Campaigns
Campaigns is Bitment's outbound sales tool, built around one idea: no templates and no merge tags. Instead of one email stamped with a name, the AI writes a genuinely bespoke sequence of emails for each prospect, you review and edit what you want, then start it. The app itself is a prospect pool: import prospects, tag and rank them, select an audience, and draft a campaign against it.
Where to find it
Open Campaigns from the dock. It's a firm-wide app: prospects are one pool shared across the firm, not scoped to a single client, though a prospect can still reference an existing client.
Key concepts
- Prospect: a person in your outbound pool, with freeform tags and an optional AI-generated priority ranking (a description, a recommendation, and the reasoning behind it).
- Campaign: an AI-authored sequence of emails for one prospect. A prospect can hold several draft campaigns but only one active campaign at a time.
- Sending account: the connected email account a campaign sends from (see the Emails manual for connecting one).
- Reply: an inbound message to a campaign email, automatically classified by intent.
- Auto-halt: Bitment stopping a campaign for a prospect on its own, when a reply signals to stop or when the prospect's address hard-bounces.
- Sourcing: an optional integration with People Data Labs for finding new prospects to bring into the pool.
Get prospects in
Import a CSV or add prospects by hand. Tag them freely, tags are how you slice the pool into a campaign's audience later. You can also have the AI rank prospects by priority against a description of what you're looking for, producing a tier and a short rationale for each one.
Draft a campaign
- Select the prospects you want (filter the pool, then select all N matching to grab the whole filtered set, not just the visible page).
- Click Draft Campaign to open a full-view AI chat.
- Tell it the objective, the offer, and the tone, anything that matters to how the emails should read. It authors a real, complete email sequence per prospect, not one template with names swapped in.
- Review each drafted email. Edit it by hand, or tell the chat what to change across the board.
- Click Start.
The chat header's download icon exports the drafting conversation as a PDF.
Sending, so it reads like a person wrote it
Campaign emails are written to look like ordinary, hand-composed mail, not a mass-mail blast, because that's what actually gets delivered. Concretely:
- Campaign emails carry no tracking pixel and no other machine fingerprint.
- Starting a campaign requires a connected sending account. If the address you pick isn't on a subdomain, Bitment recommends sending outreach from a subdomain'd address instead, so the root domain's reputation stays insulated.
- Bitment checks SPF, DKIM, and DMARC on the selected sender's domain and warns you, with plain-language fix guidance, before you send at volume; outbound mail from a domain that isn't set up correctly lands in spam.
While a campaign runs
- Scheduled emails go out on their own schedule; you can send an upcoming one now instead of waiting.
- Inbound replies are collected, and the AI classifies each one's intent.
- A reply that signals you should stop, and a hard bounce, both auto-halt the campaign for that prospect, so nobody keeps getting mail after saying no or after their address stops working. Once an address hard-bounces, Bitment remembers it and refuses to start a new campaign to that address again.
- You can halt, edit, or delete a campaign yourself at any time.
The prospect detail page shows their campaigns, upcoming emails, and inbound replies in one place.
Sourcing new prospects
The Sourcing section is an optional integration with People Data Labs, using your own API key, for finding new prospects to bring into the pool. It works the same loop across three kinds of data, person, company, and job posting:
- Match: a low-cost count of how many records fit your filters.
- Purchase: a bounded fetch of matching records, which persists as an order you can browse later; purchasing more against the same filters appends to the same order.
- Import (person records only): create prospects from a purchased order. Free, and safe to run twice, importing the same person again does nothing.
Every priced action states its worst-case cost up front in credits, and a monthly credit budget you set is enforced before any purchase, so a mistake can't run up an unexpected bill. Connect your API key and set that budget under Campaigns' Sourcing settings.
Tips
- Rank before you draft: an AI priority pass makes "select all N matching" a meaningful audience instead of your whole pool.
- Keep an eye on the sender warnings before starting a campaign at volume; they exist because deliverability problems are much easier to prevent than to fix afterward.
- Use tags on imported prospects immediately, they're the fastest way to build a campaign audience later.
