This is where you set the campaign type and schedule for audience exports. On a journey Destination Node, you set timing on the journey canvas.
| Setting | Audience export | Journey Destination Node |
|---|---|---|
| Export Name | Defaults to the audience name. | Required. Enter a name so you can find the export in GrowthLoop and Constant Contact. |
| Campaign type | Choose a one-time or ongoing export. | The journey schedule controls when the journey runs and contacts are sent to Constant Contact. |
| Schedule | Set frequency, start date, end date, and days of the week. | Users reach this node when the journey runs. Add a Delay Node or set Criteria Evaluation to control timing. |
