The Campaign Factory dashboard serves as the administrative interface for initial configurations for Campaign Factory and Campaign Studio.
This page provides information about how to use the Campaign Factory dashboard to create:
- Campaign Factory accounts
- Campaign Studio instances
Note
Campaign Studio customers without a Campaign Factory subscription must complete the required configurations for creating a new Campaign Studio instance in the Campaign Factory dashboard but then do not need to return to Campaign Factory for continued marketing operations.
Campaign Factory is an add-on feature of Campaign Studio. Customers with a Campaign Factory subscription will continue to use it for ongoing marketing operations and management of multiple instances.
