Marketo Smart campaigns : Filters Or Triggers ?!

[Anonymous]

Hi Smart people

I need some help here please.

I have created a smart campaign, smart list (within the campaign ) and flow.

As you see, I am using filters and not triggers and there are about 2k members in the campaign. I have noticed that there are no new members are added to the campaign even though the filters apply to them . Does this mean that using "Filters" will add members who qualified in the past (before the time of creating the campaign) but not any future qualified members ?! if yes, shall I user trigger instead ?!

it is a bit confusing 😕 do you happen to know any trick to add qualified members to this campaign without using filters ?!

I hope my explanation was not very confusing and look forward to some answers thanks in advance

How/when are you executing this campaign?

A standalone Smart Campaign with no triggers needs to be executed/scheduled separately.  Otherwise it's just sitting there.

Thanks for the reply

I scheduled a day after I had created it and it worked

If you would like to new qualifying records to flow through the campaign, you will need to Schedule Recurrence on the Schedule tab.
