  2. Check the request priority of the email and prioritize accordingly.
  3. Requests are prioritized High (1- 2 workdays), Medium (3- 4 workdays) and Low (5- 7 workdays). Prioritize queue accordingly.


  4. Check program code and program name are same in the portal as in the MRM.
  5. Check the status of the program code in MRM, proceed only when the program status is active.
  6. Verify the type of form and update Template Builder as specified.
  7. Check whether the auto response email is required.

STEP 2 - Download Template (90 min)

Template builder is the self-service application available for marketers to manage marketing campaigns and to build campaign assets such as emails, landing pages and event registration pages instantly, using responsive templates. One can build campaigns and assets without having to know any design coding languages.

  1. After verifying the request in the GMSS portal, search for the landing page with either the GMSS request number or one of the asset IDs, under the Manage Campaign option.


  2. Under stage properties verify all the fields filled by the requester are complete. If not, get back to the requester for their feedback.
  3. The requester should update all the fields where text is highlighted in black. The analyst should fill the fields where text is highlighted in blue.


  4. Once verified we work on the assets:

A. Welcome page

  • Check the welcome page – it should not have any link present in the body content
  • The banner image should only contain oracle brand marketing approved images. Also, as a best practice, there should be no banner text. If banner text is present, ensure its not more than 2 lines
  • The placeholder image is provided for the primary asset. The requestor will provide the image or the asset for the primary asset. If the asset (pdf, video ) is provided
  • Take a screenshot of the same, edit in Photoshop. upload in WCS and update the link in the placeholder with an appropriate alt text

B. Thank you page

  • Before working on the thank you page, ensure that the asset properties are complete.
  • The Thank you page will have the link for the primary asset. It may also contain secondary assets cross promoting related assets.
  • Update the same primary asset image used in the welcome page.
  • Upload the Primary asset resources in OCE and save the links generated.
  • Update the OCE link in the CTA button
  • If a secondary asset is provided, follow the same process as the primary asset and update the image and the links
  • The RHS will have the cross promotion sticky widget. In here check whether all the social media links are provided
  • The share link will be updated in the stage properties once the landing pad link is created
  • Verify all the assets and links of the thank you page before moving to the auto response email

C. Thank You email

  • Thank you email is an auto response email which is triggered once you access the thank you page
  • Before working on the email, ensure that the asset properties are complete, including the subject line and the sender name
  • Email stage should be LP thank you email, footer type auto response

  • The content of the TYEM should be similar to the thank you page, including the assets and links
  • As best practice there should be not more than 2 secondary assets following the primary assets.
  • Update the asset images and links of both the primary and secondary asset if present, and complete the TYEM

5. Update the link and assets in the template builder, and complete the first draft of the LP asset. Download the asset to your local drive

Please Note:

  • In some cases, there can be secondary offer gating on these pages for which marketers need to set up a thank you page, to host the secondary offer. And they may also need thank you email for this.
  • The ungated landing pads name in template builder will always start with ULP
