicking on the {x} button and then selecting a variable from the list. Variables start with *| and end with |*. They are automatically replaced with actual data when the email is sent. This way you can personalize the email for your recipient. It’s important to add the link to the questionnaire as a variable.
If you have selected more than one questionnaire for your campaign, your variables will be automatically adjusted and you will have different variables for each questionnaire.
When added to the email body, they will contain a unique code to make sure the links are not switched.
Do not manually change the variables, as typo’s will make them unrecognizable by the platform and thus not work.
After composing your email, you can test it by clicking on the Send a test email to my email address button. When you are satisfied with your email, you can click Next Step.
How to schedule your campaign
You can schedule your campaign to be Sent as soon as possible or you can Schedule later and pick a date in the Scheduled date field. Just click the field to expand the calendar, and select the date you want. Then click on the time field to select a time from the dropdown.
Campaigns can be scheduled every hour and, depending on the amount of emails that were scheduled at that time, should arrive within a few minutes.
Then add the End date and time of your campaign in the same manner.
Note that at the end of your campaign, the links in the email will be disabled and unused invitations will be credited to your account.
When you’re ready, click Schedule. You have also the options to Save as draft to revise your work later or Previous to go back to the previous step.
Reminders

Add a Subject line and the Email content just like you did for the original email. When you’re ready, click Save as draft, Save and schedule or Remove the reminder.
When you click Save and schedule, a message will be displayed that will inform you that your reminder was scheduled. You can add up to 3 reminders at the bottom of the page.
When you’re done setting up reminders, scroll back up. You’ll see at the top right of your reminder that it’s now Scheduled.
When you’re done click Done to go back to the home screen.
The status of the campaigns and reminders can be one of the following:
It is possible to revert a Scheduled campaign to a draft to edit it, by clicking on the Revert to draft button when viewing a campaign.
