Smart campaign that adds 300 people to a program once a week?

[Laura_Håkansson]

Hi,

I have a group of 8K people that I would like to send emails to once a week, but only to 300 at a time. Is there a way to create a smart campaign that could add 300 leads to a nurture program once a week from a smart list? My guess is no, but just wanted to be sure before manually creating lists of 300 people..

Assuming that you want to send the email to all 8000 people over a period of time, we can stagger the same as the following - A way to achieve this is by using Random Sample and using it in the choice to either send the email, or add it to a list where we can apply the random sample again. This however would need a slowly increasing random sample as the size of the list with each send keeps decreasing.

That would indeed work, but only achieve an approximation of 300 a week at best.

A similar way, but with a higher level of accuracy is to split your list into a series of 26/27 static lists at the start (which you can do with the random samples quite well as your main list does not change in size) and then set up a smart campaign with alternating wait steps and add to engagement program steps, where the add to engagement program steps take the next consecutive static part-list every time.

Thanks, I'll give this a try!
