Automating the process of naming Sub-Campaigns by adding the Set Naming Convention action eliminates the manual effort of users in naming the Sub-Campaign. This saves a lot of time for the users. Having a standard naming convention simplifies the identification and maintenance of a multitude of Sub-Campaigns. Once the rule is enabled, all the sub-campaigns satisfying the condition will have the selected actions initiated on it.

An example Use case is shown below: A naming convention is implemented on the sub-campaigns that have the parent campaign - Evergreen

How to set up

1. Click the New Tab icon. Under Governance, click Manage Rules within Platform Setup.

2. In the top right corner of the Rule Engine window, click Create New Rule. For more information, see Create New Rule.

3. On the New Rule window, fill in the required details. Make sure you select Sub-Campaign from the Context dropdown.

5. On the Rule Builder window, select Add Condition to set up specific scenarios that must be met for subsequent actions to execute. You can also chain multiple conditions together to refine the scenarios.

6. In this example, we are using the condition as Parent Campaign = Evergreen, under the section “Conditions Applies to the Properties of the Sub-Campaign”.

7. To configure actions in a rule, select Add Action on the Yes or a No branch of the condition depending on when you want the action to be executed.

8. To define the naming convention, select Set Naming Convention from the Action dropdown under the subsection to "Actions which are applicable for Campaign". Then select a suitable Separator from the adjacent dropdown.

9. Finally, Click Add Details to select system and custom properties to define the naming convention from the dropdown menu.
