Updating of Last activity column based on email campaign

[SSharma14]

Hi,

When I run a marketing email campaign, it shows in the contact activity feed but does not update the last activity column of those contacts. For follow-up purpose, how would I know whuch contacts I have sent the email to? As in if I want to see it through my last activitry column, do I need to then update these manually?

Hey @SSharma14 the last activity date doesn't include marketing emails :

There is a section in contact properties for "email activity" however which has a whole host of options that are auto-populated on the contact record based on your marketing emails, is this what you're looking for?

Hi @SSharma14,

There is a property called Last marketing email send date which you could use instead?

Best regards!

Yes, this is what I was looking for. So now I have added 'Last email send date' to the column and this is helpful in filtering based on email marketing campaign.
Thanks.
