Get started with processes and data management get-started-processes-data-management

Adobe Campaign offers a comprehensive graphical environment that allows you to design complex processes including segmentation, campaign execution, file processing, etc. For example, you can use a workflow to download a file from a server, decompress it, and then import its records into the Adobe Campaign database.

Workflows can be used in different contexts, as for example:

  • Targeting to manage audiences or send messages.
  • Data management (ETL) to manipulate data.
  • Importing data into Campaign database.
  • Technical processes such as database cleanup, recovering tracking information, etc.
IMPORTANT
Adobe recommends customers not to run more than 20 active workflows executions simultaneously, and to prioritize and spread out your workflow execution over time. For more on this, refer to the best practices provided in this page.

Workflow activities workflow-activities

With Execution activities, coordinate your workflow and its activities, while Channel activities let you combine Campaign Standard communication channels to create cross-channel workflows.

Finally, Data management activities allow you to manipulate data from your database.
