The Steps to create a Pardot marketing campaign are:

Design a campaign – This is the first step in establishing a link/relationship with a prospect. With the option of the Connected campaign enabled, you can design campaigns in Salesforce. It will then be shortly presented in Pardot. Connected Campaigns bring unity between Pardot and Salesforce so one does not need to use both tools. Connected Campaigns shows engagement KPIs such as clicks and opens, as well as influenced Opportunities.

Make an email template to go with your campaign - Email templates enable duplicating repeatable sections of the template and curating the content blocks at hand. You may lock specific sections therefore other team members can only edit pointed sections of the email.

Automation rules - Automation rules let a user undertake pointed marketing and sales actions based on criteria that have been selected. Automation rules operate in the background, so the concerned team doesn’t have to always look for leads that match your criteria.
