Selecting an Nth of a file - Please help ASAP

Anonymous · ‎10-10-2017

Hi,

Need some help on this. I'm creating a smart campaign to select an NTH of a static list to mail over the course of several days. I want to be able to mail new names from that list over consecutive days, without repeating people that received a message the day before. Eventually all should be mailed from that list at least once. Here's what I have so far:

WHO: Member of List: List Name

What: If Random Sample is 5% then email: EMAIL Design Concept X

Default Choice: Do Nothing

When:

Campaign Status: Not Run

Smart List Mode: Batch (shouldn't it be Trigger??)

Smart List Status: Affecting XXXX people

Smart List Reoccurrence:

Repeats every weeks on Monday, Tuesday, Wednesday, Thursday and Friday

End date:Oct 13, 2017

Next three runs:

Oct 10, 2017 12:35 PM EDT

Oct 11, 2017 12:35 PM EDT

Oct 12, 2017 12:35 PM EDT

In any response can you please include screenshots of how I should adjust the format/setup? What might I be doing wrong? This would be so much easier if Marketo had a Throttling option for email sends. I'm hoping this approach will work.

Any help is greatly appreciated.

Thanks.

Dave

Hi Drew,

How does this look?

Is there anything that I need to think about on the Smartlist or Schedule side/tabs?

Also will I need to repeat any of the steps underneath the Remove From Flow section above (another random sample @ a certain % or is it smart enough to run until the list is completed?)

Thanks.

Dave
