Change dimension

Last update: April 17, 2025

The Change dimension activity is a Targeting activity. This activity allows you to change the targeting dimension as you are building your workflow. It shifts the axis depending on the data template and the input dimension. Learn more about targeting dimensions.

For example, you can switch a workflow’s targeting dimension from “Recipients” to “Subscribers application” to send push notifications to the targeted recipients.

IMPORTANT
Please note that the Change Dimension and Change Data source activities should not be added in one row. If you need to use both activities consecutively, include an Enrichment activity in between them. This ensures proper execution and prevents potential conflicts or errors.

Configure the Change dimension activity

Follow these steps to configure the Change dimension activity:

  1. Add a Change dimension activity to your workflow.

  2. Define the New target dimension. During dimension change, all records are kept. Other options are not available yet.

  3. Execute the workflow to view the result. Compare the data in the tables before and after the Change dimension activity, and compare the structure of the workflow tables.

Example

In this example, send an SMS delivery to all the profiles who have made a purchase. First, use a Build audience activity linked to a custom “Purchase” targeting dimension to target all purchases that occurred.

Then, use a Change dimension activity to switch the workflow targeting dimension to “Recipients.” This allows targeting the recipients who match the query.
