Adding occurrence connections to a campaign
This feature is enabled to support the use of Campaigns, which is a native functionality of Salesforce.com. Campaigns can be used in a variety of ways and are often utilized with 3rd party Mass Email applications found on the Salesforce AppExchange.
While Campaigns is not part of the HandsOn Connect applications, we hope that customers that are leveraging this tool will be able to utilize the "Add to Campaign" functionality to make it easier to add contacts to your campaigns based on their involvement. We think this will be helpful in managing communications and donation efforts around volunteer events and disaster response.
To learn more about campaigns and how they could be beneficial to your organization, click here to see documentation from Salesforce.com.
