Use Journey Optimizer campaigns to deliver one-time content to a specific audience using various channels. When using journeys, actions are executed in sequence. With campaigns, actions are performed simultaneously, either immediately, or based on a specified schedule.
You can create two types of campaigns:
- Scheduled campaigns allow for simple ad-hoc batch communications for marketing use cases like promotional offers, engagement campaigns, announcements, legal notices, or policy updates.
