Hello!
We have built a system of lead entry and scoring campaigns, which heavily relies on "Request Campaign" flows. Under heavy traffic our campaign queue gets pretty crowded and processing tends to slow down which causes various headaches.
Now I have heard that "Request Campaign" is actually not an ideal way to connect two Smart Campaigns. Records would flow faster, if for instance "Add to list" and "Was added to list" was used as the connector.
Can anybody confirm that is true?
Thank you!
Michael
Hey Michael,
In high traffic cases, yes this is typically true: Marketo basically has an internal prioritisation system that decides which types of processes are run at a higher vs lower priority - and request campaign flow steps are known for falling in the lower priority bucket. In low traffic cases it's not noticeable, but in high traffic cases you'll definitely see that "add to list" alternative processes will run faster.
