Creating Automation Schedules for Workflow Campaigns

This task is a step in Process of Creating a Workflow Campaign Manually.

The automation schedule determines when each program within the campaign is scheduled to execute. Emails are sent to eligible contacts at the time you specify. Oracle CRM On Demand Marketing processes a daily campaign automation job which checks all automated (adaptive and workflow) campaigns to determine if action is necessary. It takes into account the automation schedule you define, contact eligibility, and any timing conditions specified in automations rules. If all conditions are met, it schedules emails to be sent at the next occurrence of the defined automation schedule.
