# How to create a new campaign

How to create a campaign in eMarketeer to act as the container for your emails, forms, and landing pages.

Create a campaign as the container for the emails, forms, and landing pages you want to send and publish.

A campaign groups related components, so creating one is usually the first step for a new piece of work in eMarketeer.

{% stepper %}
{% step %}

### Open Campaigns in the left sidebar

If you want the new campaign to live inside an existing folder, navigate to that folder first.
{% endstep %}

{% step %}

### Click \[New Campaign] at the top-left

{% endstep %}

{% step %}

### Give the campaign a unique name

The name identifies the campaign inside eMarketeer and is never shown to your contacts. You can also add an optional description and tags. Both are internal-only.

{% hint style="info" %}
**Note:** The Campaign name is also used by the [web tracker](/references/references/web-tracker.md) to identify which campaign email traffic to your website originates from.
{% endhint %}
{% endstep %}

{% step %}

### Click \[Create] in the dialog

This creates the campaign and opens its empty Components page.
{% endstep %}
{% endstepper %}

## What to do next

Click \[Add Component] to add your first component to the campaign. This might be an email invitation, a registration form, or a landing page.

<div align="left" data-with-frame="true"><img src="https://2894606528-files.gitbook.io/~/files/v0/b/gitbook-x-prod.appspot.com/o/spaces%2F0ywqCs3au1x0DqPhEJTR%2Fuploads%2Fgit-blob-fad3da202b5b0076813c72916d2296ae24d9a102%2Fcreate-new-campaign-add-component-menu.png?alt=media" alt="Add Component menu listing Email, Form, SMS, Landing Page and Mobile App"></div>

The following articles cover each component type from start to finish:

* [Creating your first email](/getting-started/campaign-basics/basics-creating-email.md)
* [Creating your first form](/getting-started/campaign-basics/basics-creating-form-new.md)
* [Creating your first SMS](/getting-started/campaign-basics/basics-creating-sms.md)
* [Creating your first landing page](/guides/guides/webpage/creating-first-webpage.md)

Mobile apps are essentially landing page components but with a specialized template.

# Agent Instructions

## Querying This Documentation
If you need additional information that is not directly available in this page, you can query the documentation by asking a question.

Perform an HTTP GET request on the following URL with the `ask` and `goal` query parameters:

```
GET https://support.emarketeer.com/getting-started/campaign-basics/create-new-campaign.md?ask=<question>&goal=<user_goal>
```

`ask` is the immediate question: it should be specific, self-contained, and written in natural language.
`goal` is what the user is ultimately trying to achieve, the reason they need the answer. Sharing it helps GitBook give you a better, more relevant answer. A goal is most helpful when it describes the outcome the user wants rather than restating the question. For example, with `ask=how do I create an API token`, a goal like `automate deployments from our CI pipeline` lets GitBook tailor the answer to that use case.

The response will contain a direct answer to the question and relevant excerpts and sources from the documentation.

Use this mechanism when the answer is not explicitly present in the current page, you need clarification or additional context, or you want to retrieve related documentation sections.
