hey, I’d like to know how do you usually send stuff like newsletters. Is it all through campaign or through channels\>emails?  
Because in case of sending through Channels\>Emails there is no option to assign a tag in case user opened the email.  
Or should I use only campaigns? Searched for a couple videos on youtube but this doubt still persist. Not really a support question so hope it’s ok to post in General Discussion.

Thanks in advance.

These are 2 different features.

Thanks Jozsef, watched the whole video and gave my like (57th! heh).  
The description between template and segment is crystal clear. I should use segment email for newsletter but then, how do I tag who opened emails in my newsletters? The only way I do know is through campaign. If that’s the case I should have one campaign for each newsletter?

Thanks
