## Sending Field Actions Using Campaign Manager

To improve collaboration with end user activities, Campaign Manager includes Field Action, a channel that allows marketers to directly create and send Suggestions to end users. Marketing users can prompt end users to record a call or send a specific email in response to an HCP's engagement.

For example, if an HCP selects a link in a campaign email, a follow-up Field Action can automatically create a suggestion for the HCP's rep to send a relevant event invitation, seamlessly blending home office-driven and field-driven tactics.
