Accessing Campaigns in Horilla CRM

All campaigns in Horilla CRM are accessible from the Sales module under the Campaigns section. This centralized access ensures marketing and sales teams can manage campaigns efficiently without navigating across multiple screens or tools.

From the Campaigns module, users can:

• View all campaigns in one place
• Switch between List View and Kanban View
• Create and manage campaigns.
• Track campaign performance and progress

Campaigns List View

The Campaigns List View serves as the command center for managing all campaigns. It is designed for clarity, speed, and flexibility, allowing users to handle day-to-day campaign operations with ease.

Key Features of List View

• Bulk Actions
  • Select multiple campaigns at once to update statuses, manage records, or perform bulk operations — saving time and effort.

• Customizable Columns
  • Customize the list view by adding or removing columns based on your needs. Commonly used fields include:
    • Campaign Name
    • Campaign Type
    • Campaign Owner
    • Status
    • Expected Revenue
    • Budget Cost
      

• Sorting and Filtering
  • Sort campaigns by revenue, status, owner, or dates. Advanced filters help narrow down campaigns based on type, performance, or lifecycle stage.

• Powerful Search
  • Quickly locate specific campaigns using keyword-based search.

• Inline Actions
  • Edit, clone, delete, or manage campaigns directly from the list without additional navigation.

This structured view gives teams complete visibility and control over all marketing campaigns.

Kanban View

The Kanban View displays campaigns in a card-based layout grouped by status, providing a clear visual representation of campaign progress.

Using the Kanban View

• Switch to the Kanban view by clicking the Kanban icon in the Campaigns section.
• Campaigns are grouped by status, such as:
  • New
  • Planned
  • In Progress
  • Completed
  • Aborted

Drag-and-Drop Management
Move campaigns between columns to instantly update their status.

Visual Pipeline Overview
The Kanban board provides a clear overview of how campaigns are distributed across stages, helping teams identify bottlenecks and prioritize execution.

Quick Campaign Insights
Each campaign card displays essential details such as:

• Campaign owner
• Campaign type
• Expected revenue
• Budget cost

This view is ideal for teams that prefer a visual, workflow-driven approach to campaign management.

Creating a New Campaign

Creating campaigns in Horilla CRM is simple, flexible, and tailored to different working styles.

How to Create a Campaign

• Click the New button in the Campaigns module.
• A pop-up form opens where you can enter campaign details.

Campaign Creation Forms

Horilla CRM supports two campaign creation options:

Multi-Step Form

A guided form that breaks campaign creation into multiple steps:

1. Campaign Information
2. Financial Information
3. Additional Information

This approach ensures all critical data is captured without overwhelming the user.

Single-Step Form

A traditional form where all fields are available on one page for quick data entry.

Users can switch between these forms seamlessly based on preference.

Key Campaign Fields

• Campaign Owner
• Campaign Name
• Campaign Type
• Parent Campaign (optional)
• Status
• Start Date and End Date

Once submitted, the campaign is saved instantly and becomes available across all views.

Campaign Detail View

Opening a campaign — by clicking the campaign name in the first column of the List View or clicking the campaign header in the Kanban view — displays the Campaign Detail View, which provides a complete and organized overview of campaign information.

Pipeline Stages

A visual pipeline at the top shows the campaign’s current stage. Users can easily move the campaign between stages such as New, Planned, In Progress, Completed, or Aborted.

Quick Navigation

Use the next and previous arrows to move between campaigns without returning to the list view.

Tabs in Campaign Detail View
