When a control activity executes, relevant records are written to the offer history and offer history meta tables. No other fulfillment occurs, and no contacts are made from RPI.
The records written in this way may be further restricted if the control channel used has been associated with a filter.
In addition, if the channel is configured to call an external service post-execution, that service is invoked immediately upon control execution. If an invalid service address was supplied at channel configuration, execution continues without failing.
If a channel is configured to call a Redpoint Data Management job post-execution, note that the job will be called when executed in both Test and Production mode.
