Removing a Campaign from a Lead or Contact

QUESTION:

We need to remove the Campaign History from a group of Leads. I would like to do this without deleting the Campaign or Lead. Is this possible with Demand Tools? 

ANSWER:

Yes, using the MassEffect module, the relationship between a Campaign and a Lead or Contact can be created or deleted.

• The association between Leads/Contacts and Campaigns is done via the CampaignMember object. 
• To delete the object relationships you will need a spreadsheet containing the CampaignMemberID for the records you want to delete. 
  • To find the CampaignMember IDs, export (via MassEffect) from the CampaignMember table.
    •  To Export, right click on the CampaignMember table and create a condition(s) to grab the records you need to delete.
• Once you have the MemberIDs, load the spreadsheet into MassEffect, put it in "Delete" mode, map over the ID and process.

More information on MassEffect can be found HERE
 

NOTE: When CampaignMember records are deleted THEY WILL NOT be sent to the recycle bin, so be sure to include the Lead/Contact ID, CampaignID and Status in the original export file so that could be used to restore the old Campaign Members if needed.
