Adding Emails vs Program on a Stream

[IreneSch]

Hello,

I wanted to get more details on the difference between adding a program vs. adding an email to a stream (see attached screen captures). I'm concerned this will affect the flow of the stream or how the statuses are captured.

The first send I did was a program, as it was one email in English for everyone. Now, I've created a new email with dynamic content so I want to specifically add that email to the stream, and not the whole program. How will this affect the statuses?

Does anyone have more info on this? Much appreciated!

Hi @IreneSch ,

Adding mixed assets in a stream will not have any effect on how Marketo Engagement program works.

But its not always recommended to have mixed assets in a single stream.

For better understanding read through this https://nation.marketo.com/t5/product-discussions/engagement-program-streams/m-p/347148#M196844

Hope this helps.😊

Thank you!

Generally avoid using Programs in Engagement programs. It is rarely useful without RCE and even then I would argue it creates a ton of extra campaigns and complexity.
