Sending E-mail in Marketing Campaign

Hi
We have a requirement where we need to send E-mails to all 'Employee responsible' of customers in Campaigns.
However at present system is having a field called 'E-mail address' field which will get the e-mail address from SPRO
like below..
SAP Implementation Guide > Customer Relationship Management > Marketing > Marketing Planning and Campaign Management > Personalized Mail > Maintain Sender Addresses for E-Mail
Functional consultant will maintain an E-mail address(only one) here.However now the requirment is I should write a code such way that it should neglect this E-mail id and instead of this it should send the mail to all the 'Employee responsible' of customers in that Campaign.
So could you please let me know the place (class or BADI of Function Module) in the SAP code where it stores the above said mail id so that I can modify the internal table with the required E-mail id's by replacing existing email id.(I'll try to use Enhancement spots...)
Best Regards
Anil

Hi,
You can send out email for marketing campaign in many ways.
1.get the target group created using the BI infocube
2.get the target group created using infoset query
3.Import the business partner data directly from an external file (flat file).
I will suggest an easy way of doing it.
Login using Marketing professional Roles>workcenter>Marketing>Campaign>Create New campaign-->Create segment
>create profile set>create profile-->create target group
Note : when u create a campaign there will be a place where you can give the mailform name where the already created mail form name shuld be mainteined over ther, and the sender address too.
click the target group created and click on the option import business partner.
(pre req:the target email ids should be maintained as business partners in ur system whre you can maintain BPs email-id in the BP Transaction)
get the list of business partner ids downloaded in the flat file from BP table.
Import the list>start or schedule the camapign>you can run ur campaign for all the BPs .
or manually enter the BP ids in the target group where the email address maintained for those BPs will be the target ids for your campaign.
give a try.Let me know if you have any queries.

Surveys in Marketing Campaigns

Hi All
When we send out surveys in Marketing Campaigns, we can insert tracking for tracking responses.
How can we just track that how many BPs opened the survey. Means they clicked on the link ...irrespective of how many did actually respond. Just the BPs who clicked and opened the email.
How to track it and which table to see for the enteries.
Please help
Thanks and Regards

Hello Joost,
the only thing I know is the following:
If you want to classify responses that you capture when executing campaigns, an administrator can create response options that can be assigned to campaigns. A response option can have a positive, negative, or neutral classification.
With the classification you can select, for example, all positive activities in reporting.
When a campaign is assigned to an activity, there’s a check, whether response options are assigned to this campaign.
If there is a default response option, this default will be shown in the newly created activity. You can change the response to another option assigned to the campaign afterwards.
Note: Currently there is reporting and user interface selection based on the response option. For leads and
opportunities we assume to have already a positive feedback. Otherwise we would not have such an object.
Response options can only live with a campaign. When you set a response option to Obsolete, you will not see it anymore in the value help and you can't assign it to campaigns.

Can you filter a custom report by postcode? I want to send an email marketing campaign to customers

Can you filter a custom report by postcode? I want to send an email marketing campaign to customers within a postcode range. How do you do this? Thanks.

Hey RP in Oz,
You can run a contacts report and select 'Default Address Type' as an 'Address Details Field' which will include the zip code a customer has inputted. You can then export the report, open it up in Excel (or similar) and filter based on the postcode. Once you have modified the list in excel, formatted it correctly and are satisfied, you can then import the report as a mailing list via E-Mail Marketing > Mailing Lists.

Thanx in Advance
Saravana

Hi Saravana,
For your first question:e-mails ending in error -
1. Check the communication method used for sending e-mails in the channel settings in your campaign.
2. Check the scot configuration as whether the host assigned to the SMTP service is public i.e whether can you send the e-mails outside your network.To test this you can do channel test for the e-mail form you created for campaign. If the e-mails are not going out then check with your basis or system admin for the correct ip.
3. Check what is the error on sost.
4. Finally check the address in the BP for e-mail.

Campaign automation sender e-mail

hi experts,
I have done the following,
In the CA UI page,
1) under the Channels tab, I select Channel as E-mail but as for the "Sender E-mail" field, the number of words i want to type in seem to be limited, thus resulting in me not being able to type in the e-mail address for the sender. Why is this so?
2) Let's say the Campaign Element here is for "Survey Registration Mail", how will i define the TGs for it? I am supposing that it is supposed to be done by the client themselves? am i right?

Hi Noobie,
The sender email address has to be maintained at
IMGmp and cmpersonalized mail--maintain sender email address, here you to maintain the sender address and enter in the channel tab, then it will take full email address of the sender.
You no need to define TG separetly for survey registation mail, according to ur client requirement, who are the customer they want to contact, create them as TG, and assign it to the particular campaign element where your survery registration mail is attached.
once after G0-Live of the project, TG are created by end users only depending on their requirment.

The E-mail campaign won't send E-mails to the E-mail addresses

Hullo,
I need help here please, I have the E-mail addresses of the target group specified, yet when I start the campaign I don't receive any E-mails by the campaign neither in the Workplace in SAP GUI nor in the E-mail Addresses specified for the target group. What's the solution for this please?

Hi Alhussien
Are you tinkering around with this requirement or do you have a true business need. If there is a proper business requirement here then ensure you follow the correct actions to deliver it.
First steps are to speak with your basis team as I've mentioned already. SAP functionality typically requires coordinated effort, if you want fully functioning outbound email to work then you'll need an mail server connection established.
As for your other question. This belongs in a separate post.

Interactive Reports for Marketing Campaigns using HANA

Dear Experts,
We are Implementing Interactive Reports for Marketing Campaigns using HANA Hence, I request you all to help with the Config Steps / any documents that help.
Your Help is really appreciated.
Thanks In advance

David,
There are several drawbacks with the standard functionality that you will encounter:
- SAPconnect only supports HTTP url posting or RFC destination setup (which means you need a third party server program)
- The mail forms do not impose a limitation on the length of messages
- Target groups do not check if the person has a mobile number.
If you look at SMS gateway providers they normally allow use via web service or SMPP. If you plan on doing "bulk" campaigns where you will generate multi-thousand messages a month then you need to use one of these options. SMPP is a binary protocol that is way too complicated for a business application to implement. So web services is your best bet.
If we used mostly standard CRM functionaliy we would do the following for SMS:
- Use the segment builder to handle our target groups
- Use the personalized mail functionality
- Use the open channel exits for segment execution to handle the communication to SMS gateway.
Now keep in mind that for SMS campaigns this is going to be cubersome, and not going to provide all the mobile marketing functionality you need. It still appears that even for CRM 52/2007 that mobile marketing is not really fully addressed in the solution with several major gaps.
We ended up going down a custom route, because the segment builder was not-user friendly and unstable in CRM 40 and the mail form technology did not meet our needs for sending messages and creating template based scenarios. We still make use of the CRM business partner master for the distribution.
If you have any further questions on doing SMS campaigns with CRM, please let me know. This is one area where I have spent some extensive research. If you are looking for SMS gateway providers in the US, I can also provide some names based on our previous research.
Thank you,
Stephen

Customizing for Distribution for Tab 'Costs' on Marketing Campaigns

- Hi, Experts !
    Hope you guys can support me on that:
    It´s regarding the customizing for 'Distribution' so we can distribute the key figures for the marketing campaign directly in the marketing planner, inside the Tab 'Costs' of the Campaign.
    I´m not sure on how to proceed on doing this customizing; I´m on CRM 5.0 SP05 and as I open the tab 'Costs', create and transfer distribution information I´ve selected, the system was supposed to open the grid lines bellow on the screen - but it does not happen - I think it´s something missing on this customizing.
- Could anybody send me details on how to do that ?
     Thanks in advance,

- Hi, Amit !
    Yes, I´ve maintained a Planning Profile...as I select it, it comes up the Tab 'Costs' and then I select 'Create' and enter with product and partner data and then select 'Transfer', but then nothing happens...
       I think that most of the customizing is done but something inside IMG inside SEM (CRM fields / data map) is missed.
        Do you have any idea of what must be done in this transactions ?
        Thanks in advance,

Marketing Campaigns using SMS

Hi,
Has anyone ever configured CRM to use SMS for Marketing campaigns?
Is there any useful documentation on it?

Response options in Marketing Campaigns

Hi everyone,
I'm trying to demystify the Response Options in the Marketing area.
I'm wondering, how can we use these Response Options?
If I create a direct e-mail campaign I can add Response Options to the Campaign. Nice.
But what can I do with these Response Options?
How can I add these Response Options to the email template I'm sending out (e.g. I want to send out an invite email with two response options, "Yes I will attend", "No, I will not attend" --> How can I actually "ask" the question to my target group in the email template?)
Maybe the Response Options are not used in Direct e-mail campaigns?
To be short, has anyone worked with the Response Options yet in marketing campaigns and can tell me how to actually use them :-)
Many thanks in advance!

Sending e-mails to multiple users at a time

Hi!
I am using weblogic portal 7.0 for personalization. I am using campaign based e-mails for targetting specific customers. I am able to send e-mail through weblogic portal for users when the user logs in. How can I send group e-mails for a specific campaign. For example, if I have to send "virus alert" campaign mail for all our registered customer. I don't want any batch file to be written for this purpose.
I would really appreciate your help.
Thanks

Hi Deepak,
The favorites are placed in the "userhome" repository. Take a look at KM Content -> userhome -> for each username -> Favorites, there you'll find links with the favorites. You can simply copy & paste those to the other users, so you don't have to login with each one.

Hi Harish,
First, if you are send marketing documents as an E-mail, you should define
the correct path for the attachments folder under Administration -> System Initialization -> General settings -> Path
For second error, the user sending e-mail has to be defined e-mail address
under Adminstration -> Setup -> General -> Users

Android app - tracking installations from marketing campaigns

Hello,
we need to track efficiency of our marketing campaigns. Now we see CTR, but that's all. We really would like to use Google Analytics connection with Google Play, but seems, that without implementing of Google Analytics SDK it's not possible. Or did someone succeeded at least with registering downloads numbers per campaign?
Android Native Application Tracking Overview - Google Analytics — Google Developers
BTW, support for this would be great as well

Hi Geordie,
The best way to do this is to compose your HTML page and post it to the public internet. Make sure your images have an absolute path (important). Browse the page with IE, Select All, Copy and Paste into the email or template. You will find that the email
template editor is poor at rendering complex HTML. You will find difficulty in sending good HTML emails from CRM without assistance - it will be sent Base64 encoded and as a badly formed fragment. (check out
www.vizola.com/vem for more info)
For most customers having a subject line token is not an option, so you're relying on CRM's intelligent matching. If you're sending a campaign you should be using the email router and sending from a queue, not sending via Outlook. If you want to 'hide'
the tracking token you're into writing email router handler overrides for sending and receiving to move it to an X-Header or similar - not trivial! Vem has it's own tracking token mechanism that is much more robust and can detect and correlate bounces from
email servers and raise appropriate campaign responses of type Error.
CRM will (should) create campaign responses (Interested) in response to any reply provided you've opened incoming emails support. Add Vem and you get monitored opens and click-throughs and much more, like personalisation of emails...
You can send individual emails from workflow but don't think you can send acampaign. Vem offers scheduled campaigns - you set the marketing list, template and scheduled datetime and it does the rest using custom workflow activity.
You are facing the same challenges as most when looking to use CRM for eMarketing.
Best regards,
Chris

My Android 4 will not send e-mails

For whatever reason my Android 4 by Motorola will not send e-mails from the phone. It receives them just fine. I'm trying to send using a hotmail account. I've verified correct password, I have done a factory-default re-install several times, but same thing. Just won't send the e-mails out. Not even seeing it in my outbox so it seems as though when I click on "Post" and I get the little thing saying "sending e-mail" it's not doing anything.
Any thoughts?
Thanks

It's a known issue with Hotmail, Yahoo and MSN mail. It's not the device, the way to make sure your email is working is to actually downloading the Hotmail application from the market. This is the case for all makes of smartphones not just Droid 4. Hope this helps!
