In Mailcamp, you should not think of a sent campaign as an editable draft. Once a campaign has already been sent, the safe approach is not to change the original email in place. Instead, the practical Mailcamp workflow is to copy the campaign, update the link in the new copy, and then send or resend the corrected version.
Can you directly change a link in a sent campaign?
- Mailcamp does not appear to provide a direct edit-link action for a campaign that has already been sent.
- Once people have received the original message, the content that was delivered to their inbox is already out.
- The correct workaround is to create a new version of the campaign.
The recommended Mailcamp workflow
- Copy the original campaign.
- Edit the new draft version.
- Replace the incorrect link in the campaign content.
- Review the updated content carefully.
- Send the corrected campaign to the right audience.
How to do it
- Go to Campaigns.
- Find the campaign you already sent.
- Use the campaign action to Copy the campaign.
- Give the copied campaign a clear internal name so you can distinguish it from the original.
- Open the copied campaign and go to the content step.
- Edit the link in the email content.
- Save the changes, then continue through schedule and confirm.
When to resend and when to send a new correction
- If you only need to resend to a filtered group from the original campaign, Mailcamp has resend options such as not received, not opened, or not clicked.
- However, resend options are not the same as editing the content of the original sent email.
- If the link itself must change, the safer approach is to use a copied campaign with the corrected content.
Helpful tips
- Rename the corrected copy clearly, such as adding updated link or v2.
- Send yourself a test email from the copied campaign before sending to contacts.
- Be careful not to resend the corrected version to the wrong audience segment.
- If the issue is urgent, keep the follow-up explanation short and clear in the corrected email.
Short answer
You should treat a sent Mailcamp campaign as already delivered. If a link needs to be corrected, copy the campaign, update the link in the new version, and send the corrected campaign from that copy.
