Adding an Activity

The Activities screen enables you to manage and record activities. Customer activities include system-generated entries (such as sending an email, purchasing a product, and renewing a membership) and user-defined entries (such as making a phone call, writing a letter, and sending a thank you note).

 

As of 7.4.1SP1, the checkbox filters on this screen have been replaced by two tabs:

·            Activities Owned By This Constituent
Displays all system activities in which the MASTER_CUSTOMER_ID of the CUS_Activity record matches that of the customer you are viewing.

10.  If the activity created was an email communication, click View Email to open the associated email. If you have integrated Personify with Outlook, the email will open in Outlook. If not, the email will open the Send E-Mail (APP140) screen.

Note.pngAs of 7.4.1SP1, if the system activity is an email sent via MKT800, the Marketing Email Message window displays, as shown below. This window displays the email template used when the blast email was sent. Please note that if any columns were used in the email template, the customer data will NOT display in this window, as only the template is being displayed, not the actual email sent to the customer. Keep in mind that this window will always display the latest version of the email message template. Therefore, it is recommended that you do not update email message templates; instead, create a new email message template. For more information, please see Defining Email Marketing Messages.
