A.  Finding the Actions

1. Click on the + button, located at every intersection on your workflow.Finding Actions Step 1 : Click on the + symbol

A pop-up window appears.


2. Choose the Actions tab, on the pop-up that appears.

The other option is to fetch the content from an existing campaign. You need to have a readily available design to use here, but in case you haven't made one you can always design one using the Moosend Editor and return here to add it afterwards. The available task list will remind you that this step hasn't been completed yet.
