Email Campaigns in Mail Merge

A "campaign" in Mail Merge refers to a group of email messages that have tracking enabled and are sent via the Google Sheet.

When you send any email through mail merge with tracking enabled, you need to associate a name with that campaign. The campaign name should be short, meaningful and easily identifiable as it will be used for email reporting.

For instance, if you are informing customers of a new offer in your store though Mail Merge, you can set the campaign name as “Holiday Sale December 2020” which gives a hint of the type of campaign and also when it was created.

The Campaign name is for internal use only and will not be visible to the email recipients.
