Hi there, I had a question. I currently have a 'Welcome and onboarding' Stream but my team who aren't very digital are wanting to place leads that came from a Dev focused event into the 'welcome and onboarding' stream. The only issue with this is that they will probably unsubscribe because they would probbably be confused as to why they went to a large dev event then get sent an intro email about it. My team have asked if I can just drop them in Email 2, 3, 4 BUT skip Email 1? I think it would be better to create an event specific stream and place content there and then move them by transitions rules into 'Welcome and onboardin' stream, (SKIP EMAIL 1 INTRO) but be dropped into Email 2 (Product free trial),Email 3, Training and certification, Email 4, dev newsletter etc? Basically my question is: Can additional contacts be added to any stage of the drip and nurture? Thanks!

Interesting ideas from everyone.First, read this Master Nurturing and Marketo Engagement Programs which describes what Alex and Bryan are getting at.You are overthinking this. You want to have a more Generic Drip that can be an Engagement (or Irregular Drip Program) that meets the needs of most leads that haven't actually signed up for a product.You can certainly manage potential Skips as above, although that seems overly complex to me. Nested Programs become complicated fast.Welcome/Onboarding is for only people who buy or trial a product, not for leads. So you haven't really explained the use case here. What you should do is:Engagement for Net New or Non Product People. The Streams can be by Product Interest, Events, or Funnel Stage with varying speeds. Really up to you.you could also have more than one depending on scenarios. Whiteboard it.Engagement for Onboarding which is only for Trials and can potentially Transition Paid people to a new Stream where they get new content.Transitions are only driven by smart campaigns.
