  3. Pete, good point, quick campaigns are a little bit less customizable, like you cannot modify the form or fields, but you can with campaigns!

  4. I'm confused by what "Cannot use templates with quick campaigns." means in the QC/templates cell.

    With 2011 I can create a CreateActivitiesListRequest object, with a TemplateId property. After I Execute() the object, it creates the QC job, sends emails using the template, and the fields are correctly substituted in the emails.

    Perhaps this feature was added after 2011 RTM?

  5. Hi Pete, it is referring to campaign templates, not email templates.

  6. Can you change which phone number field, on say a contact, is used when creating a campaign phone call?
