A couple of tips:
Tip #1: Sketch out your campaign
Add all of the steps you wish to include in your Campaign first, and then go back and add all the details. This gives you a high-level view before you dig into the specifics.
Tip #2: Use Placeholders for templates
If you have not yet created a template you can use a placeholder instead. You can then return to the placeholder template in the Cloze Library to add your content at a later time. This is helpful when you are sketching out a campaign, but haven't yet created all of the content.
3.) Link it to the appropriate Anniversary Field
Once you have created the Campaign you can link it to the "Renewal Date" (or name of your choice) anniversary Custom Field.
Before you link the Campaign to the Anniversary Field, you must first enable an Anniversary Follow Up Template on the custom field (please see tip #2 below). Once the template is enabled you can link the Campaign to the custom field.
A few more tips:
Tip #1: Set when you want the campaign to start on the Custom Field.
The Campaign will start based on the reminder set on the Custom Field. In the example below the Campaign will trigger three months before the date set on the Lease Expiration field. Here are step-by-step instructions on how to created and edit an Anniversary Date custom field.
Tip #2: Make sure to enable a template for the Anniversary Custom Field.
Tip #3: Linking the Campaign to the Next Step
Select Anniversary.
Find the Anniversary custom field and then toggle on the anniversary that will trigger the campaign.
