Web settings (website for campaigns)

How your campaign feed and web versions work, and how to make campaigns public or private.

Written by David Isak Hansen

Every email campaign has a web version with its own URL, and that URL can be shared. Whether a campaign is private or public doesn't change this — it changes who can discover the campaign on your feed page.

Private vs. public campaigns

Private — accessible to the selected recipients and to anyone with the direct URL. The campaign isn't listed publicly on the feed. A logged-in contact will see any private campaign they were a recipient of when they visit the feed page, including flow posts.

Public — listed on your feed page for anyone to browse and find, whether they're logged in or not.

In both cases the campaign has a shareable URL you can post on social media, your website, or anywhere else on the web, and it stays accessible as long as it's published.

Because a private link works for anyone who has it, treat private as "unlisted" rather than "restricted." If a campaign contains something you don't want forwarded, keep that in mind when sending.

Web versions and interactive blocks

Email campaigns are rendered directly in the email. If a campaign contains interactive blocks such as videos, surveys, polls, or forms, the interaction opens the web version of the campaign.

The feed page

Go to Settings → Web and set Feed visibility to Public to activate your feed page. It's hosted on your Spoks URL or your custom domain.

What a visitor sees depends on who they are:

  • Not logged in — public campaigns only.

  • Logged in as a contact — public campaigns, plus every private campaign and flow post where that contact was a recipient.

Choosing private or public

Once the feed is public, the review screen lets you choose whether a campaign is Private or Public before sending. You can also change an already published campaign from private to public, and vice versa.

If feed visibility is set to Private, there's no feed page and campaigns can only be published as private.

Subscribe button

On the feed page, a subscribe button is shown in the top-right corner. This lets you link to the feed from your website — for example as a "Blog" or "Updates" section — and let visitors subscribe directly.
