Hi! We use the Campaign calendar to plan our marketing activities for the year. Every marketing email is drafted, associated with a campaign, and assigned a sending date, BUT we don’t want to have to ‘schedule’ the email to go out. Therefore the email draft doesn’t appear on the campaign calendar.
It would be GREAT to be able to see drafted marketing emails on our calendar just like how we see sent & scheduled emails.
Please help!
Hey @a11r, Happy Monday!
A workaround I can think of now could be to mark drafted emails with a specific label or tag within your email platform. This way, you can still keep track of them alongside scheduled and sent emails.
To our top experts @Crystal_Hopper, @tverdokhlib1 and @Jnix284 do you have any recommendations for @a11r matter?
Thank you,
Pam
Hi @a11r yes, I can see how that would be helpful in that case. I just ran a test on my Campaign calendar. I noticed that Drafted social media posts show up on the calendar. I “scheduled” an email still in draft that has a campaign associated and it does NOT show up on the calendar.
I popped over to the Ideas Board and you are not alone in this thinking. Please go like and comment on this Idea and let’s get this done for you!

@a11r this has definitely popped up before in a few discussions around campaigns and calendars, I’m surprised the idea @Crystal_Hopper shared is so new! I’ve upvoted/commented and encourage you to have others who would benefit join the conversation to help gain a bit of traction to improve the visibility of the idea to the product team.
Yo, I’m new to HubSpot and just started the Email Marketing course, but I totally get what you’re saying. It would be super useful to see drafted emails on the calendar without having to schedule them. That way, you could plan visually without committing to a send date. Hope HubSpot adds that feature soon!
Hi @JonyWilliam
Thanks for jumping in and sharing your experience!
As @Crystal_Hopper and @Jnix284 mentioned, I’d encourage you to head over to that Ideas Board post they shared and add your voice to the conversation. The more real use cases and votes we can get on these ideas, the better chance we have of getting the product team’s attention.
Your perspective as someone new to HubSpot going through the courses is especially valuable.
Thanks for being part of the conversation!
Best, Victor
This idea still comes up on the idea board:

The topic @Crystal_Hopper referenced was more about the visualization of automated emails being sent on a recurring a basis to individuals that trigger the send.
I think what we want is better visualization of planned, regular sends to our list.
