Campaigns

A campaign is any push at a group of people

A launch email, a conference, a sponsorship, the ads you are about to run. Storm OS keeps who was involved and what came of it, so the dinner you hosted in September stays connected to the deal it produced in November.

Types that match real work: email, events, sponsorships, paid, social
Planning, active and completed, with who responded counted on every row
Member statuses you configure, so responded means what you decide it means
Attach a campaign to a project when the push is a piece of work

The Campaigns list with Campaigns, Segments, Events, Forms and Landing pages across the top, figures for 8 active, 235 people reached and 105 responded at 45 percent, and rows for each campaign with its dates, project, type, status and how many responded out of how many — Every campaign on one list, with 235 people reached and 105 responded across the top. Fall Summit invitations is active with 12 of 46 responded, the last-call email above it is still planning, and the Pilot customer roundtable has 14 of its 15 guests responded.

The email

Drag blocks onto the email itself

The canvas you design on is drawn by the same code that sends the message, so what you see is what lands in the inbox. Drag a heading, a picture, a button or a two-column row into any gap, set your colors and fonts once, and start from a template when you would rather not start from a blank page.

Ten blocks in a palette you drag from, or tap on a phone
Templates shown as pictures of the email they make
A full-size preview in a phone frame, and a test send marked as a test
Designed or plain text, with your address and an unsubscribe link on every send

The email composer for Fall Summit: last call, with the subject, preheader, sender, Designed or Plain choice and an opens and clicks checkbox across the top, a palette of blocks on the left, the email in the middle with a colorful hero picture, a headline, two paragraphs, a centered Take my seat button and a two-column row of pictures, and the button settings on the right — The last-call email for the Fall Summit, designed right on the email: a hero picture, the headline "Eighteen seats left, and one of them is yours", a centered Take my seat button and a two-column row of pictures below. The palette on the left drags new blocks into any gap, and the inspector on the right holds the button's label, link, style and alignment.

Sending

From your own domain, in your own name

Campaign email goes out from an address on your own domain. Type your domain once in Domain Management and Storm OS sets up three addresses on it, one for email, one for link tracking and one for landing pages, with one list of DNS records to add, each with a copy button, and one Check for all three. None of them touch the email your team already sends. The message carries your name, your words and your footer, and nothing of ours.

Subdomains by default, engage for email, io for tracking and go for pages, so your existing mail setup stays exactly as it is
Tracked links on your own domain too, so a click never passes through a stranger's address
A careful start for a new domain: each send reaches at most 1,000 people for the first two weeks
Only people who may be emailed are sent to, and you can record permission for a list you already have
Already on Mailchimp? Connect it and your campaigns send through your Mailchimp account instead

Results

Who it reached, and what it turned into

Every send reports what was delivered, opened and clicked, person by person, on the campaign and on each record. Pick the figures you care about, and follow the campaign into the deals it touched.

Six key figures by default, or your own set from fifteen, including deals won and the money in them
Opens and clicks on the person's record, where the next conversation starts
First touch and last touch on every closed deal, won or lost, worked out for you
A bounce or a failed delivery says why, in words

The Fall Summit invitations campaign after its send, with a four-step trail for people, email, test and send all checked, and a row of key figures: 46 people, 12 responded at 26 percent of everyone, 45 sent, 43 delivered at 96 percent of sent, 30 opened at 70 percent of delivered and 12 clicked at 28 percent of delivered — The Fall Summit invitations, sent to 45 people on October 2. 43 were delivered, 30 opened and 12 clicked, and 12 of the 46 people on the list have already responded. The trail above says every step is done, and See results opens the send person by person.

Segments

Describe who you mean once, and the list keeps up

A segment is a saved question about people, built from anything on your records: their role, their tags, the deals they are on. It counts again whenever you ask, so next month's campaign goes to whoever fits by then.

A live count, and who can be emailed, before you send anything
One segment feeding as many campaigns as you like, named on its card
Segments from forms and event walk-ups, made for you as people sign up
Its own page in Marketing, beside Campaigns, Events and Forms

The Segments page with a grid of segment cards, each with its name, what it asks for, a How many button and a live count, among them the Fall Summit invite list with customers, partners and investors at 46 people feeding two campaigns, Customers in active deals at 28, the Investor update list at 14 and Investors to re-engage at 4 — Every segment as a card with its count. The Fall Summit invite list asks for customers, partners and investors, counts 46 people and feeds both Fall Summit emails. Customers in active deals counts 28, the Investor update list 14, and the Fall Summit seat request, made by the page's form, has 6 so far.

Landing pages

A page for the campaign, with the form built in

Give a campaign a page of its own: an event, an offer, a waitlist. It is built by dragging sections and blocks into place, reads well on a phone, and carries the campaign's form right on the page, so every answer lands on the campaign and the records it belongs to.

Published at your workspace's address, or on your own domain such as go.yourcompany.com once you connect it in Domain Management, with a link you can put anywhere
The form sits on the page, so nobody leaves to fill it in
Each submission lands on the campaign with the page it came from and the site or link that sent the visitor
No cookies and no third-party scripts, and a visitor is known only by the form they fill in

The Fall Summit landing page as a visitor sees it, on a laptop and a phone: on the laptop a city-at-dusk hero reading The Fall Summit, Austin with a Save my seat button and a founder dinner section below, and on the phone the Save your seat section with an agenda download, a picture and the seat request form with first name, last name, email and company fields and a Submit button — The Fall Summit page at ninebark.storm-os.page/fall-summit. On a laptop it opens on the hero and the founder dinner, and on a phone the same page ends in the seat request form, which is the campaign's own form. Six people have requested a seat through it so far.

The page builder

One to three steps, built by dragging sections into place

Start from a one, two or three step template, drop in sections of one, two or three columns, and set your colors and fonts once for the whole page. The canvas is the page, drawn by the same code that serves it.

Templates for a page, a page and a form, or a page, a form and a thank-you
The form created right there, or one you already have, matched to the page's design
Desktop, tablet and phone views, and a preview link with a code to scan on your phone, before anything is published
The campaign, the form and the address named across the top, so nothing is left unconnected

The same page in the builder: two steps, tied to the Fall Summit invitations campaign and the seat request form, published at the workspace's own address. The hero and the dinner section use the workspace's colors and Manrope, set once on the right for the whole page.

Assets

Every picture and file in one library

Upload a picture or a file once and use it in any email or page. Each one knows where it is used, so you can see what a change will touch before you make it.

Search by name, with alt text stored alongside each picture
Where it is used, on every card: live pages, sent emails and drafts
Replace a file and your drafts and live pages pick up the new one
Video from YouTube or Vimeo, loaded only when a visitor presses play

The Assets library with 12 items in a grid, pictures such as Panel stage, Summit breakfast, Summit badges, Founder roundtable, City at dusk and Harvest dinner table and two PDFs, each card showing its size and where it is used, from one live page to one sent email — Twelve pictures and files for the Fall Summit in one library. The agenda PDF is used on a live page and in an email draft, the Founder roundtable picture went out in a sent email, and the sponsor kit is marked Not used yet.

Events

The dinner, from the invite to the door

An event is a campaign with a date, a registration page and a way to check people in. Everyone who registers gets a ticket with a code, and on the night your phone becomes the door.

A registration page built here, or one you already have, bound to the event
A ticket for every registrant, with a code they can read out if their phone dies
Check in by scanning, by typing the code, or by looking someone up by name
Several people checking in at once, with every phone agreeing within seconds
Walk-ups captured properly, so the person who just turned up is a real record

The Events list on its All tab, each event with its date, venue, registered, checked in and tickets sent counts, a status chip and whether walk-ups are on — Every event with how many registered, how many came through the door and how many tickets went out. The Partner summit dinner is completed with 9 of its 12 guests through the door, and the Founder dinner in Austin on October 11 already has all 17 tickets out.

The night itself

Who registered, who has a ticket, who walked in

Open the event and the whole roster is there: name, company, how to reach them, and whether they have arrived. The counts at the top are the ones you keep refreshing on the day.

Registrants with their company and contact details, on one screen
Tickets sent, and who has been through the door, counted live
Check in from a phone at the door while somebody else works the list
Anyone who turns up without registering becomes a real record

The Pilot customer roundtable event on its Registrants tab, with 15 registered, 12 checked in and 13 tickets sent, an Open the door button and a table of registrants showing company, email, phone, source, ticket time, check-in time and a note column — The Pilot customer roundtable on the day: 15 registered, 13 tickets sent and 12 through the door. Daniel Okafor has not checked in yet, and the notes beside the names say what a guest asked for, from a seat held by the door to the phase two statement of work on the table.

Forms

A public page whose answers land as records

Ask for what you need, on your own pages, with your own colors. Every answer becomes a person record, tagged, segmented, and joined to the campaign it came from.

Fields from your own records, including the custom fields you added
Multi-step pages, and questions that only appear when they are relevant
A thank-you message or your own redirect, and an automatic reply if you want one
Views, submissions and conversion on every form, with an export when you need it

The Forms list with forms, live, submissions and conversion figures across the top, an Events folder holding the registration pages for the Pilot customer roundtable and the Founder dinner in Austin with their views, submissions and conversion beside the walk-up forms tied to each event, and a Website folder holding the Pilot program interest and Talk to us forms — Eleven forms, all live, with 28 submissions at 11 percent conversion across the top. The Events folder holds the registration page for the Pilot customer roundtable, 23 views and 2 submissions, and for the Founder dinner in Austin, 41 views and 3, beside the walk-up forms that belong to each event, so a name typed at the door lands on the campaign it came from.
