Activities give you the ability to automate work that you do in the application. Together with Messages and Programs, activities can perform many of your recurring processes, freeing you to focus on other tasks.

Why Use an Activity

Use an activity to automate a discrete unit of work in the application with the option to include the activity in a program.

Activities enable many of the solutions you might want to use. For example, the query activity is central to the remarketing solution.
