Engagement Programs: Smart list and program membership

[Lauren_Galietti]

If I create a smart list within an engagement program, it shows the members of the smart list as members of the program.

Does this mean that without running a campaign to add the smartlist members to a stream they will start receiving emails when the campaign is activated?

I believe you have to Add to Engagement Program to make them Members and for them to receive content.

If you created a smart list as a local asset, then they are showing as Members because they are members already. Check your filters.

I have not heard of a smart list making someone a member without a campaign or if you selected smart list leads and manually said "Add to Program"

Never tested this, but with complex processes I don't like to assume. And I want to make it transparant for other people using Marketo (after me). I would still add a flow step to fysically Add To Engagement Program. Just in case.

We have always created a smart list within the program and references the list under the first campaign stage and the emails to be sent under the second stage of the campaign.
