Store helpful reminders of your Broadcast's contents
When creating a Broadcast, you can optionally add an internal note or description to give yourself more context on what your Broadcast is about.
Only you can see the internal note—it will not be shown to your subscribers.
You'll see your internal notes under your Broadcasts' subject lines on the Broadcasts page:
And they'll appear in the Internal note section in the Overview page of each Broadcast's reports, too.
The internal note is also indexed by the Broadcasts page's search feature, so you can use it to find a Broadcast you're looking for.
Adding internal notes to your Broadcast draft
To add an internal note to your Broadcast, write your Broadcast as usual. After that, navigate to the Publish page in the Broadcast editor.
Enable the Send email option, then scroll down and click Advanced options. It'll expand to reveal a field for filling out an internal note:
We'll save your internal note automatically as you set up the rest of your Broadcast's send and publish settings.
Updating internal notes after sending your Broadcast
To add or edit your Broadcast's internal notes after it's been sent, go to the main Broadcasts page, and click the subject line of the Broadcast for which you want to add an internal note.
The Broadcast's Overview report will load. Click the pencil icon at the top right of the Internal note section to add an internal note or edit an existing one:
Click Save to save your new (or updated) internal note.
How to use internal notes
Internal notes are purely for your own reference. Here are a few things you might find useful to save:
Audience—the Tags, Segments, or other filters you used to choose your recipients.
Call to action—what you encouraged subscribers to do, like checking out a new blog post or buying a product on sale.
Launch—whether the Broadcast was part of a launch campaign, for easier reference and searchability.
Internal notes vs. preview text
While subscribers can't view internal notes, they can view preview text you've added to your Broadcasts.
The preview text will appear after the subject line when your Broadcast lands in your subscribers' inboxes. It's great for enticing subscribers to open and read your email.
