Configuration Panel – Inputs Tab (Downstream Post-Fulfillment Activity)

When displayed for one of the following activity types:

      Interactive activity

      Batch audience

      Control

      Export

      Offer

      Decision Offer

      Data Process

      Data Transfer

…when the activity in question is downstream from another fulfillment activity, the Inputs tab lists fulfillment states:

Note that where a channel provides both states and metrics (e.g. email), only states are available for selection in this context.

It is possible to select a subset of the records from the upstream fulfillment activity to be targeted by the downstream activity by choosing fulfillment states.  Records from the upstream activity that are in any of the selected states at the time of workflow execution will be targeted by the downstream activity.  Note that selection of any state(s) when executing a workflow in Test mode is equivalent to selecting the Targeted state.

Within the Inputs tab, fulfillment states are displayed using a treeview, which is expanded by default.

The first level of the treeview lists any channels of relevance to the upstream fulfillment activity.  Each is accompanied by a checkbox. Checking a checkbox enables the selected channel's fulfillment states' checkboxes.

The second level of the treeview categorizes the states relevant to each channel.

The third level lists states within categories.

A channel’s fulfillment states are enabled when the channel is selected.  Each state is accompanied by a checkbox, and you can check multiple channels’ fulfillment states concurrently.  By checking checkboxes you indicate that records output by the upstream activity which are in one of the selected states at the time of workflow execution are to be targeted by the downstream activity.  By default, the first channel shown in the tree and its Targeted state are checked.  A validation error is raised if you do not check any fulfillment states.

A channel’s states consist of:

      Targeted: this state is selected by default when a downstream activity is added.  It represents all records output by the upstream activity.

      Web events adapter states: these consist of:

Standard web events adapter states.  When a channel is linked to a web events adapter, and offer content contains a hyperlink with a URL compatible with the web events adapter, the following states are available at downstream workflow activities:

§ Page Visit

§ Form Submission

§ Link Click (a page visitor clicked on a link in the web page).

You can right-click any of the above states to display an 'Add criterion to state' context menu:

This allows you to specify a specific page, form or link to which the downstream activity is to react.  If you choose a page, this will typically be an RPI landing page to which the page linked to in the offer links in turn.  State tracking information will then be passed through to subsequent pages.

On selecting the option, a sub-state is added below the standard web events state.  The sub-state is presented in edit mode, with a default name of 'New state criterion'.  Its checked status reflects that of its parent web event standard state.

Additional context  menu options are available at the sub-state:

§ Edit

§ Remove

Custom states as defined in any web events adapters associated with the upstream activity’s channel.  These are listed in line with the standard web events states described above.

The fourth level of the treeview is only relevant to the Salesforce Marketing Cloud Email Click Through state.  It lists any URLs included within the Salesforce Marketing Cloud email offer content and is enabled when the Click Through state is checked.  Each URL is accompanied by a checkbox.  You can check one or more checkboxes to indicate that recipients clicking on the URL(s) in question within the received in email are to be targeted by the downstream fulfillment activity

Note that when the Inputs tab is shown as described, the Filters tab is not shown.
