Zoho Campaigns is an email marketing platform for reaching, engaging, and growing an audience. It supports email, SMS, and WhatsApp campaigns, with a drag-and-drop editor, templates, and AI-assisted campaign content creation. Contacts can be organized into lists, enriched with custom fields, and segmented through multiple conditions. Automated workflows can trigger messages based on recipient behavior, and live workflows can be edited without interrupting ongoing journeys. Ecommerce tools cover promotional messages, purchase follow-ups, feedback requests, and abandoned-cart triggers. A/B testing compares email variants, while reports track opens, clicks, unsubscribes, bounces, and delivery statistics. Integrations listed include Zoho CRM, Salesforce, Shopify, SurveyMonkey, HubSpot, and Zapier. The Forever Free plan costs nothing and includes up to 2,000 contacts, 6,000 emails per month, and five users; the listed subscriber limit is 500. A 14-day trial is available. Zoho says it does not show ads in its products or sell user information to third parties.
