Added to List Trigger is Not Firing When a Lead is Imported Into a List Via List Import

Issue

"Added to List" trigger is not firing when a lead is imported to a list when the List Import Mode "Skip new people and updates" is selected.

 

 


Solution

Campaign triggers fire when the triggering activity is written to the lead's activity log. "Skip new people and updates" mode specifically skips activity logging. Since the "Added to List" activity is not written to the lead record when a lead is imported, the campaign will not be triggered.
