You send a welcome email to a new subscriber, they open it, but then forget to take action. A day later, a quick SMS reminder nudges them back, and suddenly they’re converting. That’s the power of running campaigns across [multiple channels](https://www.mailmodo.com/guides/omnichannel-customer-engagement/).

But managing email and SMS in different tools quickly becomes hectic. You juggle separate tools for email, SMS, CRM, and automation, often at the expense of speed, [personalization](https://www.mailmodo.com/guides/email-personalization/), or results.

In this guide, I’ll show you how to run a multi-channel campaign seamlessly using Mailmodo, which combines email and SMS into a single, unified flow.

## What does a multi-channel campaign look like? 

A multi-channel campaign is basically a marketing strategy where you reach out to your customers across multiple platforms, such as email, [SMS](https://www.mailmodo.com/guides/sms-marketing/), mobile application, etc.

You can mix and match several channels when creating a multi-channel campaign.

To give you an example flow:

* A user signs up on your website → they get a [welcome email](https://www.mailmodo.com/guides/welcome-email/).  
* Two days later → they receive a personalized SMS with a limited-time offer.  
* If they don’t click → a reminder email is sent with [product recommendations](https://www.mailmodo.com/guides/product-recommendation-emails/).

## How to create a multi-channel campaign

If you have Mailmodo, you don’t need a stack of tools to run a campaign across multiple channels. With Mailmodo’s Journey Builder, you can design and automate an entire campaign that reaches out to your customers via both [email marketing](https://www.mailmodo.com/guides/email-marketing/) and SMS. Here’s how:

1. In your Mailmodo dashboard, go to [Journeys](https://www.mailmodo.com/guides/email-journey/) → Create Journey.

2. Choose whether to start from scratch or pick a pre-built template like Welcome Series, [Cart Abandonment Recovery](https://www.mailmodo.com/email-flow/ecommerce-email-flows/browse-abandonment-email-flow/), or [Lead Nurture Flow](https://www.mailmodo.com/email-flow/saas-email-flow/lead-nurture-email-flow/).

3. If you’re building from scratch, you’ll need to choose what starts the journey. This could be:

   * A user signing up or filling out a form  
   * A trigger from an external system (like Shopify or a webhook integration)  
4. Once the trigger is set, you’ll see the visual flow builder where you can map out the full [campaign](https://www.mailmodo.com/guides/email-marketing-campaign/).

5. Inside the builder, you can layer in emails, SMS, and wait times. Let’s create a sample email flow:

    ![sms multi.PNG](https://res.cloudinary.com/mailmodo/image/upload/f_auto,q_100/v1756902477/strapi/sms_multi_2b4c48e88e.png)

-  Add send campaign block and connect it with the initial trigger.
-  Set up the campaign block by adding an [email template](https://www.mailmodo.com/email-templates/) and other relevant details.  
-  Add the ‘Opened block’ from under the conditions section
   and connect it to the last block. 
- Now, two more blocks: one Send SMS block (connect with the x) and another send campaign block (connect it with the tick).
- Set up the SMS block by connecting your Twilio account and writing your SMS message.


6. Once you’re done, click Next. 

7. Review everything and publish the journey.
