But they serve different purposes:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\"><li>Automation Studio focuses on data management, whereas Journey Builder is associated with multichannel customer journeys.<br \/><\/li><li>Automation Studio automates repetitive tasks and processes customer data by the gross. Journey Builder personalizes customer interactions and adapts to ever-evolving behavioral trends in real-time.&nbsp;<\/li><\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p>In Salesforce Marketing Cloud, Automation Studio and Journey Builder are distinct tools working together to streamline a campaign. For instance, Automation Studio cleanses and organizes customer data for creating segments. Based on these segments, Journey Builder will create targeted campaigns.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>We\u2019re ready for the next steps. Before we move on, you need to know about folders in Automation Studio. Folders are basically used to store your automations. They\u2019re primarily for organization and improved visibility.

We have successfully created a new automation in Automation Studio.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"Schedule\">Understanding Schedule And File Drop&nbsp;<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Schedule and File Drop are two different kinds of triggers available in Automation Studio.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>If you want to run your campaign at specific intervals, you can choose Schedule. For instance, in the case of a welcome campaign, you can schedule your first welcome email to be sent at appointed intervals after signup.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>File Drop, on the other hand, triggers the automation in the event of a file having been uploaded to an appointed folder in Marketing Cloud\u2019s enhanced FTP (File Transfer Protocol).<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Example: your CRM system generates a daily sales report. You set up a new File Drop automation. So every time a sales report is uploaded to a folder in Marketing Clouds\u2019 enhanced FTP, the automation is triggered. This automation now processes the fresh data, updates dashboards, or triggers campaigns.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The benefits are obvious. It eliminates any manual intervention, streamlines campaign workflows, and enables faster responses to incoming new data.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>How to choose between Schedule or File Send as your \u2018starting source?\u2019 Well, it depends on your immediate needs. If you\u2019re building a pre-planned campaign, such as welcome series or weekly\/monthly newsletters, go for Schedule. But if you want to create triggers based on updated sales data, choose File Send.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Interestingly, you can also combine both triggers. For example, you schedule an abandoned cart campaign to run every Saturday night. Within this trigger, you can set up a secondary File Drop trigger; this automation will access the file containing real-time cart abandonment data.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Now suppose there is a waiting period after the scheduled run, allowing for a new potential cart abandonment. The File Drop trigger is active now, and it will fire as soon as a file containing updated data (latest cart abandonments) is uploaded to the concerned folder in the FTP location.&nbsp;&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The automation then processes the updated data, and triggers a cart abandonment email just for those newly abandoned carts. <a href=\"https:\/\/help.salesforce.com\/s\/articleView?id=sf.mc_as_define_a_triggered_automation.htm&amp;type=5\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener nofollow\">Learn how to configure a new File Drop automation<\/a>.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n<div class=\"banner_wrapper\" style=\"\"><div class=\"banner  banner-20791 bottom vert custom-banners-theme-default_style\" style=\"\"><a class=\"custom_banners_big_link\"  target=\"_blank\"  href=\"https:\/\/email.uplers.com\/salesforce-marketing-cloud-email-specialist\/\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"800\" height=\"200\" src=\"https:\/\/email.uplers.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/07\/journeys-in-SFMC-1.jpg\" class=\"attachment-full size-full\" alt=\"Let us help in building personalized journeys in SFMC\" srcset=\"https:\/\/email.uplers.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/07\/journeys-in-SFMC-1.jpg 800w, https:\/\/email.uplers.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/07\/journeys-in-SFMC-1-300x75.jpg 300w, https:\/\/email.uplers.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/07\/journeys-in-SFMC-1-768x192.jpg 768w, https:\/\/email.uplers.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/07\/journeys-in-SFMC-1-624x156.jpg 624w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 800px) 100vw, 800px\" \/><\/a><\/div><\/div>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"Workflow\"><strong>How Do You Build an Automation Workflow?<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>We\u2019ve already introduced you to the drag-and-drop interface where you will build your automaton workflow.

Feel free to go through the principle automation activities in Automation Studio. In the meanwhile, let\u2019s view automation in action.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Suppose you want to process product survey data. Your goal is to trigger a Thank You email after every customer submits their responses via a form that saves the data to a CSV file.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>You know the first step? That\u2019s right! We create a new automation in SFMC automation studio. Next, we need to build the automation workflow in the drag-and-drop interface. Accordingly, we can define the following activities, and drop-and-drag each one onto the workflow sequence:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ol class=\"wp-block-list\"><li><strong>File Transfer<\/strong>: We drag the File Transfer activity onto the interface. Then, we configure this activity to transfer the survey response file to a secure folder within Marketing Cloud.<br \/><\/li><li><strong>Import File<\/strong>: Next, we drag the Import File activity onto the emerging sequence. Once configured, it will now import data from the archived file, and store the data within a designated Data Extension in Marketing Cloud. Your survey responses are now stored within this Data Extension.<br \/><\/li><li><strong>Wait Activity<\/strong>: We want the automation to wait for 12 hours after the CSV file is imported. Why? Because this ensures that the email is sent at the right time and the system has ample time to process new\/updated data. So we will add a Wait activity next. The automation is now paused.<br \/><\/li><li><strong>Send Email<\/strong>: We complete the sequence by adding the Send Email activity. We configure it to trigger a Thank You email to the participants who took the product survey i.e. whose data was just imported.<\/li><\/ol>\n\n\n\n<p>Here is how the current automation workflow looks.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image border1-black\"><figure class=\"aligncenter size-full\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1600\" height=\"479\" src=\"https:\/\/email.uplers.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/03\/image5.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-38861\" srcset=\"https:\/\/email.uplers.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/03\/image5.jpg 1600w, https:\/\/email.uplers.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/03\/image5-300x90.jpg 300w, https:\/\/email.uplers.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/03\/image5-1024x307.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/email.uplers.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/03\/image5-768x230.jpg 768w, https:\/\/email.uplers.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/03\/image5-1536x460.jpg 1536w, https:\/\/email.uplers.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/03\/image5-624x187.jpg 624w, https:\/\/email.uplers.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/03\/image5-600x180.jpg 600w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1600px) 100vw, 1600px\" \/><\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-text-align-center\"><a href=\"https:\/\/trailhead.salesforce.com\/content\/learn\/modules\/automation-studio-activities\/automate-marketing-cloud-tasks\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener nofollow\">Source<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Is that all?
