Overview
Email activity allows you to create and send marketing or transactional-style emails directly from Nexus, without relying on external email tools. It is designed for:
-
Retail marketing teams running campaign-based communications
-
Orchestrated journeys where email supports loyalty mechanics (e.g. challenges, offers, games)
-
Personalised messaging using member data and behaviour
Email is part of the Communications activity group and can be added to any existing campaign
-
Email is a native Communication activity in the Nexus platform, tightly integrated with Campaigns and Orchestration.
-
It enables retailers to send bulk and personalized emails based on customer data, consent, and segmentation.
-
Email can be used standalone or orchestrated together with other activities (offers, games, challenges, push, banners).
-
Content is created with a drag-and-drop editor and supports merge tags from the Lobyco Data Platform.

Targeting should always be consent-aware and audience-based.
