Create a Campaign

In Dynamo, a campaign is the container for everything you send. Before you can deliver a marketing message, you first need a campaign — each message is sent within a selected campaign, and campaigns live under an ads account.

This tutorial walks you through creating a campaign end to end: choosing where it lives, filling in its details, setting a budget, and confirming it went live.

Watch the full walkthrough, or follow the step-by-step guide below.

Before you start

  • Access to a Dynamo workspace (e.g. "Baba Casino" or "Dynamo10x Demo").
  • At least one connected Channel and Ad Account.
  1. 1

    Open the Campaigns page

    From the left sidebar, under Marketing Tools, click Campaigns. This is the home for every campaign in the selected workspace.

    The page header explains the essentials: to send a marketing message you first need a campaign, and campaigns are created under an ads account.

    Marketing Tools → Campaigns in the left sidebar.
  2. 2

    Choose a Channel and Ad Account

    At the top of the page, pick the Channel you want to advertise on, then select the Ad Account the campaign will be created under.

    The Ad Account determines billing and currency (for example "10x_demo · act_774413098979805 · USD"). Make sure the right account is selected before you continue.

    Tip: If you have never created a campaign for this workspace, you will see a "No campaigns yet" empty state — that is expected.

    Select the Channel (left) and the Ad Account (right).
  3. 3

    Start a new campaign

    Click New Campaign in the top-right corner to open the Create Campaign dialog.

    If this workspace has no campaigns yet, you can also use the large Create new campaign button in the center of the page — both open the same dialog.

    The "New Campaign" button, top-right of the Campaigns page.
  4. 4

    Fill in the campaign details

    Give the campaign a clear Campaign Name — this is the only required field, so it is the minimum you need to create the campaign.

    Optionally add an Adset Name and Ad Name to keep your structure organized, and choose a Pixel if you want to track conversions. Leave Pixel as "None" if you are not tracking conversions yet.

    Tip: Use a descriptive, consistent naming pattern (for example "Q3_Promo_Retargeting") so campaigns are easy to find later.

    Campaign Details: name (required), adset, ad, and pixel (all optional).
  5. 5

    Confirm the channel

    In the Channel section of the dialog, confirm the campaign is being created on the correct channel — for example "10x - Demo".

    This mirrors the channel you selected on the Campaigns page and ties the campaign to that destination.

    The selected channel is shown and pre-selected for you.
  6. 6

    Set the budget

    Choose a Budget Type: a Lifetime Budget spends a fixed total across the whole campaign, while a Daily Budget spends up to a set amount each day.

    Then enter the Budget Amount in the account currency. This controls how much Dynamo is allowed to spend for the campaign.

    Tip: Not sure which to pick? Lifetime is great for time-boxed promotions; Daily is better for always-on campaigns you want to pace evenly.

    Budget Type (Lifetime / Daily) and the Budget Amount field.
  7. 7

    Create the campaign

    Review your entries, then click Create Campaign to save it. If you need to start over, click Cancel to discard the dialog.

    Dynamo creates the campaign under the selected ad account and closes the dialog.

    Click "Create Campaign" to finish.
  8. 8

    Verify your campaign is live

    Your new campaign now appears in the Campaigns list. Each row shows its channel, ID, pixel, budget type, and funds, along with Used and Left amounts.

    Use the toggle on the right to switch a campaign between Live and paused. From each row you can also open Insights, Edit the settings, or Delete the campaign.

    Next step: check performance in Insights

    Once your campaign starts running, click Insights on its row to see results. The Messages tab reports delivered messages, read rate, link button clicks, and cost metrics, while the Conversions tab tracks conversion performance.

    Insights are real-time and aggregate across all campaign executions, so refresh regularly for the most accurate data.

That's it — you've created a campaign!
