The Data Export File channel is used to generate a file to send to an external FTP location for subsequent processing. Engage+ provides features for targeting and audience selection, Campaign content management, scheduling, and file transfer capabilities to the external vendor.
Note: The functionality that was previously available in the "Call Center" and "Fulfillment" channels has now been consolidated under the "Data Export File" channel.
This topic describes all of the various configuration options available for Data Export File Campaigns. This topic assumes that you have already created the Campaign (see Campaigns for more details on how to create a new Campaign).
Campaign is organized into the following areas:
Triggers |
Audience |
Message |
Sending |
Responses |
Proofing |
Auditing |
Launching |
The Tool Ribbon at the top of the screen provides access to the following general Campaign settings.
Configure Campaign Metadata Engage+ offers the ability to tag Campaigns with custom Metadata fields and values. These Metadata fields allow you to create Filters that look for specific Metadata tags in them, or for use in reports, future Campaigns, or other tasks. You can also add Metadata fields to the Campaign content for personalization. To assign Metadata values to a Campaign

Marketers often need to divide their Campaign Audience into smaller segments, or cells. You might need to do this in order to test the effectiveness of a particular marketing message, or because you need to use a different sending method, or schedule, for the different cells.
Engage+ provides you with the ability to create complex, sophisticated ways of segmenting your Audience. The platform supports two different segmentation methods: "A / B Testing" and "Split Cells" (A / B Testing is available only for email Campaigns).
Split Cells allow you to divide your Campaign Audience into different receiving groups, with or without the use of a "remainder" Audience. With Split Cells, you can create a complex hierarchy of nested cells, each of which is designated with a unique code that can be used elsewhere in the platform, such as reports, exports, and Filters. You can enter these cells directly into the user interface, or import them from a spreadsheet. This segmentation method can be used for testing purposes, although that's not really its primary intent, as this method won't calculate a "winner" like A / B Testing does.
Note: Split Cells are available in all Channels, and for all Campaign types.
For more information on configuring Split Cells within your Data File Campaign, please see Split Cells.
