Using the dashboard

The dashboard

A tour of the mailer123 web app — how to get set up and where every feature lives.

These guides cover the web app — creating and sending email from the dashboard, no code required. (For the REST API, see the API reference; to drive everything from an AI assistant, see MCP.)

Getting set up

The first time you sign in, an onboarding wizard walks you through two things:

  1. Create a project. A project (workspace) holds its own contacts, domains, templates, and campaigns. Everyone you invite to a project shares its data.
  2. Add a sending domain. You can't send until at least one domain is verified — see Domains for the DNS steps.

Once a domain is verified you land on the Dashboard, which shows your last 30 days of sending — emails sent, delivered, opens, clicks, bounces, complaints — plus quick counts of contacts, groups, and campaigns, and any campaigns that are currently sending.

Where things live

The left sidebar is the map of the app:

SectionWhat it's for
DashboardAt-a-glance activity and engagement for the last 30 days.

TemplatesReusable email bodies. See Templates.
CampaignsCreate, send, schedule, and track bulk email. See Campaigns.
All MailA searchable log of every individual email and its events. See Sending email.
DomainsAdd and verify sending domains; watch their reputation. See Domains.
APICreate and manage API keys (project owners only). See Authentication.
MetricsTime-series delivery and engagement charts. See Analytics.
SuppressionsAddresses that won't be emailed (bounced, complained, manual).
Unsubscribe pageThe unsubscribe page designs appended to your emails.
SettingsPlan & usage, project members and invites, and your profile.

A typical first campaign

  1. Verify a domain so you have a sender address (Domains).
  2. Add contacts — import a CSV or add them one by one (Contacts).
  3. (Optional) Save a template you can reuse (Templates).
  4. Create a campaign, pick your audience, write the email, and send a test (Campaigns).
  5. Send or schedule it, then track results in the campaign and Metrics.
