Overview overview
Adobe Campaign Managed Cloud Services provides a platform for designing cross-channel customer experiences and an environment for visual campaign orchestration, real-time interaction management and cross channel execution. Get Started with Campaign
Use Campaign to:
- Drive personalization and engagement through a single accessible view of the customer,
- Integrate email, mobile, online and offline channels into the customer journey,
- Automate the delivery of meaningful and timely messages and offers.
- A maximum of 50 segments can be activated for the destination,
- For each segment, you can add up to 20 fields to map to Adobe Campaign,
- Data retention on Azure Blob storage Data Landing Zone (DLZ) : 7 day,
- The activation frequency is 3 hours minimum.
- The maximum file name length supported by this connection is 255 characters. When you configure the exported file name, make sure the file name does not exceed 255 characters. Exceeding the maximum file name length results in activation errors.
Use cases use-cases
To help you better understand how and when you should use the Adobe Campaign Manage Service destination, here is a sample use case that Adobe Experience Platform customers can solve by using this destination.
-
Adobe Experience Platform creates a customer profile that incorporates information like the identity graph, behavioral data from analytics, merges offline and online data etc. With this integration, you can augment the segmentation capabilities that are already existing within Adobe Campaign with those Adobe Experience Platform powered audiences, and you can hence activate that data in Campaign.
For example, a sports attire company wants to leverage the Adobe Experience Platform powered smart segments and activate them using Adobe Campaign to reach out to their customer base across the different channels supported by Adobe Campaign. Once the messages are sent, they want to enhance the customer profile in Adobe Experience platform with experience data from Adobe Campaign such as sends, open and clicks.
The result is cross channel campaigns that are more consistent across the Adobe Experience cloud ecosystem and a rich customer profile that is quickly adapting and learning.
-
In addition to segment activation in Campaign, you can leverage the Adobe Campaign Managed Services destination to bring in additional profile attributes which are tied to a profile on Adobe Experience Platform and have a sync process in place so that they are updated in the Adobe Campaign database.
For example, let’s say you are capturing opt-in and opt-out values in Adobe Experience Platform. With this connection, you can bring over these values into Adobe Campaign and have a sync process in place so that they are updated on a regular basis.
note note NOTE Profile attributes sync is available for profiles that are already present in the Adobe Campaign database.

-
Select source fields:
-
Select an identifier (For example: the email field) as source identity that uniquely identifies a profile in Adobe Experience Platform and Adobe Campaign.
-
Select all other XDM source profile attributes that need to be exported to Adobe Campaign.
note note NOTE The “segmentMembershipStatus” field is a required mapping to reflect segmentMembership status. This field is added by default and cannot be modified or removed. -
-
Map each field with its target field in Adobe Campaign. Available target fields are determined by the target mapping selected when creating the destination.
-
Identify mandatory attributes and deduplication keys. Note that values in attributes marked as “Mandatory” or “Deduplication key” cannot be null.
-
Mandatory attributes ensure that all profile records contain the selected attribute(s). For example: all exported profiles contain an email address. Recommendation is to set to mandatory both the identity field and the field used as deduplication key.
-
A deduplication key is a primary key which determines the identity by which users want their profiles to be deduplicated.
note important IMPORTANT Make sure that the deduplication key attribute’s name matches a column name of the selected target mapping.
