- Accounts as Campaign Member supports accounts and person accounts. When you add a person account as a campaign member, the record is added as a contact.
- Campaign member reports and metrics can vary between Sales and Account Engagement, because Account Engagement doesn’t include accounts in its campaign member totals.
- When you set sharing rules on an object, the Controlled by Campaign Member option inherits sharing settings from leads, contacts, accounts, and person accounts.
