}Setting up a Campaign
Create a triggered campaign using the event ‘access_cancellation’.
Set the condition “Skip Global Inclusion Segment Check” to “Yes”.
Select the associated template for your campaign. A sample email called 'FOR_COPY_SAMPLE AMB Cancellation' is available in your Blueshift Production instance.
If one campaign is used for setting up mailing for multiple publications, set the condition “User can be in the campaign journey” to “Multiple times concurrently”. This will allow you to send an email to a customer who cancels multiple subscriptions.
Reporting
The event name in the payload will be passed in the mailing activity events. This will be available in the reporting platform for filters.
Things to Consider When Planning your Migration and/or Setup
Please follow the Transition Guidelines shared by the MarTech team during your Migration Planning workshop.
If you have an existing Message Central Access Cancellation workflow on Advantage, your new Blueshift workflow has already been set up on Advantage and is ready to send events.
If you never had an Access Cancellation workflow on Advantage, there is no longer a need to share the new campaign ID with the Advantage team during initial set up. The same event category can be used for multiple campaigns, segments, etc. without Advantage configuration support.
The Access Cancellation workflow will account for all owning orgs associated with your Blueshift instance. Please note: additions of new owning orgs must be reported to the MarTech team so it can be added to your Blueshift instance.
Wrap up
You should now have a better understanding of Auto Cancellation Emails for an Access (AMB) service in Blueshift.
