Lesson 6.1 — Creating a Campaign in FoxReach

Step-by-Step Campaign Setup

  1. Go to Campaigns > Create Campaign

  2. Name your campaign with a descriptive, searchable name:

    • Good: "Series A SaaS CTOs — Jan 2026 — V1"
    • Bad: "Campaign 1"
  3. Configure sending schedule:

    • Sending days — Tuesday through Thursday perform best
    • Sending hours — 9 AM to 5 PM in the recipient's timezone
    • Timezone — set to match your primary audience
    • Daily email limit — controls the max emails this campaign sends per day
  4. Add your email sequence (as covered in Module 5)

  5. Assign email accounts — select all warmed-up accounts for this campaign. FoxReach rotates across them automatically, distributing load evenly.

  6. Upload leads — import your verified, tagged lead list or select existing leads from your database.

Campaign Naming Convention

Use a consistent naming pattern so you can find and compare campaigns later:

[ICP Segment] — [Month Year] — [Version/Variant]

Examples:
Series A SaaS CTOs — Jan 2026 — V1
SMB E-commerce — Feb 2026 — Signal-based
Enterprise Fintech — Q1 2026 — LinkedIn Commenters

Lesson 6.2 — Assigning Email Accounts to Campaigns

FoxReach distributes your campaign emails across all assigned accounts using rotation.

How Account Rotation Works

If your campaign sends 500 emails/day and you have 10 accounts assigned, each account handles approximately 50 emails. Each account stays within its individual daily limit while the campaign achieves its total volume goal.

Best Practices

  • Assign all warmed-up accounts to maximize distribution
  • Set per-account daily limits to 50 — this is configured in the email account settings
  • Do not assign accounts that are still warming up — wait until warmup is mature
  • Monitor account health — if an account's health drops, remove it from active campaigns

Lesson 6.3 — The Sending Ramp-Up

Never go from 0 to full volume overnight. Ramp up gradually, just like warmup.

Ramp-Up Schedule

PhaseDurationDaily VolumeFocus
TestWeek 150–100Monitor deliverability, check inbox placement
ValidateWeek 2200–300Monitor reply quality, iterate messaging
ScaleWeek 3Target volumeFull campaign execution
MaintainOngoingStable volumeMonitor and optimize

Week 1 — Test Phase

  1. Launch campaign with 50–100 leads
  2. Run Glock Apps and Mail Tester checks
  3. Monitor open rates (target: 40%+)
  4. Monitor bounce rates (target: under 2%)
  5. Read every reply — assess quality and relevance
  6. Adjust copy if results are below targets

Week 2 — Validation Phase

  1. Increase to 200–300 leads
  2. Confirm ICP fit based on reply quality
  3. A/B test subject line variations
  4. Iterate on messaging based on objections received
  5. Verify account health scores remain stable

Week 3+ — Scale Phase

  1. Increase to your target volume
  2. Add additional accounts if needed
  3. Maintain daily monitoring
  4. Rotate messaging monthly to avoid fatigue

Lesson 6.4 — Campaign Lifecycle Management

FoxReach campaigns have four statuses:

StatusWhat It MeansWhen to Use
DraftCampaign is being set upWhile configuring sequences, accounts, and leads
ActiveCampaign is sendingAfter launch
PausedSending is temporarily stoppedWhen you need to make changes or fix issues
CompletedCampaign has finishedWhen all leads have been sent all sequence steps

Starting a Campaign

Before FoxReach lets you start a campaign, it validates that:

  • At least one sequence step exists
  • At least one lead is assigned
  • At least one email account is connected

If any of these are missing, you will see an error telling you what is needed.

Pausing and Resuming

When to pause:

  • Bounce rate exceeds 2%
  • Spam complaints appear
  • You discover a copy error
  • Account health drops below 70
  • You need to add or swap email accounts

When pausing, in-progress sends complete but no new sends start. When you resume, the campaign picks up where it left off — leads are not re-sent steps they already received.

Lesson 6.5 — Sending Schedule Best Practices

SettingRecommendationWhy
DaysTuesday, Wednesday, ThursdayMonday inboxes are cluttered; Friday people check out early
Hours9 AM – 11 AM recipient timezoneCatches people at the start of their workday
Daily limit per account40–50Stays well under provider limits, protects reputation
Sequence delays3–7 days between stepsEnough time for them to respond, not so long they forget

Avoid:

  • Sending on weekends (very low open rates, looks automated)
  • Sending after 5 PM (sits in inbox overnight, gets buried)
  • Sending more than 50 per account per day (reputation risk)
  • Setting delays shorter than 2 days between steps (feels aggressive)

Module 6 Quiz

  1. What three things does FoxReach validate before starting a campaign?
  2. What is the recommended daily email limit per account?
  3. What are the best days of the week for sending cold email?
  4. Why should you ramp up volume gradually instead of starting at full capacity?
  5. When should you pause a campaign?
