Types of campaigns

There are 2 types of campaigns in Up:

Regular Campaigns: These are one-off campaigns that you can send to existing mailing lists, and emails are sent to one or mailing lists at once. You may want to use this type of campaign for, for example, outreach campaigns.

Automated Campaigns: The are the campaigns running based on new subscribers on mailing lists. For example, a campaign you may want to send in a trial-to-conversion sequence, where a sequence os emails go out as new users subscribes to your lists.
