Disable Smart Campaign on Archive" feature in Marketo

[MuhammedSuhail]

Has anyone used Treasure Chest's "Disable Smart Campaign on Archive" feature? How is the experience, if any? Will it applicable all smart campaigns including executable?  Will this soon become a real feature, as it is Treasure Chest?

@MuhammedSuhail, yes, I've tried this feature, and it's great! With this feature, you don't need to worry about manually turning off the trigger/scheduled batch campaigns.

Also, there is no on/off for executable campaigns; they are always on! So, even if you have any other campaign(s) executing a campaign that's in an archived folder, you'd still see people flowing through the executable campaign. I did a bit of testing to validate that. 🙂

This is a great time-saver feature, especially when it comes to cleaning up your Marketo instance .

Thanks @Darshil_Shah1  I was waiting for a community discussion as this is a Treasure Chest before implementing in our instance.

You're most welcome, @MuhammedSuhail! Glad to be of help. I like that Marketo has put up a little FYI dialog box informing users that campaigns would be turned off on archiving the folder.

Does that mean once this feature "Disable Smart Campaign on Archive" is enabled, the out of box Marketo Archive folder functionality will not work: https://experienceleague.adobe.com/en/docs/marketo/using/product-docs/core-marketo-concepts/miscella...

For example: if archive trigger campaign but un-able to keep it active since the "Disable Smart Campaign on Archive" is enabled. Is there any additional details available on this feature?

[Darshil_Shah1]

No, you can still create archive folders like you used to -- it's just that when you move active campaigns (scheduled batch/trigger) in it (within a program/independent campaign), Marketo will auto-deactivate them so you don't have to manually deactivate/clear schedule of campaigns.
