Adding recipients to a campaign

You can add recipients to an email campaign in three different ways:

Starting with the option to import From Leads, you can import existing leads in Hunter into your campaign's Audience section.

To find the specific leads you're looking for, you can apply multiple filters to help you narrow your search. The filtering options are very broad, with default options and specific ones based on the attributes you have associated with your leads.

When choosing to import leads by uploading a CSV, you will be redirected to a new page where you can upload your file. The system will then prompt you to either select the destination list for your leads or provide the option to create a new Leads list.

You can upload a CSV or TXT file. It's important to note that the file must use commas or semicolons as column delimiters. To be valid, your rows must contain at least an email column.

You also have the choice to request the system to verify the emails during the upload process. This will consume one verification credit per email verification.

By choosing the option Manually, you can add the recipients manually by entering their email address, comma-separated, or one per line.

Once you have added your leads to your email campaign's Audience you can also verify the email addresses before launching your campaign, we will let you know the cost associated with the verifications.

Hunter will tell you the percentage of unverified emails in your Audience list and allow you to Test all unverified email addresses or verify single emails by clicking on Verify email.

Verifying your leads is part of a successful cold email outreach strategy as it will drastically reduce your bounce rate, increase your success and limit the risks of harming your email reputation.

To add new leads to an existing campaign, just go to the Audience section of your campaign and select + Add. This way you can add additional recipients to your campaign using one of the three methods explained previously.

As soon as a new lead is added to an active campaign, a new email is created and sent according to your sending schedule.

In the case of a new campaign that has not been launched yet, when you manually cancel one or a few leads from your Campaign's Audience, you can include them again by deleting them from the "removed recipients" list.

To do so, go to the Audience section of your campaign and select "(Number) removed recipients" as shown in the screenshot below.

Now, simply click on Clear the list. This will free up the emails to add them again to the Campaign.

Finally, you also have the option to add leads to a new or existing campaign, directly from the Leads section.

To do so, first select the chosen lead/s, a blue actions menu will pop up. Now select Add to a Campaign or click on the three dots to select the option Create a new Campaign, based on your preference, as shown in the image below.

The amount of recipients that can be added to an email campaign varies based on your plan, however, there is no limit to the number of campaigns you can create.

👉 In case you have reached the limit of recipients per email campaign allowed in your plan, but need to add more, we simply suggest duplicating your campaign and adding the remaining leads to the new campaign.

If you are adding leads through a CSV upload, keep in mind that Hunter will always extract the initial rows from your file, corresponding to the number of recipients allowed per campaign in your plan (e.g. the first 500 for a Free plan).
