This exercise will walk through the steps to create a Campaign in the Adobe Campaign V8 Web UI.

Campaigns are a combination of workflows and deliveries.  Each campaign can contain multiple workflows and each workflow can include one or more deliveries.  

## Create a Campaign

1. Navigate to Campaigns from the left navigation menu:

   ::Image[]{src="https://api.archbee.com/api/optimize/1Jp0iolWv35Z_mkI7oUiT/uJe-Mmv9arlWz3Wqo6Wqc_screenshot-2024-01-31-at-14746-pm.png" size="50" width="235" height="195" position="flex-start" showCaption="false"}
2. Click on **Create Campaign** in the top right corner of the screen:

   ::Image[]{src="https://api.archbee.com/api/optimize/1Jp0iolWv35Z_mkI7oUiT/DU3FGk924unKysQoEW_vj_screenshot-2024-01-31-at-14842-pm.png" size="46" width="165" height="65" position="flex-start" showCaption="false"}
3. On the next screen, define the Properties and Schedule for the Campaign. Choose a template and provide a Label that you will recognise later.   This is also where you can update the folder or schedule dates for the campaign.

4. Click **Create**

   ::Image[]{src="https://api.archbee.com/api/optimize/1Jp0iolWv35Z_mkI7oUiT/6vjV7arMZD42DiHandLug_screenshot-2024-01-31-at-21606-pm.png" size="22" width="101" height="52" position="flex-start" showCaption="false"}
5. You will arrive at a screen with 2 tabs: **Workflows** and **Deliveries.   **What you see configured here will depend on which campaign template has been selected when creating the campaign.  In this instance a default empty workflow has been created for you.

6. The **Deliveries** tab is where you will find all deliveries related to the campaign.  Currently this will be empty.   
7.

8. You can add deliveries directly to this tab using the **Create delivery **button and configure them the same way we saw in the last exercise.  Alternatively you can use a workflow to define a more complicated set of actions which might include multiple steps and multiple deliveries across channels.    

This is what we will do for this exercise, let's now create a multi-step campaign to send an email, wait for 3 days then send a reminder via SMS to anyone that clicked through but has not yet purchased. 

## Configure the workflow

1. Return to the workflows tab and click to open the default workflow. 
2.
