How to take snapshot of a Target Group in SAP Marketing Cloud?

[boudhayan-dev]

Hi,

I have created a segmentation model and based on that a Target Group is generated. So, now every time the segmentation model is updated (due to new customers being added), the target groups do not reflect the change, which I understand is because there needs to be a snapshot taken for it to work. Currently, I have to do this action of taking snapshot via the API ( API_MKT_TARGET_GROUP_SRV ). I could not find any mention of snapshot in the API docs. So I wanted to know, is it possible to trigger this from API or we have to use the UI only ?

Regards,

Dev

Hi Dev.

Based on your question, I assume you are referring to Dynamic Target Groups.

Options to take a snapshot to your TG:

• Manually: by choosing the Snapshot button in the Target Group UI.
• Automatically: when you export a target group, or when a campaign triggers an action in campaign execution, or when a CRM campaign that has been integrated into SAP CRM is executed.

Hi Bruno.

You are right , I am talking about dynamic target group.

Are you saying that if the target group is bound to a campaign and its contents change, then the campaign can automatically detect it. Say for example, I have a Target Group of 5 people and I have a recurring Email Campaign (every week ), On first week email is sent to 5 people and in the second week another person gets added to the target group. Then, does it mean for the second week it'll send the email to 6 people automatically. Or do I have to take snapshot of the Target group after the 6th person is added, for the email to be sent to him in the second week ?

Hi Dev.

1. Yes, you are right! SAP Help is not working properly now.. please try to access later on.

2. Yes, everytime a recurring/periodic campaign runs. .a snapshot is triggered in Dynamic TGs.
