Campaign setup
Marketing Studio should start from a clear goal, audience, offer, product scope, stock reality, launch window, channel list, and owner. Campaign drafts should not promise discounts, delivery timing, guarantees, or product availability that the store cannot honor.
Channel and approval review
Review provider status, DNS or sender health, scheduler state, approval policy, product availability, and legal or regulated claims before publishing. The Marketing Studio feature page explains the workspace, and the campaign tutorial shows the multi-channel flow.
After launch
Compare campaign output against orders, inventory, support load, unsubscribe or complaint signals, and any personalization experiments. Feed useful results back into future campaign briefs instead of treating each AI draft as isolated.
Owner and cadence
- Primary owner: operations lead for the affected workflow, watcher, agent, playbook, or custom tool.
- Review cadence: before first run, after failed runs, after provider changes, and during monthly automation review.
- Escalate when offer terms, deliverability, inventory, regulated claims, or campaign sends could affect customers at scale.
Production checklist
- Document campaign goal, audience, product scope, offer rules, inventory constraints, channels, approval owner, and launch window.
- Review provider health, deliverability, scheduler state, product availability, and customer promises before launch.
- Define trigger, owner, input data, output, approval requirement, retry behavior, failure notification, and kill switch before enabling automation.
- Start with read-only runs or staging examples until the team has reviewed successful traces and audit records.
Acceptance checks
- Campaign drafts do not make claims or offers that inventory, policy, or support teams cannot honor.
- Campaign performance and support signals are reviewed after launch before repeating the pattern.
- The workflow or agent has a named owner who can pause it and explain its last run.
- Failures produce enough audit, diagnostics, and notification context for another operator to respond.
Common mistakes
- Publishing campaign drafts before checking inventory, channel health, offer rules, and approval ownership.
- Turning a useful prompt into automation before defining trigger, owner, input scope, approval rule, and failure handling.
- Ignoring noisy alerts or failed runs until operators stop trusting the workflow surface.
