Campaigns

A campaign pairs an email template with a customer group (and an optional event) and sends that email to the group's subscribed members. It mirrors the admin Marketing → Communications → Campaigns screen.

How a campaign works

A campaign brings together four pieces of marketing data and a subject line:

• Email template (marketingTemplate) — the HTML body that gets sent. Set up under Marketing → Communications → Email Templates. Linked on create / update by its id (marketingTemplateId).
• Customer group (customerGroup) — who receives it. The send goes to the subscribed members of this group; for a guest group it goes to the guest newsletter subscribers. Linked by id (customerGroupId).
• Channel (channel) — the storefront channel the campaign belongs to. Linked by id (channelId).
• Event (marketingEvent, optional) — a dated marketing event the campaign can line up with. May be null. Linked by id (marketingEventId).

The campaign also carries its own subject (the email subject line) and a status (0 inactive / 1 active).

Resolved objects. The detail query resolves the channel, customerGroup, and marketingTemplate objects — sub-select the fields you need from each. The campaign's event is REST-only: read marketingEvent (object or null) via the REST detail; it is not field-selectable over GraphQL. On list rows the objects are null.

Sending. Send queues the template to every subscribed member of the campaign's customer group immediately, skipping any event-date gate. Only an active campaign (status = 1) can be sent — sending an inactive one returns a 422 error.

Operations in this menu

Action	Operation
List	adminMarketingCampaigns query
Detail	adminMarketingCampaign query
Create	createAdminMarketingCampaign mutation
Update	updateAdminMarketingCampaign mutation
Delete	deleteAdminMarketingCampaign mutation
Send	createAdminMarketingCampaignSend mutation

The channel, customerGroup, and marketingTemplate objects resolve only on the detail query — they are null on list rows. The campaign's event is REST-only. Create / update mutation payloads do not resolve the objects — re-query the detail.

Relations. Campaigns draw on Email Templates (the body), Events (the optional date anchor), and Newsletter Subscribers (the audience — a send reaches the subscribed members of the chosen customer group).
