Where it is in the app

Everything starts on the Home screen, the first thing you see after you sign in.

  • Home

Amino Engine is organised as products. The left sidebar changes depending on which one you are in.

#The main sidebar

When you sign in you land on the combined Home. The sidebar here is a flat list of four rows:

  • Home
  • Email & SMS
  • Advertising
  • Settings

Press Email & SMS to open the email and texting workspace. Press Advertising to open the ad tools. Both have their own sidebar, with All products at the top to take you back.

#Inside Email & SMS

Rows, from the top:

Row What you do there
Home Your revenue from email, your list, your sending health.
Campaigns One-off emails to a list or segment.
Flows Emails that send themselves when something happens, such as a cart left behind.
SMS Register your business for texting, send texts, read replies. The row only shows once texting is switched on for your account.
Audience Folder: Contacts, and Lists & segments.
Tools Folder: Templates, Receipts & codes, Forms, Coupons.
Reports Folder: Analytics, Messages, Reputation.
Settings One row that opens every setting.

Press a folder to open it and see its rows.

The names to remember:

  • Flows is the word for automations. The address in your browser still says automations.
  • Receipts & codes is where order confirmations, password resets and login codes live.
  • Messages is the log of every email, so you can see whether a given person got a given email.
  • Reputation is how mailbox providers see you.

#The bottom of the sidebar

  • Setup guide · 2 of 4 done until you finish the checklist.
  • A trial line, such as Trial · 5 days left, that opens Settings → Billing. When the trial is over it reads Trial ended.
  • Your first name, which opens Settings → General → Account, and a light and dark switch. The switch only changes how the app looks to you.
  • Plan & billing and Sign out.

#Settings

Settings is one row, and the page it opens has its own left rail with these groups:

  • General: Personal, Account, Users, Messaging, Domains, API keys, Activity log, Security.
  • Billing: Overview, Payments & invoices, Preferences.
  • Email: Sender information, Sender preferences, Tracking, Brand kit.
  • Text message: Sender information, Sender preferences, Terms. This group only shows once texting is switched on for your account.
  • Attribution
  • Data: Contact fields, Profile maintenance.
  • Monitors
  • Other: Consent pages, Integrations.

#Where to find things, by job

If you cannot remember where something is, start from what you want to do:

  • Sending to a list: Campaigns.
  • Something that should happen on its own: Flows.
  • Who you can email: Audience.
  • Why an email did not arrive: Reports → Messages.
  • Why emails go to spam: Reports → Reputation.
  • Your card and invoices: Settings → Billing.

#If it didn't work

  • You cannot see Advertising. It shows as Advertising with an Off tag until you turn it on, and it may be hidden for some accounts.
  • You cannot change a setting. Your role may only allow you to see it. Ask an owner or admin. See "Team members and what each role can do".
