Getting Started Guide
What’s Included in the Free Trial?
Our 30-day free trial account gives you access to all of our features (including premium features like Advanced Automations and Conditional Content), so you can comprehensively test Vision6 before committing to a monthly payment.
To get started we give you 250 free email sends, which you can use to send email messages to your contacts database or to send test emails to yourself or your colleagues.
All of our plans allow for unlimited seats/users at no additional cost. So you can invite as many teammates to your account as you like.
There are no payment details required to create a free trial account. All you need is an email address and a password to sign up. It’s that easy!
Invite Your Teammates
Once you’ve set up a free trial account, it’s time to start collaborating with your colleagues and really get the most out of Vision6. If you’re the first person in your organisation to use Vision6, invite a few trusted teammates to try it out with you and assign different access levels. This is much safer than sharing a single login or password.

Configure Your Domain
One of the great uncertainties in email marketing is whether your emails are actually being received by your contacts. You may find that your emails sometimes end up in the junk or spam folder. To reduce the risk of this happening, we highly recommend configuring your domain records.
To do this, you need to change some account settings with your DNS. This may mean reaching out to your IT team for assistance.
Switching to Vision6 From Another Provider
Switching to Vision6 from another platform is easy! We've created this handy how-to guide to assist you along the way. Learn how to migrate your contacts and email lists, create your email templates, set up your automations, add a subscription form to your website, and more.
Migrating from Mailchimp? We have a series of guides specifically for this.
Understanding Our Pricing Plans
Our pricing plans are based on the number of contacts (i.e. subscribers) in your account. The more contacts you have, the higher your payment will be. It's a monthly payment with no lock-in contracts, so you can cancel or pause your account at any time if you decide it's not for you.
We have 3 plans available offering different levels of support and access to different features: Starter, Business or Pro-Marketer. You can also change your plan at any time too.
Looking for an exact price for your approvals team or boss? We have a handy slider function on this page where you can type in the number of contacts you have, and the pricing will automatically adjust to match your needs.

New User FAQs
Q: What helpful pages should I bookmark as a new user of Vision6?
A: We suggest bookmarking the login page, our Support knowledgebase, the form to submit a support ticket, and our email design best practices article. If you’re interested in metrics and reporting, you might also like to bookmark our email marketing metrics report, which outlines open rate and click-through rate benchmarks by industry.
Q: Who should I talk to if I have questions?
A: If you need help getting started, you can contact our support team.
Q: Where can I learn more about your data storage and security?
A: The best place to start is our data security and compliance hub. Here you’ll find a list of all our accreditations, information on data sovereignty and application security, as well as data integrity and disaster recovery. We also have a Guide for IT & Security Administrators, which covers some of our most frequently asked questions about security. If you require further information, you can also request access to our SOC2 Assurance Report or Web App & API Penetration Test assurance reports.
Q: What should I start with first?
A: A good place to start is importing your contacts. After all, you can’t send an email or an SMS without any! After this, we’d suggest configuring your domain records, uploading your logo and brand assets to the Files & Images library, creating an email template with your logo and brand colours (so you don’t need to start from scratch every time), and inviting your colleagues to join the account.
