Elements

Elements are the components that make up a marketing Campaign. A Campaign element can be one of a subset of components that create an interaction with contacts. For example, an email message, an online survey and an auction could all be added to a Campaign as elements.

You can either add an existing Component as an element or you can create a new component to add as an element.

Removing an element from a Campaign will not delete the Component.
