Configure campaign enrollment

When creating or editing a campaign, you can apply enrollment rules to customize your customer segments and refine the campaign's audience. If the campaign has a series of touchpoints, Optimizely Data Platform (ODP) reapplies the enrollment rules for every touchpoint based on the current enrollment status. For example, if you use lists as an enrollment rule, ODP checks the membership to see if you updated the list each time before sending the next touchpoint.

2. Create a campaign or select the campaign you want to edit. 
3. Expand Enrollment and edit an existing segment or create a standard or real-time segment.

Types of enrollment 

You can enroll customers in the following two ways depending on the type of campaign:

• Segment-based enrollment – Enroll customers by using a standard or real-time segment. Standard segments are available for one-time and behavioral campaigns, while real-time segments are available for web campaigns. 
• Event-based enrollment – Enroll customers that have triggered an event, like opening an email. Event-based enrollment is only available for behavioral campaigns.
