Introduction
SpotDraft's Campaign feature is a powerful tool for streamlining the process of sending out and managing multiple contracts with different counterparties. By using Campaigns, you can easily generate, track, and execute batches of contracts, saving time and improving efficiency. This article will guide you step-by-step through the process of creating and managing a campaign in SpotDraft.
This is particularly useful for HR contracts, an example can be to send growth letters to more than 500 employees. This can be done in fraction of the time using Campaigns as compared to sending template contracts individually.

- Enter a Campaign Name: In the "Campaign Name" field, enter a descriptive name for your campaign. This will help you easily identify it later.
