How to Set Up Nested Folders for Email Campaigns, Templates & Sequences

Nested folders for Campaigns, Templates, and Sequences help you keep large email programs tidy and scalable. This guide shows how to structure your assets into hierarchies so teams can find the right campaign or template in seconds. * * * ## Key Benefits of Nested Folders for Campaigns, Templates & Sequences Organizing assets with nested folders creates a scalable structure that grows with your agency or brand. - Improved organization: Group related assets into logical folder trees so nothing gets lost in a flat list - Faster navigation: Access specific folders directly instead of scrolling through large mixed lists - Scalable structure: Support complex setups with multiple levels of nesting - Consistent workflow: Use the same structure across Campaigns, Templates, and Sequences - Cleaner collaboration: Reduce duplicates and confusion by clearly defining where assets belong - Future-ready organization: Start simple and expand your structure as needed * * * ## Folder Hierarchy & Navigation Nested folders follow a simple hierarchy similar to a file system. Each folder can contain both assets and additional subfolders, allowing you to build structured layers as needed. Root level (Home) The starting point that shows all top-level folders and any unfiled assets. This level is best used for broad categories such as clients, brands, or lifecycle stages. Subfolders Folders created inside another folder to represent more specific groupings (e.g., Client A → Campaigns → Product Launches → 2026 Q1). Folder path (breadcrumb) Displays your current location (e.g., Home / Client A / Campaigns / 2026) and allows quick navigation back to any parent folder. * * * ## Nested Folders in Campaigns Using nested folders for Campaigns helps organize one-time sends, recurring newsletters, and promotional campaigns in a structured way.
