Create a Salesforce Campaign

Walk-through the steps to create a new Salesforce Campaign with our interactive tutorial:

Campaign Member Statuses

Each Campaign Member (Lead/Contact that will be added to your Campaign) has a ‘Member Status’. Campaign Member Status, therefore, describes the level each individual has engaged with a Campaign (aka. the touchpoint).
