Marketing Campaigns¶
Campaign records in OroCRM are used to define general details of the marketing activity and monitor its flow and results.
You can include any amount of Email Campaigns and Tracking Website records into one Campaign and get the full picture to evaluate the campaign efficiency.
This article describes the ways to create, manage and view the Campaign records.
Create Campaign Records¶
- Go to Marketing → Campaigns page and click Create Campaign button in the top right corner to get to the Create Campaign form.
- Define settings of the campaign:
There are four mandatory fields that must be defined:
| Field | Description |
|---|---|
| Name* | Name used to refer to the campaign in the system. |
| Code* | Unique code of the campaign, used to generate its tracking settings. May contain only alphanumeric symbols, dashes, and underscores. |
| Report Scale* | Defines default time-scale of the events graph. The next larger scale is chosen if there are over 40 records |
| Owner* | Limits the list of users that can manage the campaign to users, whose roles allow managing campaigns of the owner (e.g. the owner, members of the same business unit, system administrator, etc.). |
Optional fields can be used to define such details as start and end dates of the campaign, its description and its budget.
Custom fields may be added, subject to specific business-needs.
Note
The default Sender Email and Name values are defined for all the emails generated in the system within different marketing campaigns by the corresponding configuration settings.
