SAM | Campaign types: what impact they have and how they work with advantages

General info

Most of SAM Campaign types are just informative, in other words they have no practical impact:

However there are a few important exceptions:

  • "Information directly related to a contact's purchase or reservation" will bypass GDPR restrictions

  • "Invitation" is to be used with single usage codes
