Manage Campaigns

Campaign Overview

The campaign overview will show you many details of your campaign including the number of contacts which have been added to a campaign, the number of emails sent, and the number of page views resulting from the campaign.

Additional information includes a quick overview of what decisions and actions are available on a campaign, as well as a grid layout overview of all the contacts on a campaign.

As with many of the other overview screens you can view the recent activity taken place on the campaign.

Basic Campaign Creation

Creating campaigns is an easy process which involves picking a name, creating a description, and defining the segments to associate with the campaign. These campaigns can then be assigned a category and defined publishing information. All of these are rather standard aspects of a new campaign creation.

Note: The segment selection will only show public segments. This means any segments created by individuals within the company marked as private will not be available for campaigns.

Advanced Campaign Creation

The basics of campaign creation are handled easily by the initial screen but the finer details of building a campaign occur within the campaign builder. This might be considered advanced campaign creation but every campaign does need to use the campaign builder.

Executing Campaign Actions

Executing starting actions for contacts newly added to the campaign, scheduled actions and the actions on the "non-action" decision paths, must be triggered by the system. To do so, create a cron job that executes the following command at the desired interval:

php /path/to/mautic/app/console mautic:campaigns:trigger --env=prod

If you want to execute the command at different intervals for specific campaigns, you can pass the --campaign-id=ID argument to the command.

Building Campaign Contacts

Batch adding/removing contacts for campaigns is done by using the following command:

php /path/to/mautic/app/console mautic:campaigns:update --env=prod
