I’m not sure that my AMA campaign got sent today. Any ideas?
There are many ways to increase “sendability.” First and foremost, make sure that every contact you are sending to has a valid email address; if AMA is forced to skip too many contacts the send will stop. Another tip is to include the recipient’s name in the body of your email template; that helps your email get past spam filters.
Because Act Marketing Automation is sending out your email using their servers it’s important that you create a “DKIM” record that associates your domain with the Swiftpage servers. This article shows you how to create the DKIM record: https://help.act.com/s/article/How-do-I-set-up-DKIM-in-Act-Marketing-Automation-prem?language=en_US
Finally, Act Marketing Automation’s Dashboard is designed to show you how many emails were sent, delivered and the open rate. However, the dashboard results can take up to 24 hours to appear and will keep updating for at least a week so keep checking back to the AMA Dashboard.
