You can add campaign members from a report that returns lead, contact, or person account records. Verify that Detailed Rows is turned on before you begin.
- Make sure that the Detailed Rows setting is turned on.
- Click the report’s action menu, and then select Add to Campaign. If the Add to Campaign button is disabled, modify your report to return fewer than 50,000 records.
- Enter or select the campaign to add these members.
- Select a member status for the new members, or keep their current statuses.
- Click Submit, and then check your email for a confirmation message.
- In Salesforce Classic, use the Add to Campaign button to complete the operation. Review the confirmation screen, and then click Done.
Be aware of these considerations when adding campaign members from a report:
- To add members to campaigns from custom reports, the report’s primary object must be a lead, contact, or person account.
- To add members to campaigns from reports in Lightning Experience, the custom report type must include the Full Name field.
- If you interrupt the add campaign members process, some members can still be added to the campaign. That’s because members are added in batches.
- If you edit a record during the adding process, it isn’t added to the campaign.
- You can add active leads to campaigns—not converted leads. If converted leads appear on your report, don’t worry, only the active leads are added to the campaign.
- The Add to Campaign button appears only in saved reports. The button doesn’t appear when you edit or preview a report.
