Introducing Broadcasts

Broadcasts are used for one-off emails to a pre-defined audience or segments.

For example, Broadcasts are the most suitable if you are broadcasting a platform or app update or announcing an event or pre-release.

In this article, we'll take the first step in exploring the Broadcasts section of Campaign Refinery. We will introduce the Broadcasts Dashboard and the functions to set up a Broadcast.

Let's get started!
