How to Create and Launch a DBR Campaign in myCRMSIM
Database Reactivation (DBR) helps you re-engage old or existing contacts with an offer, follow-up message, or appointment request.
With Simi, you can describe your DBR campaign, and Simi will collect the required information and prepare the agent, messages, and workflow for you.
Important: A single-contact test is required before launching the campaign to the full database.
