Random Sample

I'm trying to set up a campaign to slowly change scores one day apart.

If I have a flow of...

1. Change Score

-Choice 1: Random Sample = 10% Change Score =70

2. Wait 1 day

3. Change Score

-Choice 1: Random Sample = 10% Change Score =70

Will flow step 3 choose a purely random sample of 10% or 10% that haven't  been chosen in flow step 1?

It sounds like you actually want a single Flow step with choices, to ensure the whole list is covered. For example, a randomized step that adds each cohort to a different list.

Then trigger on Add to List to and have Wait steps there for how long each group should wait.

Hey Amanda,

I agree with Sanford and think you can do this with two smart campaigns and 10 static lists (one list for each sample).

Smart campaign #1

Flow: Add to List

- Choice 1: If Random Sample = 10% add to List 1

- Choice 2: If Random Sample = 10% add to List 2

- Choice 3: If Random Sample = 10% add to List 3

Smart campaign #2

Smart List: Added to list (include all 10 lists)

Flow: Change Score

- Choice 1: If was added to list 1 change score =70

- Choice 2: If was added to list 2 change score =70

- Choice 3: If was added to list 3 change score =70

    Hey Amanda,

    The third flow step will choose a random sample of all people who reach step three, which in this set up will include those who are part of the random sample in step one.

    Which is the outcome you'd like - to ensure that first random sample is included or to ensure that they are excluded?

      Ah, that's right. I'd like to exclude those that were in the 1st flow step from the the 3rd flow step.
