Core concepts ac-core-concepts

Before starting implementing marketing campaigns, you need to be familiar with the following concepts:

  • Marketing campaign: a campaign centralizes all the elements related to a marketing campaign: deliveries, targeting rules, costs, export files, related documents, etc. Each campaign is attached to a program.

  • Program: a program lets you define marketing actions for a calendar period: launch, canvassing, loyalty, etc. Each program contains campaigns linked to a calendar, which provides an overall view.

  • Plan: the marketing plan can contain multiple programs. It is linked to a calendar period, has an allocated budget and can also be linked up to documents and objectives.

  • Campaign workflow: a campaign workflow contains activities to build the campaign logic. Use campaign workflows to define audiences and create deliveries for all available channels.

  • Recurring campaigns: recurring campaigns are created from a specific template defining the workflow template to be executed and the execution schedule.

  • Periodic campaigns: a periodic campaign is a campaign created automatically according to the execution schedule of its template.
