How to select a certain quantity/nth a list

[Diane_Schmid]

I'm curious if there's a way to select a random quantity of a list using a smart list.  For example, I have a list of 100K subscribers, but I only want to send my mailing to 10K, how would I go about doing that in the smart list setup?  Thanks!

Hey Diane, you can either put a random sample filter into the smart list of your program, or you can do it in the flow steps. Examples of each would be below:

*Sometimes with advanced filters you cannot have a random sample

Diane,

The way I typically will do this is to create a smart list/campaign with all members.

I then create 10 (in your case) static lists and use a flow step in my Smart Campaign that uses Add to List, Choice 1 through X Random Samples to 'split' the list randomly into the 10 static lists.

Also, Diane Schmid​, it's advisable to post questions like this to Products, rather than to the New York User Group, as you'll get more eyes on it!

At least that's what Scott Wilder​ usually recommends!
