--- title: Email Campaigns with an AI Writer and Open Tracking | SaleMag description: Write email campaigns with AI or a drag-and-drop block editor, send through your own SMTP server, and track opens, clicks and unsubscribes in one place. url: https://salemag.net/platforms/email-campaigns language: en published: 2026-10-21 updated: 2026-10-23 author: SaleMag Team tags: - email campaigns - email marketing - ai email writer - smtp - newsletter --- # Email Campaigns with an AI Writer and Open Tracking | SaleMag > SaleMag's email campaigns let businesses in Bangladesh send newsletters and promotions through their own SMTP server, to the same contact list they use for WhatsApp and SMS. Write with six starter templates, a drag-and-drop block editor, raw HTML or an AI writer, target a segment or tag, schedule, and track opens, clicks and unsubscribes. - Four ways to write: starter templates, a visual block editor, HTML, or the AI writer. - The AI writer drafts subject and body in four tones and suggests three better subject lines. - Send through any SMTP server, including the SMTP of your existing email provider. - Open tracking is on by default; click tracking is optional; bot and scanner hits are filtered out. - Unsubscribe links and one-click unsubscribe headers are added automatically, and unsubscribes switch email opt-in off. Email is still where invoices, B2B buyers and international customers live. But for many Bangladeshi businesses it is a separate tool with a list that never matches their WhatsApp contacts. Writing a good-looking email also takes time most small teams do not have. An email campaign is one email sent to a chosen list of contacts, such as a newsletter, a sale announcement or a re-engagement message. SaleMag puts email campaigns on the same campaign engine and contact list as WhatsApp and SMS, and adds an AI writer for the first draft. ## How do I write an email campaign in SaleMag? SaleMag's email editor offers four ways to write a campaign: templates, visual blocks, HTML or the AI writer, one per tab: | Tab | What it gives you | |---|---| | Templates | Six starters: Welcome, Promotional Offer, Newsletter, Product Announcement, Re-engagement, Event Invitation | | Visual | Drag-and-drop blocks: heading, text, button, image, divider, spacer | | HTML | Paste or edit raw HTML | | AI writer | Describe the email and get a subject and body | A live preview shows the result before you send. ## How does SaleMag's AI email writer work? SaleMag's AI email writer drafts a subject line and an HTML body from a short description and a tone you choose. Type what the email is about, for example "Eid collection launch, free delivery inside Dhaka this week", and pick a tone: professional, friendly, urgent or informative. Keep editing the draft in the visual or HTML tab. A separate *Improve subject* button suggests three alternatives under 60 characters. The writer runs on your workspace's own AI provider (OpenAI, Anthropic or Gemini), the same key that powers the [AI chatbot](https://salemag.net/features/ai-chatbot). ## Which email service does SaleMag send through? SaleMag sends email campaigns through your own SMTP server, so any provider with SMTP access works. You enter host, port, username, password, encryption and the from name and address, and send a test email from settings. Each campaign can set its own from name, from address and reply-to. Sending is paced in batches of 1,000 recipients, with automatic retries for unexpected errors. ## Who receives a SaleMag email campaign? A SaleMag email campaign goes only to contacts in your chosen audience who have an email address and email [opt-in](https://salemag.net/glossary/opt-in). Pick a segment from your [CRM](https://salemag.net/features/crm-segments), a tag, all contacts or a CSV upload, and preview the audience. Personalise with tokens like `{{contact.first_name}}` or any custom field. ## How do I measure email campaign results in SaleMag? SaleMag reports opens, clicks, unsubscribes and failures for each email campaign, and ignores opens and clicks from mail scanners and bots. - **Opens:** an invisible tracking pixel, on by default. - **Clicks:** optional click tracking through signed redirect links. - **Unsubscribes:** counted per campaign. - **Failures:** the reason per recipient, with retry and CSV export. When a campaign finishes you get an in-app and email notice. ## How does SaleMag handle email unsubscribes? SaleMag adds an unsubscribe footer and the one-click `List-Unsubscribe` headers that Gmail and other inboxes look for to every campaign email, and switches off email opt-in for anyone who unsubscribes. The footer is skipped if you placed the `{{context.unsubscribe_url}}` link yourself, and later campaigns skip unsubscribed contacts automatically. ## What doesn't SaleMag's email do? SaleMag does not host a sending service or verify your domain's SPF and DKIM records; set those up with your SMTP provider. Bounces are not processed automatically, incoming email does not reach the shared inbox, and there is no A/B testing yet. ## Who should use SaleMag's email campaigns? SaleMag's email campaigns suit shops and service businesses that want newsletters and promotions on the same list as their [WhatsApp broadcasts](https://salemag.net/features/whatsapp-broadcast) and [bulk SMS](https://salemag.net/platforms/bulk-sms).

Services like Amazon SES, Mailgun or SendGrid work through their SMTP credentials. ### How does SaleMag's AI email writer work? Describe the email, choose a tone (professional, friendly, urgent or informative) and the AI writes a subject line and HTML body you can edit. It can also suggest three shorter subject lines, and it runs on your workspace's own AI provider key.

In SaleMag, an open-tracking pixel is on by default and click tracking can be switched on per campaign.
