Engagement Programs - A/B Testing

Do you have the campaign in a program? It has to be in a program to be added to the stream, and only one per program. So if you need to make 9 different campaigns to do A/B testing on 18 different emails, you need to make 9 different programs.

Also, check and make sure that the smart campaign criteria (smart list) is something that will pull the leads in (ex: member of engagement program: prospects, stream: early).

Then be sure and activate the program in the stream.

Hope this helps!

Ok so I scheduled the AB test campaign to run once (because I have no clue how to properly set it so that I can add it to an engagement stream).

That did not work--I still cannot add it to the engagement stream.

Then I cloned the campaign and set it up to run a recurrent schedule of 'daily'--that did not work either--I cannot add it to the stream.

Can someone please tell me what I'm doing wrong here? I cannot find any clear documentation. My first email in a series of 9 that I'm trying to build this stream for is my AB test. If I can't get the first one in there, then I can't get the remaining 8, and I still have to test to see if this even works!! HELP!!

I've created a smart campaign as you described above and have a flow step to split test an email. 

How am I supposed to add this to the stream? I tried to drag it and add it through choosing the program but can do neither. I don't understand how to do this?
--do I schedule the campaign and then add it? If so, what schedule to do I set it to if I want it to run on the stream cadence I've set for the engagement program?
--do I activate all of the content on the stream in order to activate the program so that the unscheduled smart campaign will appear as a choice?
--does my smart campaign have to have a trigger instead of a filter in the smart list criteria? If so, what trigger should I use?

Thanks for your help.

Is there a way to test A/B programs with the "Test Stream" functionality?  It runs though emails just fine, but when it hits a program's A/B smart campaign I get the following in the results tab: 'Do Nothing' was set for this choice, 1 leads skipped. 

You cannot pull 2 campaigns from the same program into a stream.  To do the AB Test, you would need to use a single campaign, with random sample in Add Choice.

It looks like if you try to use two smart campaigns from the same program, it rejects it and says it's duplicate. Do we need a program for each smart campaign to go into the stream?

Hi Emily, I just drag the campaign over from the left-hand tree and, VOILA!  Everything is done from there... you'll see the program in the stream.  So, just activate and you're good.

What's the best way to reference the program name within the stream since the A/B testing smart camaign isn't activated? 

Yes, and this program is referenced on the stream.
