Stream and Cadence - Do I understand?

[Anonymous]

Hi there,

I am slowing working my way through the learning process, and though I completed the Drip, Drip, Nurture leaning activity: https://community.marketo.com/MarketoArticle?id=kA050000000L7cY
I am not sure I understand stream Cadence....

Lets say I put 3 emails in the stream - are these three emails supposed to be different (ie person A gets email 1, person B gets email 2 etc) OR are they supposed to be sequencial (ie person A gets email 1, then 2 and so on down the list).

Assuming they are sequential, does "Repeats" mean that, if I choose "weekly", email 1 goes out week 1, email 2 goes out week 2 and so on, until they end of the stream - and then the correspondence stops sending altogether?

Thank you, and appologies for being so green!

Hi Sarah,

The emails in the stream go out sequentially, based on the frequency you determine. 

If you pick weekly, and you pick what day of the week, let's say Wednesday for example, then the three emails will go out on three consecutive Wednesdays after which the emails will stop (assuming you only had three emails in the stream.)

Hope this helps.
