Triggering paid updates through Next-Best-Action
After you configure the connection to a paid destination and specify how individuals are matched to their accounts on that destination, use the Next-Best-Action Designer to enable Next-Best-Action decisions for paid channels.
The Next-Best-Action Designer allows you to define the Next-Best-Action decisions and requirements which apply to the whole organization, or to specific business issues or groups. You can use it to select the channels on which actions, such as product offers, are communicated to individuals. In addition, you can specify the triggers which cause the actions to be communicated to individuals, for example, scheduled outbound runs or real-time container updates.
