What Oracle Responsys is
Oracle Responsys is Oracle’s B2C cross-channel campaign management product for enterprise marketers. It runs campaigns through email, mobile, SMS, push notifications, and web, with event-triggered and behavior-based customer journeys. AI-assisted segmentation and predictive targeting support personalized engagement, while testing and machine-learning models help optimize content, offers, and send times. Responsys includes lead-capture forms and multiple CRM integrations. Oracle says it connects with Fusion Unity Data Platform and Oracle CX applications; its Content Management integration places published repository assets into email and mobile campaigns. Marketplace apps include Magento Connector, Facebook Custom Audience, and Pinterest Widget. REST, SOAP, asynchronous, and event-notification APIs are documented, with asynchronous access under controlled availability. Security documentation covers encryption at rest, HTTPS REST APIs, role-based access, and optional IP allowlisting. New customers must first purchase the platform, initial deals require at least a 12-month term, and consulting services are required for the initial purchase. Pricing is on request; one listed plan is $2 a year, priced per 1,000 annual interactions with a 100,000 minimum metric quantity.
