What is a Campaign?
A Campaign is a coordinated series of challenges with a theme or focus that is designed to achieve one or more core success metrics. Campaigns provide a holistic view of experiences, challenges, stages, and targeting. All campaigns in Influitive are located under the Campaigns tab.
What is Campaign Manager?
The Campaign Manager allows admins to customize, find the status and performance of a campaign - all in one place from a dedicated interface in the Campaigns tab. Friction points in customizing and publishing a campaign are greatly reduced as the Campaign Manager visualizes the entire campaign, presenting only the fields that need to be edited, and enabling targeting of the campaign in a single step! The entire campaign can be published with one click. The marketer saves a lot of time with our Campaign manager as they avoid manually building out challenges that align with the success strategy of their Influitive.
Overview of the Campaigns tab
Start off by clicking into the Campaigns tab shown below. You'll then be directed to a view similar to below:
From this page you can see three tabs: In my hub, Store, and Completed. If you don't see the Completed tab, no worries, you just don't have a campaign in the expired state to populate that tab yet. As soon as one of your published campaigns expires, it will be put into the Completed tab.
Now we're going to go over the Store and In my hub tab in detail.
Setup a Campaign

There are 2 steps to set up a campaign:

Saving, Scheduling, and Publishing

Reporting on a Campaign
