From the previous tutorial <ahref="user-Howto.Create.Campaigns/view">"How to create Campaigns"</a>, you have learned how to create a campaign with ERP5 CRM Ticket module. Then in this tutorial, you will see how to create new events from this campaign.
</p><p>As introduced in the previous tutorial "Events", an event can be a phone call, an email, a fax message, etc. It can be either an incoming or outgoing event. The idea here is to learn how to prepare a campaign, which means to create detail events that will be sent later, as you will learn in the next tutorial.</p>

<detailsopen="open">
<p>In last tutorial, we have created a Ticket - the marketing campaign Beta Developer Program (the right side screenshot), which aims at increasing the awareness of SlapOS (The new open source Cloud developed by VIFIB) by announcing the campaign and hiring software developers.</p><p>Now that the campaign Ticket has been opened, we are going to create Events for it, send these Outgoing Events to the customers of the marketing campaign, and then handle those Incoming Events from our clients. In our VIFIB example, after the marketing campaign has been opened, as described in the introduction of Events, Cédric de Saint Martin, the community manager of VIFIB will create a mail message - an Event, and then send to his contacts who might be interested in the program and become developers of SlapOS in the future. After these contacts have received the email, they will reply to the VIFIB manager by mail message, which will be well stored in the CRM system for future reference.</p><p>In this tutorial, we will describe in detail how to create the mail message Event from the marketing campaign Ticket</p><p>
<strong>Description:</strong>
the
<strong>Event Title</strong>
is "SlapOS Recruits Beta Developers", the
<strong>Event Type</strong>
is Mail Message, the
<strong>Event Nature</strong>
is Announcement, the
<strong>Sender</strong>
is Cédric de Saint Martin (SlapOS Community Manager from VIFIB), the
<strong>Recipients</strong>
are 4 contacts including software developers, company managers, college professors, etc., the
<strong>Event Content</strong>
is about announcing the developer hiring campaign and describing the progression of SlapOS Project.

Now you will arrive at the Event creation page where you can <strong>add a Title</strong>
to this event; if you have chosen to create a web message (email), the title of the event will be the title of the email received by the Recipient when you will post the event, as described in the next tutorial. Then,
<strong>choose the Event type</strong>
and
<strong>select the direction</strong>
of the event (in our example, this Event will be an outgoing mail message). Then in the area
<strong>"Message"</strong>
, you can edit the content of the email you want to send.
</p><p>
When you are done, you can choose to <strong>Keep the Event in "Draft" state</strong>
, so that you can delete the Event from the Events list in the Ticket document. If not, the Event will be created under "Planned" state, which means it is ready to be sent, and you cannot delete it from the Ticket document anymore, because it will be recorded as a history of your Campaign. Then you can
<strong>click the “New Event”</strong>
button. This will create the new Event and open it in order for you to edit it further.

<detailsopen="open">
<p>Now that the Event has been created, you can see on the screenshot that some fields of this event have already been filled.</p><p>
For example, we will now explain the <strong>“Follow Up”</strong>
field. You remember that in order to keep tracks of interactions, the ERP5 CRM uses "Event Origin" and "Follow Up". The field “Follow Up” creates a link between an Event and a Ticket ( A Ticket is either a Campaign, a Support Request, a Meeting, a Sale Opportunity, etc...), from where the Event is created. The field "Event Origin" creates a link between related Events ( eg, an original mail message and the replies from its recipients).
</p><p>In our example, as we have created the Event (the Mail message "SlapOS Recruits Beta Developers") from a Campaign Ticket (the Beta Developer Program), the "Follow Up" field has been automatically set as being this very Campaign. As a result, this Event will be displayed in the Events list of the Follow Up Ticket, in our example, in the page of Beta Developer Program from where we have created this Event.</p>

<p>
Because in the previous step "Set Event title, type, direction and edit the message", we have written the content of the email already, you now only have to fill out the <strong>"Description"</strong>
field (if you need to note something to your team member to see), and you will have to fill out the
<strong>Sender/Caller</strong>
which means the person that will be in charge of sending the Event, and the
<strong>Recipients</strong>
field which must contain a person or an organisation from the Person or Organisation Modules of your ERP5 instance. If you are not sure of a name, you can click on the little wheels next to those fields and set the relation between a person/organisation and this Event, following the procedure you have learned in the previous tutorials. Once you have entered the recipients, make sure that the person documents of your recipients have an e-mail address, if necessary add an e-mail address to the person document. When you are done editing the Event document,
<strong>Save</strong>
your work by clicking the “Save" button.
