Build Your Message in Listrak
By designing campaigns in Listrak as saved messages, retailers can execute campaigns from directly within the Optimove application. Before proceeding with setting up a campaign in Optimove, be sure you have built a Saved Message in the Listrak application. A message subject and body are required for saved messages appear as templates in Optimove.
The messages that are chosen within Optimove will simply be a Saved Message inside Listrak. To learn more about building and saving messages, please review these additional help articles.
You can always return to a saved message to make changes to the content prior to scheduling a campaign within Optimove.
Setting up a Campaign in Optimove
Important Note: You may have only have one Optimove account connected to a Listrak list at a time.
The actual campaign is configured within Optimove using their campaign setup process. The basic process should be familiar, but includes the definition of a recipient audience, the marketing channel (Listrak), a message template and delivery options.
First, configure Initial Detail by selecting a target group and start date. Once you have defined the Actions to Run, select Listrak from the Channel list under Execution Details. Once you have selected Listrak, you will be able to choose a Template, which will be the list of saved messages on the configured Listrak list for the Optimove integration.
Once you have scheduled a campaign, Listrak will be notified via API and scheduled for delivery from Listrak servers.
Reporting and Analytics
Following the delivery of a campaign, Listrak will push message activity metrics to Optimove via the API for analysis and reporting within the Optimove platform. The metrics will be pushed daily for the 7 days following the completion of a campaign. Please visit the Optimove Academy for more information on reporting capabilities within the Optimove platform.
