EMAIL CAMPAIGN GOVERNANCE · Workflow idea

Keep subscriber choices central when preparing an email campaign.

For an authorized email-program owner, prepare a campaign draft or review subscriber status and list changes. Verify the source and consent basis for every address, honor unsubscribes, suppression lists, and regional marketing rules, protect subscriber information, and keep campaigns unsent until a human checks the audience, message, sender, and schedule. Additions and removals must be reviewed against the documented subscriber request.

The handoff

An unsent campaign draft or reviewed subscriber change with consent evidence and owner approval status.

Keep in mind

An incorrect list change can cause unwanted marketing or erase a valid preference, and a prepared campaign can still contain misleading claims. Verify consent and suppression status, protect addresses, check message accuracy and required disclosures, and require explicit human approval before launch.

04 / Make it yours

Set the brief.
Set the standard.

A few choices shape the work around your team.

Define approved lists and consent sources

Use current, auditable records for each mailing audience.

Protect subscriber data and suppression files

Limit visibility and keep opt-out controls authoritative.

Keep new campaigns unsent by default

Separate draft creation from launch and scheduling.

Assign a campaign approval owner

Require human review of audience, content, and timing before delivery.
