For example, you can filter playbooks that you can use based on the stage in the marketing funnel that you want to target - conversion, engagement, or retention. You could also filter the displayed playbooks by the industry that you are in or the product entitlement that you have access to - Adobe Journey Optimizer or Real-Time CDP.

Before you settle on a playbook and create instances of it, you should inspect it to make sure it fits your needs. To help you better understand the use cases they cover, all playbooks contain the sections listed below. When you are ready to proceed and generate assets, select Create Instance.

Mindmap mindmap

Use the mindmap section in a playbook to understand the steps of the workflow that the playbook can help you solve. Visualize the flow of how all the generated objects can help you achieve the use case, from the perspective of the persona targeted in the use case.

The mindmap starts with a definition of who is reached in the user journey and describes at every step if something is delivered by Adobe, like a new message or a reminder, or if it is something that the targeted persona did that triggers the next message or event.
