Score decay triggering MQL - How do I stop this from happening?

Hi everyone!

We have a score decay smart campaign running that subtracts 20 pts if a lead has no activity over a certain period of time. However, if that lead has a status of "recycle" and the -20pts still has them over the threashold of an MQL, they automatically get MQL-ed again triggering an alert to the sales rep. The MQL campaign is triggered by score is changed, new value is over 70pts.

Is there a smartlist filter I can add or something else I can do to prevent score decay being picked up be the MQL campaign?

Thanks in advance for your help!

Hi Lia,

Instead of focusing on the score decay campaign campaign, change the MQL'ing campaign. 2 ways of doing this :

  • Add a filter to the MQL campaign that filters out leads that already MQL, SQL or Opportunity (and any other criteria that you see fit)
  • For your MQL campaign, use a "Data Value Change" trigger instead of the "Score is changed". The "Data Value Changed" can have 2 constraints that will enable you to fire the campaign only for leads that cross he threshold in the up way:
    • New value as least [Threshold]
    • Previous value less than [Threshold]

Hey Lia,

Another thing to consider if you don't need the higher scores for a particular reason (Score in range N go to place X, scores in range N+1 go to place Y) you may want to consider trimming the top of your scale when you recycle a lead-- so it goes down to a point below your MQL threshold.

    Hey Lia,

    I had a similar issue I ran into for my score based MQL rules. The way I got around that was by checking when their last activity occurred. Since I have my score decay get triggered if they have no activity in 30 days, I added some filters to my MQL rules checking for an activity in the last 29 days.
