Expire Smart Campaigns

[Anonymous]

It would be really useful if we could set a date to expire smart campaigns.  As it stands now, we have to manually do this, which is inefficient and prone to error.  Is this possible or any chance this is coming in a future update?

This is something that's available in engagement programs, so it sounds like it would be possible for smart campaigns as well. I'd vote up the idea 🙂

If it's a batch send you can set your campaign to run on a schedule and or end on a certain date. I do this for progression status campaigns to catch people who may be late on opening emails and clicking. 

You are limited to daily weekly monthly though...

This is all done through schedule recurrence.

Allison -

Marketo automatically does an idle trigger cleanup on a quarterly basis and deactivates smart campaigns that no leads have qualified for in over six months. You can learn more about this here. 

There is an idea on the community to allow for Marketo users to set an expiration date for smart campaigns, you can vote on in here.

What Val said. They go inactive after 6 months preventing you the need to deal with it at all.

gotta love bringing old posts back to life...

I'm wondering if there's actually a way to PREVENT the 6-month inactive process? While generally useful in monitoring batch campaigns, I have some assets on my website that could still get traffic, but I come to find that the smart campaign has deactivated after 6 months. Yes, I get that it was deactivated because no one saw it, but we're promoting more and more lately and I missed a couple through the cracks. Anyway to prevent it without setting reminders to check every 6 months?

I think just voting on this idea...
