Firing a smart campaign within an engagement stream?

I'm using a program within an engagement stream for the first time and something isn't obvious. The engagement stream is set to run every two weeks. I've put a filtered smart campaign in the stream to determine what happens to who, but how does the smart campaign fire? Normally its run once, or scheduled, but when its nested inside an engagement stream does the fact that the stream is set to fire on a certain date at a certain time initiate the smart campaign or do I need to set the smart campaign to fire at the same time and date as the engagement stream in order for it to run?

Thanks

Hi Robert,

If you've put a nested program into a nurture stream when you add the program you can select what smart campaign will fire based on the actions.  So, set up the smart campaign but don't activate it.  The engagement program will do this for you.

Thanks Juli, I read that document but (IMHO) it didnt make it 100% clear, hence my question - I've since then checked it out and you're absolutely right. Thanks.

Hi Robert,

this question belongs to "products" where it will be more likely to get an answers. See ** PLEASE READ BEFORE POSTING YOUR MARKETO PRODUCT QUESTIONS HERE **

What do you mean by a smart campaign in the stream? Does that mean that you created a smart campaign in the Engagement program?
