Working with ÃÛ¶¹ÊÓƵ Campaign 6.1 and ÃÛ¶¹ÊÓƵ Campaign Standard working-with-adobe-campaign-and-adobe-campaign-standard
You can create email content in AEM and process it in ÃÛ¶¹ÊÓƵ Campaign emails. To do that, you must:
- Create a newsletter in AEM from an ÃÛ¶¹ÊÓƵ Campaign-specific template.
- Select an ÃÛ¶¹ÊÓƵ Campaign service before editing the content to access all the functionality.
- Edit the content.
- Validate the content.
Content can then be synched with a delivery in ÃÛ¶¹ÊÓƵ Campaign. Detailed instructions are described in this document.
Sending Email Content via ÃÛ¶¹ÊÓƵ Campaign sending-email-content-via-adobe-campaign
After you configure AEM and ÃÛ¶¹ÊÓƵ Campaign, you can create email delivery content directly in AEM and then process it in ÃÛ¶¹ÊÓƵ Campaign.
When you create ÃÛ¶¹ÊÓƵ Campaign content in AEM, you must link to an ÃÛ¶¹ÊÓƵ Campaign service before editing the content to access all the functionality.
There are two possible cases:
- Content can be synched with a delivery from ÃÛ¶¹ÊÓƵ Campaign. This lets you use AEM content in a delivery.
- (ÃÛ¶¹ÊÓƵ Campaign on premise only) The content can be sent directly to ÃÛ¶¹ÊÓƵ Campaign, which automatically generates a new email delivery. This mode has limitations.
Detailed instructions are described in this document.

Select one of the available templates specific to ÃÛ¶¹ÊÓƵ Campaign, then fill the general properties of the page. Three templates are available by default:
- ÃÛ¶¹ÊÓƵ Campaign Email (AC 6.1): lets you add content to a predefined template before sending it to ÃÛ¶¹ÊÓƵ Campaign 6.1 for delivery.
- ÃÛ¶¹ÊÓƵ Campaign Email (ACS): lets you add content to a predefined template before sending it to ÃÛ¶¹ÊÓƵ Campaign Standard for delivery.

Selecting the ÃÛ¶¹ÊÓƵ Campaign cloud service and template selecting-the-adobe-campaign-cloud-service-and-template
To integrate with ÃÛ¶¹ÊÓƵ Campaign, you need to add an ÃÛ¶¹ÊÓƵ Campaign cloud service to the page. Doing so provides you with access to personalization and other ÃÛ¶¹ÊÓƵ Campaign information.
In addition you may also need to select the ÃÛ¶¹ÊÓƵ Campaign template and change the subject and add plain text content for those users who will not view the email in HTML.
-
Select the Page tab in the sidekick, then select Page properties.
-
In the Cloud services tab in the pop-up window, select Add Service to add the ÃÛ¶¹ÊÓƵ Campaign service and click OK.
-
Select the configuration that matches your ÃÛ¶¹ÊÓƵ Campaign instance from the drop-down list, then click OK.
note note NOTE Be sure to click OK or Apply after adding the cloud service. This enables the ÃÛ¶¹ÊÓƵ Campaign tab to work properly. -
If you would like to apply a specific email delivery template (from ÃÛ¶¹ÊÓƵ Campaign), other than the default mail template, select Page properties again. In the ÃÛ¶¹ÊÓƵ Campaign tab, enter the email delivery template’s internal name in the related ÃÛ¶¹ÊÓƵ Campaign instance.
In ÃÛ¶¹ÊÓƵ Campaign Standard, the template is Delivery with AEM Content. In ÃÛ¶¹ÊÓƵ Campaign 6.1, the template is Email delivery with AEM content.
When you select the template, AEM automatically enables the ÃÛ¶¹ÊÓƵ Campaign Newsletter components.
Editing email content editing-email-content
You can edit email content in either the classic user interface or the touch-optimized user interface.
-
Enter the subject and the text version of the email by selecting Page properties > Email from the toolbox.

Edit email content by adding the elements you would like from those available in the sidekick. To do this, drag and drop them. Then double-click the element you want to edit.
For example, you can add text containing personalization fields.
See ÃÛ¶¹ÊÓƵ Campaign Components for a description of components available for ÃÛ¶¹ÊÓƵ Campaign newsletters/email campaigns.
Inserting personalization inserting-personalization
When editing your content, you can insert:
- ÃÛ¶¹ÊÓƵ Campaign context fields. These are fields that you can insert within your text that will adapt according to the recipient’s data (for example, first name, last name, or any data of the target dimension).
- ÃÛ¶¹ÊÓƵ Campaign personalization blocks. These are blocks of predefined content that are not related to the recipient’s data, such as a brand logo, or link to a mirror page.
See ÃÛ¶¹ÊÓƵ Campaign Components for a full description of the Campaign components.
- Only the fields of the ÃÛ¶¹ÊÓƵ Campaign Profiles targeting dimension are taken into account.
- When viewing Properties from Sites, you do not have access to the ÃÛ¶¹ÊÓƵ Campaign context fields. You can access those directly from the email while editing.
-
Insert a new Newsletter > Text & Personalization (Campaign) component.
-
Open the component by double-clicking it. The Edit window has a functionality that lets you insert the personalization elements.

Approving content in AEM approving-content-in-aem

This out-of-the-box workflow has two steps: revision then approval, or revision then rejection. Nevertheless, this workflow can be extended and adapted to a more complex process.
To approve content for ÃÛ¶¹ÊÓƵ Campaign, apply the workflow by selecting Workflow in the sidekick and selecting Approve for ÃÛ¶¹ÊÓƵ Campaign and click Start Workflow.
