Using Random Sample with Request Campaign

Question

I have a large number of contacts (250K+) that I need to pass through a trigger campaign. If I send them all at once, it causes a backlog in the Campaign Queue.

I was thinking I could use Random Sample in a series of Request Campaign flow steps to send a chunk at a time.

Something like this:

Request Campaign
Choice 1: If Random Sample is 25% - Request Campaign X (otherwise do nothing)
Wait 1 hour
Request Campaign
Choice 1: If Random Sample is 25% - Request Campaign X (otherwise do nothing)
Wait 1 hour
Request Campaign
Choice 1: If Random Sample is 25% - Request Campaign X (otherwise do nothing)
Wait 1 hour
Choice 1: If Random Sample is 25% - Request Campaign X (otherwise do nothing)

Would that effectively split the large list into 4 parts and send one group per hour?

@dhig23 You should always use 'Random Sample' in your backend - meaning you should use Random Sample in a separate campaign to add your leads to a list. You can then use 'Member of List' as a choice to request the campaign. This way you know exactly who is going at what time as well!
