UrTravelPro Marketing is an email marketing platform built exclusively for travel agencies. It lets you create email campaigns, build automated sequences, manage your contact lists, capture leads via forms, and design landing pages — all from one place. This guide walks you from a brand-new account to your first sent campaign.

Signing In

Marketing uses Single Sign-On (SSO). You sign in with the same UrTravelPro account you use for other UrTravelPro apps — there is no separate registration. Click Get Started on the home page and you'll be redirected to the UrTravelPro Core login. Once authenticated, you land on your Marketing dashboard.

First-Time Setup (5 Steps)

  1. Configure your settings. Go to Settings and enter your agency name and mailing address. These are required for CAN-SPAM compliance and appear in the footer of every email you send.

  2. Verify a sending domain. Go to Sending Domains and add your domain (e.g. `youragency.com`). Marketing gives you DNS records (DKIM and Return-Path) to add at your registrar. Once verified, you can send from addresses like `[email protected]` instead of a shared default.

  3. Import your contacts. Subscribed contacts from other UrTravelPro apps sync automatically. You can also import via CSV or add contacts manually from the Contacts page.

  4. Customize your branding. Go to Branding to set your logo and brand colors — these are pulled into email templates and forms.

  5. Send your first campaign. Go to Campaigns and click Create Campaign. The step-by-step builder walks you through compose, preview, and send.

Understanding the Core Concepts

Contacts

Every email you send goes to a Contact. Contacts have a name, email address, optional metadata (company, tags, custom fields), and a subscription status. Unsubscribed contacts are skipped from all future sends automatically.

Audiences, Segments, and Tags

Campaigns vs. Automations

Forms, Popups, and Landing Pages

Your First Campaign in 5 Minutes

  1. Go to CampaignsCreate Campaign.

  2. Pick a starting point: blank, a template, or import from Canva.

  3. Write a subject line and preview text (the gray line that shows in the inbox before opening).

  4. Compose your email in the editor. Drag blocks (text, image, button, video) from the left panel.

  5. On the Recipients step, pick the audience(s), segment(s), or tag(s) to send to.

  6. On Review & Send, send a test to yourself, double-check everything, then schedule or send now.
