    Purpose​

    This window displays an overview of all draft messages in your system. Draft messages are not yet assigned to a group. Mapp Engage sorts the messages onto separate overviews that are based on the sendout channel of the message. Draft messages have not yet been scheduled or sent.

    What can I do in this window?

    • Create or edit a draft version of an email message.

    • Access overviews of the draft messages that are saved on your system arranged by channel.

    • Copy, or view a prepared message.

    • Archive or delete a prepared message.

    • Select two or more draft email messages for a split sendout.

    In a split sendout, multiple variations of an email message are created as drafts. These variations are sent to a portion of your total recipient list so that you can identify the highest-performing version. The most successful message variation can then be sent to the remaining recipient in the group. This main sendout is either started manually or scheduled for a set date and time. You can select up to ten draft messages for a split sendout.
