Integrated customer profile integrated-customer-profile
Profiles are centralized in a powerful cloud database. There are many possible mechanisms for acquiring profiles and building up this database: on-line collection via web forms, manual, or automatic import of text files, replication with company databases or other information systems. With Adobe Campaign, you can incorporate marketing history, purchase information, preferences, CRM data, and any relevant PII data in a consolidated view to analyze and take action.
In Adobe Campaign, recipients are the default profiles targeted for sending deliveries (emails, SMS, etc.). Thanks to the recipient data that are stored in the database, you will be able to filter the target that will receive any given delivery and to add personalization data in your delivery contents. Other types of profiles exist in the database. They are designed for different uses. For example, seed profiles are made to test your deliveries before they are sent to the final target.
Targeted segmentation targeted-segmentation

Workflows wf-gsv8
Adobe Campaign offers a comprehensive graphical environment that allows you to design complex processes including segmentation, campaign execution, file processing, etc. For example, you can use a workflow to download a file from a server, decompress it, and then import its records into the Adobe Campaign database.
A workflow can also involve users by assigning them tasks or having them approve performed tasks. This means you can assign a task to one or several users to work on content or specify targets, and approve proofs before sending the message.
Workflows can be used in different contexts, as for example:
- Targeting to manage audiences or send messages.
- Data management (ETL) to manipulate data.
- Importing data into Campaign database.
- Technical processes such as database cleanup, recovering tracking information, etc.
