Adobe Exam AD0-E555 Topic 1 Question 34 Discussion

Smart Campaigns are the engine of Adobe Marketo Engage that allow you to automate tasks and actions based on different criteria and triggers.

There are three types of Smart Campaigns in Adobe Marketo Engage: Trigger, Batch, and Recurring.

ATriggerSmart Campaign is a type of Smart Campaign that is listening for and automatically responding to a person's actions. For example, you can create a Trigger Smart Campaign that sends an email to a person who fills out a form, or adds a person to a list when they click a link, or updates a person's score when they visit a web page. A Trigger Smart Campaign has one or more triggers in its Smart List that define the actions that will activate the campaign. A Trigger Smart Campaign runs in real time and executes the flow steps immediately for each person who qualifies.

ABatchSmart Campaign is a type of Smart Campaign that runs once or on a specific date and time for a group of people who meet certain criteria. For example, you can create a Batch Smart Campaign that sends a newsletter to a segment of people, or cleans up your database by deleting inactive people, or changes the status of people who attended a webinar. A Batch Smart Campaign has one or more filters in its Smart List that define the criteria that people must match to qualify for the campaign. A Batch Smart Campaign runs at the scheduled time and executes the flow steps for all the qualified people at once.

ARecurringSmart Campaign is a type of Smart Campaign that runs on a regular basis for a group of people who meet certain criteria. For example, you can create a Recurring Smart Campaign that sends a birthday email to people on their birthday, or syncs people to Salesforce every day, or updates the lead source of people who come from a specific channel. A Recurring Smart Campaign has one or more filters in its Smart List that define the criteria that people must match to qualify for the campaign. A Recurring Smart Campaign runs at the specified frequency and executes the flow steps for all the qualified people each time it runs.Reference:
