How to Delete an Email Campaign Category in Zibster
Overview
Campaign categories help you organize email campaigns in the Zibster Marketing Dashboard. If you no longer need a campaign category, you can delete it after removing all campaigns stored in the category and deleting its related tracking history.
Both actions are required before Zibster will allow you to delete the campaign category. Keep in mind that deleted tracking history cannot be recovered.
This guide walks you through accessing the Campaign Builder, clearing the category, deleting its tracking history, and removing the category from your Zibster account.
STEP ONE
Log in to your Zibster account and click MARKETING in the left-side menu. This opens the Marketing Dashboard.
STEP TWO
From the Marketing Dashboard, click EMAIL CAMPAIGNS to open the Campaign Builder.
The Campaign Builder is where you can create, organize, and manage your email campaigns and campaign categories.
STEP THREE
Click the CATEGORY NAME of the campaign category you want to delete.
This opens the category so you can review the campaigns currently stored inside it.
STEP FOUR
Move or delete every campaign stored in the category. The campaign category must be completely empty before it can be deleted.
If you want to keep a campaign, move it to another campaign category before continuing. If you no longer need the campaign, you can delete it.
STEP FIVE
Click TRACKING at the top of the Campaign Builder and delete the tracking history associated with the campaign category you want to remove.
Deleting the tracking history is required before the campaign category can be deleted.
Important: Tracking history cannot be recovered after it has been deleted. Make sure you no longer need the tracking information before removing it.
After deleting the tracking history, return to the Campaign Builder.
FINAL STEP
Locate the campaign category you cleared and click the TRASH CAN icon to the left of the category name.
Once the category contains no campaigns and its related tracking history has been deleted, Zibster will allow you to delete the campaign category.
