Hey there,

I ran this by the online support, but they couldn't come up with an
answer. I want to find out the Campaign ID of a newly created
campaign, using the online GUI interface.

I can find this out via an API, but wondering whether I could find
this online. This is the hex value, something like 'ae2faf2def'.

Any way to look at a campaign, via the online admin interface, and
determine the Campaign ID?

Not in a real straightforward way. The easiest I can think of is to
load the popup preview and look for one of the generated links - like
from the *|ARCHIVE|* or *|UNSUB|* tags, and then copy the XXX part of
the &id=XXX parameter in them.

I'd guess that if you have a need for that for some reason, you
probably should instead be designing a template in the web ui and then
using that when creating your campaigns.

It's easy, but not easy to find :). 

Go to the Campaigns menu, mouse over a campaign and click on "View Email". Then click on "View Live Merge Info".
Go to the bottom of the html page and copy the link url of the unsubscribe one. You will notice something like c=f39c2940f1 - which is the campaign id. The id=xxxxxxxx is actually the list id, not the campaign one.

Cheers,
