Add Hourly Recurrence Frequency to Batch Smart Campaigns

Pretty self-explanatory. I have a batch smart campaign that I need to run every hour on a daily basis with no end date. Since "hour" is not a frequency option, I had to create 24 recurring batch smart campaigns to achieve this result. I'd much prefer to manage this through on smart campaign, as opposed to 24!

Marketo should be able to support this need.

I think the frequency of firing off batch campaigns should be unique to each Marketo instance. As @Wyatt Bales​ says 'once every 3 hours' works for them, Marketo should be able to provide that flexibility for each instance.

From experience, Marketo's ability to trigger off-of Account updates isn't 100% reliable. However, batch campaigns are more accurate when qualifying records based on Account-level fields. Currently we're facing issues with Opp constraints preventing triggers from working but yet batch campaigns work (there's a Support case open). I understand have an hourly campaign isn't ideal from a system perspective but a "once every 3 hours" option would be great at least.

It will help us evaluate this idea if you explain the use case a bit. What is the campaign doing every hour?

I have a series of batch campaigns set up to clear two MQL fields (check box and a date stamp) when certain scenarios take place: we're able to identify the company isn't a fit, bad location fit, etc.
