Systeme.io Dashboard Walkthrough 2026: Where Everything Is Located

Welcome to the ultimate guide to mastering the Systeme.io interface. If you have just signed up for this all-in-one marketing platform, you might be feeling a mix of excitement and confusion. Having a tool that handles email marketing, funnel building, course hosting, and automations is fantastic, but it also means there are a lot of buttons, tabs, and menus to navigate.

Whether you are a complete beginner launching your first lead magnet or an advanced user migrating from ClickFunnels or Kajabi, knowing exactly where everything is located is the key to efficiency. Time spent clicking around looking for “Custom Domains” or “Email Campaigns” is time taken away from growing your business.

In this walkthrough, we are going to dissect the dashboard menu by menu. By the end of this post, you will be able to navigate the platform with your eyes closed.

Getting Started: The Top Navigation Bar

The user interface of Systeme.io is renowned for being cleaner than many of its competitors. In 2026, the design remains minimalist, ensuring that you aren’t distracted by unnecessary clutter.

Everything starts at the Top Navigation Bar. This blue (or sometimes dark, depending on your theme settings) strip across the top of the screen is your compass. It is generally divided into the following main categories:

• Dashboard: Access to analytics and affiliate stats.
• Contacts: Where your leads live.
• Funnels: The page builder area.
• Emails: Marketing communication.
• Blogs: Website creation.
• Automations: Rules and workflows.
• Products/Sales: Creating courses, coupons, and viewing orders.
• Profile/Settings: The avatar icon on the far right.

Let’s break these down one by one.

The Dashboard Tab: Your Command Center

When you hover over the Dashboard link on the far left, you will typically see a dropdown menu with three distinct options. It is crucial to understand the difference between them so you don’t get your metrics mixed up.

1. Main Dashboard

This is the default view when you log in. It provides a snapshot of your business performance.

• Live Updates: You will see a graph showing new leads and sales over a specific time period (Last 30 days is standard).
• Live Stream: On the right (or below on mobile), there is a live feed of actions happening in real-time, such as “Someone subscribed to…” or “Someone purchased…”

2. Affiliate Dashboard

This is unique to Systeme.io. This dashboard tracks your earnings from promoting Systeme.io itself or other offers in the marketplace.

• Affiliate ID: Your unique link to promote the platform is located here.
• Stats: It shows clicks, leads sent, and commissions earned.
• Marketplace Offers: If you are an affiliate marketer, this is where you track your performance.

3. Student Dashboard

If you have purchased courses hosted on Systeme.io (or if you are testing your own courses), this is where you go to access the content. It acts as a learning portal.

Contacts: Managing Your Audience

Moving to the right, the next tab is Contacts. Unlike older email marketing platforms that use “Lists,” Systeme.io uses a Tag-based system.

The Contacts Tab

When you click here, you see a list of every email address in your database.

• Filters: On the left sidebar, you can filter contacts by email, first name, phone number, or most importantly, by Tags.
• Manual Actions: You can manually add a contact, import a CSV list, or select contacts to bulk delete or tag.

The Tags Sub-Menu

Under the Contacts dropdown, you will find Tags. This is where you create the labels for your audience.

• Best Practice: Create tags for everything. E.g., “Lead Magnet A Downloaded,” “Customer – Course B,” or “Newsletter Subscriber.”
• Organization: This section allows you to edit or delete tags, but you generally cannot “view” contacts here; you view contacts filtered by tags in the main Contacts screen.

Funnels: The Core of Your Business

This is where you will spend 80% of your time. The Funnels tab is the engine room.

The Funnel List

When you click this tab, you see a list of all your active and inactive funnels. You can see the status (Active/Inactive) and the number of steps in each.

Inside the Funnel Builder

Once you click on a specific funnel name, the dashboard changes completely.

1. Funnel Steps (Left Column): This shows the linear progression of your pages (e.g., Squeeze Page -> Thank You Page). You can drag and drop to reorder them.
2. Step Configuration (Center): Here you choose the URL path, the template, and access the “Edit Page” button (the magic wand icon).
3. Automation Rules (Tab): Within the funnel view, you can set specific rules for that page (e.g., “When someone visits this page, add a tag”).
4. A/B Test: Located near the save button, allowing you to split test headlines or designs.
5. Stats: A dedicated tab to see conversion rates specifically for that funnel.

Emails: Newsletters vs. Campaigns

Systeme.io splits email marketing into two distinct categories found under the Emails tab.

Newsletters

These are broadcasts. Use this for one-time announcements, weekly updates, or flash sales.

• The Dashboard: Shows a list of sent, scheduled, and draft emails.
• Stats: You can quickly see Open Rates and Click-Through Rates (CTR) here.

Campaigns

These are automated sequences (Drip campaigns).

• Structure: When you create a campaign (e.g., “Welcome Sequence”), you add emails inside it to go out on Day 0, Day 1, Day 3, etc.
• Visualizer: You can see the delay between emails and reorder them easily.

Statistics

The third option in the dropdown is generic email statistics, giving you a bird’s-eye view of your deliverability and spam reports across the whole account.

Blogs: Content Management Made Simple

If you want to run a traditional blog or a full website, the Blogs tab is your destination.

• The Blog Dashboard: Lists your websites.
• Post Management: Unlike funnels, blogs have a “Posts” section for articles and a “Pages” section for static content (About Us, Contact).
• Layout: You can edit the “Master Layout” (Header/Footer) here, which applies to all posts globally. This is different from the Funnel builder where headers are usually manual.

Automations: The Logic Engine

If you want to put your business on autopilot, you need to understand the Automations tab.

Rules

These are simple “If This, Then That” triggers.

• Example: Trigger: Tag added -> Action: Enroll in Course.
• Location: While you can access rules inside specific funnels, this tab shows you every rule active in your account, which is vital for troubleshooting.

Workflows

This is the visual builder for automations.

• The Canvas: It looks like a flow chart. You can create complex paths with delays and decisions (e.g., “Did they click the link? If Yes, send email A. If No, send email B”).
• Usage: Use workflows for complex customer journeys; use Rules for simple, instant actions.

Products & Sales: Monetizing Your Knowledge

This tab is the cash register. It handles everything related to transactions and product delivery.

1. Physical Products: If you ship goods, you manage inventory and SKUs here.
2. Coupons: Create discount codes (percentage or fixed amount) for your order forms.
3. Orders/Transactions: A log of who bought what and when. Useful for issuing refunds.
4. Courses: This is where you upload your video modules, create lectures, and organize the curriculum.
5. Communities: Systeme.io’s answer to Skool or Facebook Groups. You manage your forum members here.

Pro Tip: You do not create the checkout page here. You create the product here, but you sell it by adding an “Order Form” step inside the Funnels tab.

Settings: The Critical Setup Area

Finally, click your Profile Picture (or the generic avatar) in the top right to access Settings. Do not ignore this section!

• Profile Settings: Your name, address, and time zone.
• Account Settings: Where you upgrade your plan.
• Payment Gateways: Connect Stripe, PayPal, Razorpay, etc. You cannot sell without this!
• Mailing Settings: Crucial for 2026. This is where you set up your Sender Email Address and authenticate your domain (CNAME/DKIM records) to ensure your emails don’t go to spam.
• Custom Domains: Where you connect www.yourbrand.com instead of using the systeme.io subdomain.
• Affiliate Program Settings: If you want others to sell your product, you configure the commission percentage and payout terms here.

Feature Availability by Plan

Depending on your subscription, your dashboard might look slightly different—mostly in terms of limits. Here is a quick breakdown of what you can access:
