Email campaign drafts with pre-send checks and a count matched yes

What it does

  • Writes the campaign and creates it as a draft
  • Checks subject, preview, links, tracking tags and merge tag fallbacks
  • Checks the unsubscribe link, mailing address, from address and image alt text
  • Blocks the campaign on any failed check
  • Shows the recipient count and the exact phrase needed to send

Your approval boundaries

Approval required

These actions always wait for your yes:

  • Sending or scheduling the campaign
  • Choosing the audience

You decide what happens next.

More about this workflow

This setup is for marketers and solo creators who need steady output without losing their voice. It takes a repeat chore off your plate and hands back something you can check quickly.

First, it writes the campaign and creates it as a draft. Next, it checks subject, preview, links, tracking tags and merge tag fallbacks. Then it checks the unsubscribe link, mailing address, from address and image alt text. After that, it blocks the campaign on any failed check. Finally, it shows the recipient count and the exact phrase needed to send. It works with your email platform and docs, each on its own login with limited access.

You get the prep work done and waiting for you. The agent stops and asks for your yes before sending or scheduling the campaign and choosing the audience, and says plainly if a step cannot be undone.

“never sends without an explicit, specific yes.”

Run your workflow

Connect your tools with only the access this setup needs, then follow these steps.

Steps

Do these in order. Test on old data before it touches live work.

  1. 1Set up Email platform. Keep it to draft access, no send or list export.
  2. 2Connect Google Docs with its own login, not yours. Grant one folder, create and edit only.
  3. 3Paste the prompt where your harness takes instructions. See the note under the Copy button.
  4. 4Do a dry run on old or test data first. Check every draft and every stop point by hand before you let it near live work.
  5. 5Read its log after the first real run. Only widen access once a week of runs looks clean.

Safeguards and trust score

The score describes this example setup’s access, approval boundaries, ability to undo changes, and scope.

Access18 / 30

Can draft things that send or spend, so it sits close to risky actions.

Human approval30 / 30

Waits for a yes on: sending or scheduling the campaign, choosing the audience.

Undo and logs14 / 20

Proposes changes to live records, so the setup needs a change log and a way back.

Scope18 / 20

Runs on its own login across 2 tools. Fewer connections means a smaller blast radius.

How to raise it

  • Access: Take away its ability to send, post or spend. Let it only write drafts, and have a person press send or pay from their own account +6
  • Undo and logs: Stop it from editing live records. Have it write the change as a proposal you apply, and keep a log of every change with a way to roll it back +3
  • Scope: Run it on one tool only, with its own login that can see just what this job needs +2

Do all of these to reach 91, up from 80.
