About Campaign Builder
e-Dialog Campaign Builder™ provides a comprehensive campaign management solution that enables you to create and send highly relevant e-mails: easy configuration and set-up, powerful custom publishing tools, seamless audience selection, and superior proofing functionality.
Campaign Structure
Campaign Builder uses a three-tiered campaign structure:
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
- Cells
Cells are where e-mails are configured. Audiences, content, links, symbols, proofing, and deployment all happen within a cell. Each cell belongs to a single mailing and a single campaign.
Once a cell has been mailed, it cannot be modified and reused. Instead, create a clone (identical copy) of the cell, make modifications, and mail the new cell.
|
This three-tiered campaign structure allows you to:
- Organize and separate automated campaigns that have hundreds of mailings and cells
- Clone mailings and/or cells for ongoing campaigns
Process Overview
Although Campaign Builder offers flexibility in the campaign building process, you generally follow a step-by-step process that includes the following:
- Create a Campaign.
- Create Mailings within a Campaign.
- Create Cells within a Mailing.
You use the tabs in Campaign Builder to complete each of the following steps to create cells.
- Configure Cells. (Configuration Tab)
- Define the Target Audience for a cell. (Audience Tab))
- Create Content for a cell. (Content Tab)
- Modify Links and Set Up Reporting Options (Links Tab)
- Define Dynamic Content to Merge into a cell, including rules that specify what content to merge in what circumstances. (Symbols Tab)
- Create the Audience Export File, which is the data file that includes the list of e-mail recipients for a cell. (Export Tab)
- Proof the e-mails that include sample audience and merged content. In this step, you send live proofs of e-mails to internal and external proofers. (Proof Tab)
Send the Final e-mail. (Execute Tab)
