DAY 3 · SEPTEMBER 2, 2026

Create reusable review groups, collect clear decisions, protect approved revisions, and keep every sign-off accountable.

For many organizations, writing an email is only the first step. Legal needs to review the language. Leadership needs to approve the message. A candidate, committee, or client may need the final say. When that process lives across long email threads and chat messages, it becomes difficult to know who approved what—and whether the version scheduled to send is the version everyone actually reviewed.

Email Approvals gives campaigns a structured sign-off workflow inside Amplify Emails.

Build approval groups once, then reuse them

Create approval groups for the teams and situations your organization uses most often, such as Legal, Communications Leadership, or Fast Fundraising Review. Each group includes its approvers and its decision strategy.

Choose All when every approver must sign off, Majority when more than half must approve, or Single when one approval is enough. Then select the right group for each campaign instead of rebuilding the review process every time.

Make every response clear

Approvers can choose Approve, Deny, Request Changes, or leave the review Pending. Request Changes is treated as its own status, so feedback does not have to be forced into a denial.

For higher-control workflows, enable Block send if changes. A single Request Changes vote then keeps the campaign from sending until the issue has been resolved—even if the group’s approval strategy has otherwise been met.

Protect the version that was actually reviewed

Approval belongs to a specific campaign revision, not simply to the campaign name. If an approved email is edited, Nucleus opens a new revision and begins a fresh approval round.

This keeps teams from making a last-minute change after sign-off and accidentally sending copy that approvers never saw.

Governance does not have to become a bottleneck

Campaigns can be scheduled while a review is still underway. With autosend enabled, an email that receives approval before its scheduled time will send at that time without requiring someone to return and press another button.

If the scheduled time passes while approval is still open, the campaign is marked overdue so the missed window is visible instead of failing silently.

Keep a complete record of the decision

Email Approvals includes revision deadlines, overdue reminders, email notifications, proxy voting, and an audit trail for every vote. The record can include who voted, when the vote was recorded, notes, browser information, and IP address.

A staff member can also record a proxy vote when needed, with the reason and acting user preserved in the history. At any point, the campaign can be reverted to draft and pulled out of review.

Create a review process your whole team can trust

Email Approvals replaces scattered sign-offs with a clear campaign status, a visible vote sheet, and an approval record tied to the exact revision being sent.

Building highly targeted audience universes has traditionally required complex segmentation logic, layered filters, and technical expertise. For many organizations, creating the right audience meant spending hours manually configuring demographic criteria, engagement history, geographic data, and behavioral filters — often across massive datasets.

The new Nucleus AI Universe Builder changes that entirely.

Designed to simplify advanced audience creation, the AI Universe Builder allows users to create sophisticated targeting universes simply by describing the audience they want in plain English. Instead of navigating complicated filtering systems or writing advanced logic, users can now build powerful audience segments through natural conversation.

Build Audiences Using Natural Language

At the core of the AI Universe Builder is a conversational AI-powered interface that translates everyday requests into advanced targeting logic automatically.

Users can type prompts such as:

• High reliability voters age 56+
• Boomers based in the Northeast
• Inactive donors who attended an event last year
• Subscribers in key counties who engaged with recent emails

Behind the scenes, Nucleus converts these requests into structured segmentation rules, audience filters, and targeting logic in real time.

This means teams no longer need to understand SQL queries, complicated demographic structures, or deeply nested filter systems to build advanced audiences.

Faster Workflows, Smarter Segmentation

The AI Universe Builder was designed to help organizations move faster without sacrificing precision.

Key capabilities include:

• Conversational AI-powered universe creation
• Real-time filter generation and audience previews
• Automated demographic and voter targeting logic
• Guided prompts and smart suggestions
• Faster audience creation workflows
• Accessible advanced targeting for non-technical users
• Smarter segmentation across large datasets and CRM records

By reducing manual setup time and simplifying the segmentation process, teams can focus more on strategy, outreach, and activation rather than operational complexity.

Built for Campaigns, Advocacy, and Nonprofit Teams

For political campaigns, advocacy organizations, nonprofits, and membership-driven teams, audience targeting is critical — but often time-consuming.

The AI Universe Builder enables organizations to identify and activate highly specific audiences in seconds instead of spending hours manually configuring filters and targeting logic.

Whether teams are trying to re-engage inactive supporters, identify key voter groups, or build segmented outreach campaigns, the tool makes advanced targeting significantly more accessible across the organization.

Making Advanced Data Operations More Accessible

The launch of the AI Universe Builder represents another major step forward in Nucleus’ mission to make advanced data operations more intelligent, accessible, and actionable.

By combining AI-driven conversation with sophisticated backend targeting logic, organizations can now unlock enterprise-level segmentation capabilities without requiring deep technical expertise.

We know data is an important part of any campaign or organization and can be difficult and tedious to compile. That is why we have made it fast and painless to pull reports from modules in Nucleus, such as emails, press releases, events, and more. View standard reports from these modules within your specified time frame in seconds to monitor performance.

• VIP Custom Fields

At Nucleus, we take pride in creating detailed features that function for all your needs. That's why we have created 'VIP custom fields' in event settings, which allow users to ask specific fields in the event VIP sign-up portal. For example, use these fields to ask for occupations, referrals, special requests, and more!

• Email Builder UI Update

Emails are essential for successful operations and engaging your supporters and subscribers. That's why we are diligently upgrading our email module. Check out our new UI upgrade while building an email campaign to experience a smoother, more informative interface with new reminders, warnings, resource recommendations, and more.
