Recurring Campaign

To create a recurring campaign, perform the following:

Step 1. Create Audience Filter

Step 2. Create Connect+ Dataflow

  • Navigate to Connect+ and create a Connect+ template using the Audience Reload from FTP template.
  • Engage updates the audience group within 15 minutes after the Connect+ dataflow runs.

Step 3. Create Campaign

  • Navigate to Engage and create a Broadcast Campaign.
  • Select the audience group created for this recurring campaign.
  • In the Schedule option, select Repeat Periodically. Define the following:
    • Campaign repeat schedule
    • Duration of recurring campaign message
    • Time to send the message. Schedule the message for at least four hours after the Connect+ dataflow updates the audience group.

Step 4. Monitor and Troubleshoot

  • Data flow logs: check processed count and errors.
  • Campaign dashboard: verify send counts and engagement.
  • For FTP issues, review the error folder.
  • If you see “Waiting for file,” confirm the file name and path.

Best Practices

  • Always use matching names for filters, files, data flows, and campaigns.
  • Build in a buffer (e.g., upload file 4 hours before campaign runtime).
  • Test with a small CSV of known user IDs before full launch.
  • Document all credentials and paths in a shared, secure location.
