# Email Campaigns

## Types of Email Campaigns

There are three different types of email campaigns:

{% tabs %}
{% tab title="Theme/ Regular" %}
This is the most common type of campaign. Design and customize your content, and choose whether to send it immediately or schedule your campaign for later.
{% endtab %}

{% tab title="Text" %}
The simplest form of mass email you can send. These campaigns contain only text and have no formatting options.
{% endtab %}

{% tab title="Automated" %}
Automated emails are sent when triggered by a specific date, event, or contact activity. You can create a custom automation from scratch, or use one of our many pre-built automation campaigns. You learn more about this in the Journey Builder section.
{% endtab %}
{% endtabs %}

## Email Templates

Templates serve as the starting point for any email campaign. The template you use determines the layout of your images and text.

We have a lot of predesigned templates for you to choose from, so if you aren’t good with coding, you’ll still be able to create and send great-looking email campaigns.

Drag-and-drop templates make the process even easier. You can learn more about email templates in the respective section.

*Campaign Reports*

After you send or publish a campaign, you can monitor its performance in your campaign report.\
These reports include important metrics such as email opens, reach, clicks, engagement rate, and a lot more.

## Email Campaign Dashboard

| Recurring       | Campaigns that are scheduled to run on multiple days and have already run once.                                                                                     |
