- About Unica Optimize
  Unica Optimize is a web-based extension of Unica Campaign that allows you to determine the optimal contact strategy for each customer. You can optimize over time, looking across the proposed offers and channels across multiple marketing campaigns.
- Getting started with Unica Optimize
  Unica Optimize can optimize your marketing campaign and improve response from customers, but only if you know what you want to optimize. You need a plan, the data to support the plan, and an implementation method.
- Unica Optimize sessions
  A Unica Optimize session is a combination of rules and scores that apply to a set of proposed contacts.
- Optimization rules
  Unica Optimize uses the rules and scores you define in your Unica Optimize session to mathematically determine the best combination of final contacts you use across your marketing campaigns.
- Setting up scores
  You use scores in Unica Optimize to rank possible offers for each customer using a patent-pending optimization algorithm. The higher the score you assign to a contact, the more desirable you are making that contact. Unica Optimize maximizes the sum of scores in the OCT.
- Generate a list of proposed contacts
  The optimization process involves generating a list of proposed contacts in Unica Campaign and sending these contacts to Unica Optimize to produce optimized contacts.
- Use optimized contacts in marketing campaigns
  After you optimize the proposed contacts, you must retrieve the optimized contacts from Unica Optimize to send marketing communications to these contacts.
- Viewing Reports
  For each production run or test run, Unica Optimize generates a number of reports. These reports help you understand what happened during the optimization process by providing analyses pre- and post-optimization.
- Optimize Agentic AI Support
  Optimize supports Optimize Agentic AI support feature powered by the platform’s AI assistant, MaxAI. Built on a multi-layered security and licensing model, this feature streamlines the process of creating, listing, and analyzing optimization sessions via natural language processing.
- Administering Unica Optimize
  There are many aspects of Unica Optimize you can configure to improve performance.
- Unica Optimize configuration properties
  This section describes the Unica Optimize configuration properties that are found on the Configuration page.

User Security and Permission Configurations

The platform enforces a robust, multi-layered security model. To actively interact with the Optimize Agent and deploy optimization schemas through MaxAI, an end-user account must simultaneously possess permissions across both the Core Product and MaxAI AI Assistant frameworks.

Detailed Permission Matrix


Framework Authority	Named Permission Attribute	Technical Impact on User Experience
Core Product Permissions	Access Optimization Link	Must-Have Prerequisite. Grants fundamental operational rights to see and interact with the optimization module. If a user attempts an AI action while this permission is lacking, the backend agent checks the context and aborts with a security validation failure.
MaxAI AI Permissions	Create Optimization	Explicitly authorizes the user to commit new structural optimization sessions and rules to the system utilizing natural language ingestion.
