Automation Studio is a powerful tool that can process and segment data from a variety of sources, including hourly batch file drops from Marketing Cloud. Once the data is processed and segmented, Automation Studio can then be used to trigger sends and decisions for campaigns. This allows for a more efficient workflow and better control over the customer journey. Additionally, Automation Studio can be used to trigger automated, personalized emails and messages, as well as to monitor the performance of campaigns and analyze results.
