Deploy one activity to multiple environments?

[_Paul_S]

Is it possible to set up Target to deploy activities to multiple environments at the same time?

For example, everything we currently do goes straight to production after some local testing.  I would like to update our staging and dev environments with the same test, but as far as I can tell the only way to do that is to duplicate every test for each environment and deploy separately.  

Ideally I'd love it to work like Launch where I can deploy through each environment so that production always matches stage / dev.

Thanks!

Hey @_Paul_S 

Adobe target doesn't directly support deploying the same activity to multiple environments ( dev, stage, uat or prod) in single process like Adobe Launch however you can streamline this process somehow like 

1) Using mbox parameters or URL's to restrict activity - Create a single activity in Adobe Target and setup the environment specific conditions through page delivery options (below screenshot) based on the URL  or through adding mbox parameters like (env = stage) etc.  

Please note - this delivers the same test across all the domains. 

2) You can create activities on a specific environment by utilizing and combining Properties with Workspaces. A property is mapped to a workspace. 

basically,  a Property and a Workspace for each environment. When you create a property it will generate a unique id (at_property) and then implement this id into its relevant environment.    For Ex:  dev = id123, stage = id345, prod = id567  and while creating the activity in Adobe Target, you can assign as many properties so the test will deliver on that environment. 

There is nice blog written by @Vaibhav_Mathur on property and workspace - you can go through it  Building Safe and Secure Engaging Experiences - The Importance of Controlled Access in Experience Op... and I'm sure that will help. 

Hope this helps.
