Creating Automatic Responses from Opportunities and Orders

When you create an opportunity in the All Contacts/Prospects view using the Create Opty button, Siebel Marketing and Siebel Campaigns create a response record using the Create Auto Response business service.

For opportunities, the response is created for each contact added to an opportunity after a campaign is associated as an opportunity source. To create the response, associate a campaign with the opportunity using the Source field MVG (multivalue group) and then add a contact to the opportunity. All responses default to a type of Created Opportunity.

For orders, the response is created whenever a campaign is associated with a sales order. To create the response, you associate a campaign with the Sales Order using the Campaign field. All responses default to a Type of Respondent Purchased.

Associating an Opportunity with a Campaign

To associate an opportunity with a campaign, you use the Source field on the Opportunity form to select the campaign name. Each opportunity can be associated with multiple sources, if appropriate, but only one can be designated as the primary source.

When this association is made, the opportunity appears under the Campaign Track Results tab in the Opportunities view with the Sourced from Marketing flag checked.

Associating an Order with a Campaign

To associate an order with a campaign, you use the Campaign field on the order form to select the campaign name.
