Hi Edward Camarillo, sorry for the delay here! My team decided not to add any extra channels. Instead, my Downloads template has a nested Email program for sending the announcement about the new asset (such as getting a new white paper to all relevant subscribers). For email programs in general, I send the email using a smart campaign so that I can add wait steps for different time zones. As I mentioned in my original post, this captures all the standard email reporting, but it doesn't change the program icon to show a sent email. In order to get around that, I set up the email program smart list so that it will only go to me (filter: email address is rachel.egan@tubemogul.com ) and schedule it for a few minutes in the future. Once the email is sent to me and the email is sent through the smart campaign, the program will appear as though the email was sent via the email scheduler. The key is to ensure that the email in the smart campaign is the same email as the one in the email scheduler. For reporting, if I'm looking at program performance, I exclude my email programs from the reports. That way I don't have to worry about double-success. Plus, email success tends to be measured differently than other programs anyway. More about https://nation.marketo.com/community/champion/blog/2017/01/16/krewechats-episode-13-advanced-reporting. Hopefully that makes sense. I'm happy to clarify anything if it would be helpful.
