Classic Campaign – Selecting Additional Data Sources

Important: Effective June 2024, Responsys will not support Classic Campaign functionality. After the effective date, Campaign Designer will be the only Responsys tool for creating and sending targeted and personalized campaigns. Learn more about the Campaign Designer.

In this step, you can select additional data sources (supplemental data tables and profile extensions) to use for the campaign. What's this? Additional data sources are used to augment the essential data contained in the list, Proof List, and Seed List. You can select different data sources for the launch, proof list, and seed list.

Note: If you created a segment group that uses a profile extension table in addition to a list, you must select that profile extension table as an additional data source for the campaign. For more information, see Creating Segment Groups.

Before You Begin:

Before you can select additional data sources, you must:

• Select recipients
