Moving new names and successes from one program to another

[Allison_Proehl]

Recently, we had a mini overhaul of our channels and thus the programs. Once I created the new channels and updated the statuses that needed updating I move members from the old program to the new one. I managed to move these members over to the new program with little issue, however what didn't push over was success.

When we looked at RCE it showed all of our Old Programs and showed that although there were 0 new names there were still 300 successes.

Do I just need to do a smart campaign with a change data value flow? Or is there some other way I can push those successes int he old campaign to be successes in the new campaign.

Yes, you specifically need to set the Success Status for those Leads in the New Program. But the Success Date will be TODAY, not the original date.

I generally do not recommend this sort of backfill because of this situation.

Hey Ali,

As Josh mentioned, updating acquisition and program status is fairly simple. Its correcting the legacy program membership date and acquisition date that become trickier.
