| 1 | **Action** is an activity that Smart Communications must perform on a [[customer profile>>doc:Main.Smart_Communications.SMC_Use.Customers.All_clients.WebHome||anchor="Profile"]] that has entered a [[campaign>>doc:Main.Smart_Communications.SMC_Use.Campaigns.WebHome]] (e.g., send an email, wait, apply a filter, add to a target audience, etc.). | ||
| 2 | |||
| 3 | As input, the **action** receives an array of customer profiles. As output, it returns an array of customer profiles for whom the **action** was performed. | ||

| 26 | |||
| 27 | Campaign actions can be **edited**, **copied**, or **deleted**. To do this, right-click the action and select the desired option from the context menu. | ||
| 28 | |||
| 29 | You can also copy actions using Ctrl+C/Ctrl+V. Select the desired action with the **right** mouse button and press Ctrl+C. The copied action can be pasted into the same campaign editor or into another editor opened in a new tab within the same browser. | ||

| 59 | ====== A/B test [[image:A_B_icon.png]] ====== | ||
| 60 | )))|(% style="width:1021px" %)((( | ||
| 61 | Allows you to conduct [[A/B testing>>doc:Main.Smart_Communications.SMC_Use.Mass_messaging.A_B_testing.WebHome]], i.e., create different continuation variants of a campaign chain. This helps identify the best-performing campaign variant to use going forward. | ||
| 62 | |||
| 63 | |(% style="border-color:#ffffff; text-align:center" %){{lightbox image="A_B_test_en.png" width="700"/}} | ||
| 64 | |||
| 65 | In the field **Randomly distribute the specified number of customers**, enter the number of customers on whom the test will be conducted. These customers will be evenly distributed across all branches. The most effective variant will then be selected. For example, if 500 is entered, the first 500 customers will be evenly distributed among all branches, and all subsequent customers will be directed to the winning branch. | ||
| 66 | |||
| 67 | In the field **Criteria for selecting the winning variant**, specify the metric used to determine the best variant. The winner will be the variant with the highest number of opens/clicks/orders. | ||
| 68 | |||
| 69 | |(% style="border-color:#ffffff; text-align:center" %)[[image:Criteria_en.png]] | ||
| 70 | |||
| 71 | The field **Results evaluation period, days** allows you to delay evaluation of customer actions. For example, if 7 days is specified, opens/clicks/orders during the first 7 days will not be counted toward determining the winner. | ||
| 72 | |||
| 73 | The checkbox **Enable test restart** allows you to reset results from previous tests. If enabled, you must fill in one of the following fields: | ||
| 74 | |||
| 75 | * Restart period, days; | ||
| 76 | * Restart period, hours. | ||
| 77 | |||
| 78 | To create branching variants, add child actions. You can define two or more different variants. | ||
| 79 | |||
| 80 | **A/B test example:** | ||
| 81 | |||

| 85 | ====== Refresh filter [[image:attach:Filter.webp]] ====== | ||
| 86 | )))|(% style="width:1021px" %)((( | ||
| 87 | Used when a filter (**Filter customers**) was already applied earlier in the action chain and now needs to be updated—avoiding duplication of the filter definition. | ||
| 88 | |||
| 89 | **Usage example**: | ||
| 90 | |||
| 91 | * Filter customers—for instance, include everyone who made 1 order. | ||
| 92 | * Send them an email. | ||
| 93 | * Wait 30 days. | ||
| 94 | * Refresh the filter (new buyers may have appeared during this time). | ||
| 95 | * Send them another email. | ||
| 96 | |||
| 97 | |(% style="border-color:#ffffff; text-align:center" %)[[image:Filter_update_en.png]] | ||
| 98 | |||
| 99 | Other actions may occur between **Filter customers** and **Refresh filter**. | ||
| 100 | |||
| 101 | (% class="box infomessage" %) | ||
| 102 | ((( | ||
| 103 | * If multiple filters appear before **Refresh filter**, the nearest one will be refreshed. | ||
| 104 | * For the **Refresh filter** action, you can define separate paths for customers who match the filter and those who do not. | ||
| 105 | ))) | ||
| 106 | |||
| 107 | Like **Filter customers**, **Refresh filter** splits the incoming flow into two scenarios: | ||
| 108 | |||
| 109 | * **Positive** — marked with a green plus. Includes all customers meeting the filter conditions; | ||
| 110 | * **Negative** — marked with a red minus. Includes all customers not meeting the filter conditions. | ||
| 111 | |||
| 112 | For example, the filter selects all customers who will receive an SMS. All others (via the red-minus branch) receive an email. | ||
| 113 | |||
| 114 | Branches can later be merged again into a single common action if needed. | ||
| 115 | |||

| 136 | |||
| 137 | If needed, check the box **Send audience list to Loyalty Program**. If Loyalty Program integration is configured and supports audience list transfer, the list will be automatically sent to the Loyalty Program upon inclusion. | ||
| 138 | |||
| 139 | **Example**: | ||
| 140 | |||
| 141 | 1. Create an audience named "Wants to buy iPhone 13". | ||
| 142 | 2. This list is automatically sent to the Loyalty Program. | ||
| 143 | 3. In the Loyalty Program, you can set up a rule for these customers—for example, offer a gift if they purchase an iPhone 13. | ||
