== Configuration Options and Settings ==

The AI Campaigns Builder includes the following configurable components:

* '''URL Input Field''': The central enhancement in this update. Paste any webpage link here and let the AI do the rest.
* '''Use URL as CTA''': A checkbox that, when selected, embeds the provided URL into the call-to-action button in your email.
* '''Generate Email Copy''': A button that activates AI processing to analyze the URL and produce campaign content.
* '''Editable Content Preview''': Allows users to modify, reword, or enhance the AI-generated email text before publishing.

These components ensure that while automation drives the content creation process, users retain full control to maintain branding and voice consistency.

== Best Practices and Tips ==

Here are key recommendations to maximize the effectiveness of the AI-enhanced campaign creation:

* **Use high-quality, content-rich URLs**: The better structured and clearer the webpage, the more effective the AI will be in extracting relevant messaging and tone.
* **Include persuasive content on the target page**: Calls to action, product descriptions, and user-centric language improve AI's ability to generate impactful email copy.
* **Preview and personalize**: Always review the AI-generated output, fine-tune the language to match your brand, and personalize where possible for better impact.
* **Match campaign goals to landing page intent**: Ensure that the chosen URL aligns tightly with the intent of your campaign to maintain a seamless customer journey.
* **Use the CTA link feature for continuity**: Embedding the URL into your email CTAs increases engagement and conversion by ensuring consistency.

== Common Use Cases with Examples ==

The enhanced AI Campaigns Builder supports numerous real-world marketing scenarios:

* **Product Launches**
  - Paste a product page URL to auto-generate email announcements that highlight key features and direct users to purchase or learn more.

* **Content Newsletters**
  - Link to your latest blog post, and the AI will create a summary and CTA that encourages readers to click through.

* **Event Promotions**
  - Use event landing pages as input to generate engaging invites, complete with CTAs to register or RSVP.

* **Seasonal Campaigns**
  - Link to seasonal sales or promotional pages to produce festive, timely messaging tailored for email.

* **Informational Campaigns**
  - Generate emails summarizing new product guides, documentation updates, or FAQs based on your content-rich landing pages.

== Troubleshooting ==

While the AI Campaigns Builder aims to streamline campaign creation, users may encounter some occasional challenges:

* **URL Not Accepted**
  - Ensure the URL is publicly accessible. Internal or gated pages may not be readable by the AI engine.

* **Content Feels Off-Brand**
  - Use the '''Editable Content Preview''' to refine AI output. You maintain control over tone and phrasing.

* **No CTAs Generated**
  - If CTA generation is poor, ensure your target page includes clear action-oriented language that AI can reference.

* **Repeated Content in Emails**
  - Ensure the landing page content is structured with clearly defined sections to prevent content repetition.

If issues persist, reach out to ActiveCampaign support or consult additional resources in the help center.
