Mailing Action Codes

The Mailing Action Codes feature allows you to assign one or more identifying codes to profiles; these codes may then be used to identify the profiles when you wish to create various mailing lists or reports for other purposes. (The Profile screen Mail Action field is used to assign mailing action codes to profiles.)  

For example, if you flag certain profiles with a "New Years" mailing action code, you may later use the Data Extraction feature to find all profiles having the New Years action code assigned, and create a mailing list for a New Years Eve direct mail or email promotion.

Select System Configuration>Profile>Mailing Action Code to configure mailing action codes. The Action Codes screen appears.
