Autofill Rule

Updated 

Create Autofill Rules to pre-populate content in the publisher window based on the set conditions and is best used to apply properties as soon as a user opts to create a message. 

Autofill rules are applied to outbound messages, but unlike Outbound Rules which apply when a message is sent for publishing, Autofill rules are applied when a message is being composed. Autofill rules reduce the manual effort of applying properties in the publisher window individually, saving time and streamlining publishing workflows. To view the list of Rules, see Types of Rules.

Note:

Auto update Campaign standard fields across the platform such as Name, Start and End Date, etc. This ensures uniformity of campaign details across the platform saving time during campaign planning while eliminating manual efforts.
