Hello team,

 

I am unable to understand the Head start concept on Marketo as I am confused with the time zones.

 

Could someone please explain me with an example of London, UK time for me to be able to relate?

 

Regards,

 

Sadhana.

Nice question regarding Head Start.

 

Here's a quick article that can help with better understanding this tool:

https://nation.marketo.com/t5/product-discussions/head-start-for-email-programs/td-p/71615

 

I think the key nugget her is that head start will work through the processing of your smart list in advanced.  If, for example, you have a smart list that has just a few criteria... you may not notice any sort of a difference or lag.  However, if you have a smart list that includes a lot of criteria - criteria that may cause a lot of processing power on your system - then, the Head start program may be beneficial for you.

 

Any additional thoughts on that one?
