The recipes feature streamlines the creation of common campaigns by automatically generating the necessary segments, filters, behaviors, and campaign structure. The user only needs to customize the campaign's settings and touchpoint content. 

Configure a campaign

If you are using one of our out-of-the-box e-commerce integrations, various popular campaigns can be generated via a recipe. If you aren't utilizing one of the out-of-the-box solutions, then these same campaigns will need to be created from scratch.  

Use a recipe

To create and send a campaign using a recipe:

• Navigate to Campaigns.
• In the upper left, click Create New Campaign.
• Select the Behavioral or Transactional option from the prompt. The transactional option will not appear if you do not subscribe to the transactional email add-on. 
• Select an available recipe if integrated with a compatible third-party app.
• Configure the campaign's Enrollment settings and touchpoints. Changes to the enrollment settings are not required; however, you must customize the touchpoints. This customization includes each touchpoint's design, content, and sender profile. 
• Save the changes and Go Live when ready. 

Create from scratch
