5. When you're ready, click Continue in the top right corner.

Step 5: Send Email

1. After you’ve completed the To, From, Subject, and Content sections of the email builder, you should see a green checkmark next to each. That means your campaign is ready to schedule or send immediately.

2. Once you're ready to send out your Reel.Reviews campaign, click Send. Then, in the Review Your Campaign modal, click Send Now to confirm your send.
