Status Progression in a Program with multiple email campaigns

Each program only has one set of progression statuses, and you can't move backwards in progression.  So if a lead clicked the first email and was set to status Clicked, but then only opened the second one they will not be reset to status Opened.

So using two progression folders wouldn't make any difference since only the "highest" reached status will be visible on the program overview.

So either do as Josh Hill suggested and add more emails to each progression campaign (but make sure to specify which emails, else any Marketo email they open or click will trigger the campaign). This will show the effect of the program as a whole.

Or create a separate program for each email if you really want to see the progression for each email sent, keeping in mind that if a lead asks for a demo both emails sent will reach success status unless you specify otherwise in your different progression campaigns.

I'm interested in a response to Shawna's last question as well.

Once we have sent an email out and let the leads flow through the various progression steps in campaign folder called "Progression Folder A", do we create another campaign folder called "Progression Folder B" if we want to send out a second email? Or, do we simply go back into "Progression Folder A" and add the second email to the smart list section? And if the answer is that we simply add the second email to "Progression Folder A" should it be scheduled for "each lead can run through the flow once" or "every time"

So if I run 2 other email campaigns and they are kept in the same program, should I just track the following progression status:
Clicked
Demo
Purchased
Declined

And not:
Candidate
Sent
Opened

Good question that Sierra asked below.  I know my boss will want to know that too. 

Adding to this:

Is there a way to run a report to see folks who moved from one stage to another? A subscription report?

You should always run the campaigns inside the program they are intended for.

I always keep a separate folder inside the Program called "Progressions" which listen for the event for each progression change.

Clicked = Clicks Link in Email IS ANY (or a specific email)
Then
Change Progression  Status to Clicked

You can, of course, clone the original Program to run a similar set of campaigns.
