Adobe Campaign Classic provides data management capabilities that allow you to import and export data. These operations can be performed using either workflows or generic imports and exports.

Workflows workflows

Workflows are a useful way to automate your import processes. Whether you import data from a local file or from a SFTP, they allow you to standardize your data management procedures.

With workflows, import and export operations can be repeated automatically according to a schedule, for example to automate data exchange between several information systems.
