Acquisition Program attribution

If I set up a "Visits Web Page" trigger in a smart campaign, and I put "Change Acquisition Program IF Acquisition Program is Empty" in the Flow step, would anonymous leads that visit the page and later fill out a form be assigned the acquisition program? Or should I have the change acquisition program step in the "Filled Out Form" campaign?

Hi Devraj,

Anonymous leads will not trigger smart campaigns anymore

This is not 100% correct. In fact, Marketo will replay some of the triggered campaign when the lead become known (a mechanism known as lead promotion). Not all triggered campaign will be replayed though. Read more here: Anonymous Lead Promotion to Known Lead – Munchkin V2 Behavior

The replay will occur chronologically with the correct date / time. 

Only specific flow steps will be processed, though. Namely:

  • Change Score
  • Interesting Moment
  • Change Data Value
  • Add to List
  • Remove from List

So the "change data value" on acquisition program should work.

Nick,

Anonymous leads will not trigger smart campaigns anymore, so they will not execute the flow step at all. If you would like only known leads to qualify for the smart list, you can include the filter of "Lead was created".

Good points Greg, appreciate the clarification. Yes, I knew the leads would essentially replay the smart campaigns once they become known, I was just under the impression that while the lead was anonymous that they would not qualify at all.
