Campaigns, in addition to offering event management, serve as CommunitySuite's communication tool.
Campaigns do not allow deceased profiles to be added to their lists. They also honor Do Not Mail, Do Not Email, and Do Not Phone preferences by excluding that contact information from exports. Emails marked Do Not Email also do not sync to Mailchimp. When a profile is added to a campaign, you can see that profile's campaign history.
