Campaign Manager Backend

Campaign Manager App Backend Template
Multi-Channel Marketing and Conversion Tracking

Q: What is a Campaign Manager backend?

A Campaign Manager backend is a BaaS schema and API for marketing: campaigns, channels, leads, and analytics.

Q: What does the Campaign Manager template include?

It includes Campaign (name, description, start date, end date), Channel (name, type, status), Lead (campaign, channel, contact info, status), and Analytics (campaign, channel, metrics), ER diagram, API playground, and an AI Agent prompt.

Q: Why use Back4app for a marketing app?

Back4app provides managed database, auth, real-time queries, and flexible schema so you can ship engagement, conversion flows, and analytics without running your own backend.

Q: How do I run queries for campaigns and channels with Flutter?

Use the Campaign and Channel classes to query and display marketing efforts and performance, leveraging the Back4app SDK.

Q: How do I create a lead with Next.js server actions?

Use a server action to create a Parse Object for Lead with campaign, channel pointers, and status. Optionally validate in Cloud Code.

Q: Can React Native cache campaigns and channels offline?

Yes. Enable Local Datastore and pin Campaign and Channel results so users can browse saved marketing efforts without connectivity.

Q: How do I prevent duplicate leads?

In Cloud Code beforeSave for Lead, query existing leads and reject if a duplicate exists.

Q: What is the best way to show campaign performance on Android?

Query Campaign and Analytics classes to display performance metrics, using the Back4app SDK for data management.

Q: How does the analytics flow work end-to-end?

Users can track analytics for campaigns and channels, and the system updates in real-time using Live Queries for instant reporting.

Build with AI Agent

Use the Back4app AI Agent to generate a real Campaign Manager app from this template, including frontend, backend, auth, and campaign, channel, lead, and analytics flows.

Back4app AI Agent

Ready to build

Create a Campaign Manager marketing app backend on Back4app with this exact schema and behavior.

Schema:
1. Campaign: name (String, required), description (String), start date (Date), end date (Date); objectId, createdAt, updatedAt (system).
2. Channel: name (String, required), type (String), status (String); objectId, createdAt, updatedAt (system).
3. Lead: campaign (Pointer to Campaign, required), channel (Pointer to Channel, required), contact info (String, required), status (String); objectId, createdAt, updatedAt (system).
4. Analytics: campaign (Pointer to Campaign, required), channel (Pointer to Channel, required), metrics (Object); objectId, createdAt, updatedAt (system).

Security:
- Only the user can update/delete their campaigns. Only the author can create/delete their channels and leads. Use Cloud Code for validation.

Auth:
- Sign-up, login, logout.

Behavior:
- List campaigns, manage channels, track leads, and analyze performance.

Deliver:
- Back4app app with schema, ACLs, CLPs; frontend for campaigns, channels, leads, and analytics.
