Child Campaigns

What is a child campaign?

A Salesforce child campaign can have its own name, members, type, and other details, but is part of a larger campaign group (Parent campaign) that represents the overall marketing goal or strategy. You can create these campaigns for different marketing channels, such as email, contact forms, webinars, etc.  and may or may not contain campaign members for the purpose of sending out emails & generating opportunities.
