Campaigns (also called Schedules) are how you send messages to your contacts. Configure what to send, who to send to, and when to send—then let Trackly handle the rest.

What is a Campaign?

A Campaign combines:
  • Creative(s): The message content
  • Audience(s): Who receives it
  • Schedule: When it sends
  • Sending List: Which phone number to send from

Campaign Types

Trackly supports two send modes:

Blast Mode

You choose the message variants and their distribution. Full editorial control.

Automated Mode

AI selects the best creative for each contact based on predicted performance.

Blast Mode

In blast mode, you create variants—different message versions with optional A/B splits:
VariantMessageOfferPercentage
A”Flash sale! 50% off…“offer_12350%
B”Last chance! Half off…“offer_12350%
Each contact is randomly assigned to a variant. Track which performs better.

Automated Mode

In automated mode, Trackly’s ML models select the best creative for each contact:
  1. Models analyze contact history (clicks, revenue, engagement)
  2. For each contact, predict which creative will perform best
  3. Send the predicted winner
  4. Learn from results for future improvement
Configure what percentage uses automation vs. manual selection.

Schedule Types

Send once at a specific date/time:
  • “Send on Friday at 2 PM”
  • “Send now”

Key Features

Frequency Capping

Prevent over-messaging with “skip if sent within X hours”:
Skip contacts who received a message within: 24 hours
Contacts who got a message yesterday won’t receive today’s send.

Local Timezone Sending

Send at the optimal local time for each contact:
Send time: 10:00 AM (contact's timezone)
A contact in NYC gets it at 10 AM ET. One in LA gets it at 10 AM PT.

A/B Testing

Split your audience across variants to test:
  • Different message copy
  • Different offers
  • Different CTAs
Track clicks and revenue by variant to find winners.

MMS Support

Blast mode supports MMS images:
  • Upload an image per variant
  • Image displays above the text
  • Increases message cost (check your plan)

Best Practices

Start with a small audience to verify content and tracking work correctly.
Contacts receiving too many messages will opt out. Set a reasonable cap.
10 AM - 2 PM local time typically performs best. Avoid early morning/late night.
Check the dashboard after sending. High failure rates indicate list quality issues.
