The Subscription Services activity allows you to take profiles in mass and subscribe them to a service or unsubscribe them from a service.
Cuidado:
When subscription managed in the context of a workflow, the subscribed or unsubscribed profiles do not receive the different confirmation emails defined in the service properties.
The Subscription Services activity is the only Adobe Campaign functionality which allows multiple profiles to be subscribed to or to be unsubscribed from a service in a single action.
You can use this activity after having carried out targeting or having imported a file with identified data.
If specified in a file through dedicated columns, this activity also lets you choose the action (subscribe or unsubscribe) and the service on which to perform the action.
-
Select the Service for which you would like to manage the subscriptions using one of the following options:
-
Select services from the inbound transition : the service is specified in the inbound transition. For example, you can import a file which specifies the service to manage for each line. If you choose this option, make sure a link has been created beforehand between the data and the Service resource, as shown in this example.

-
-
Select an operation type from a path of inbound transition : select the column of the inbound data that specifies the operation to perform for each record.
In this column, the operation must be specified as a Boolean or Integer. Use 0 to unsubscribe a record and 1 to subscribe.
In case the values contained in an imported file do not match the above requirements, you can still use the Remapping of values option available in the Load file activity
This example illustrates how to import a file containing profiles and subscribe them to an existing service. After importing the file, a reconciliation needs to be carried out so that the data imported can be identified as being profiles. To ensure that the file does not contain any duplicates, a deduplication activity will be executed on the data.

This example illustrates how to import a file containing profiles and update their subscription to several services specified in the file. After importing the file, a reconciliation needs to be carried out so that the data imported can be identified as being profiles with a link to services. To ensure that the file does not contain any duplicates, a deduplication activity will be executed on the data.

As you may have noticed, the operation is specified in the file as "sub" or "unsub". The system expects a Boolean or Integer value to recognize the operation to perform: "0" to unsubscribe and "1" to subscribe. To match this requirement, a remapping of values is performed in the detail of the "operation" column.
-
A Reconciliation activity identifies the data from the file as belonging to the profile dimension of the Adobe Campaign database. Through the Identification tab, the email field of the file is matched to the email field of the profile resource.
In the Relations tab, a link is created with the service resource to allow the service field of the file to be recognized. In this example, the values match the name field of the service resource.
-
A Subscription Services identifies the services to update as coming from the transition, through the link created in the Reconciliation activity.
The Operation type is identified as coming from the operation field of the file. Only Boolean or Integer fields can be selected here. If the column of your file that contains the operation to perform does not appear in the list, make sure that you have correctly set your column format in the Load file activity, as explained earlier in this example.
