evenFLOW Daily Limit
What it is
evenFLOW mails a fixed number of recipients a day from the campaign's mailing list. In the campaign wizard it's the A few each day trigger, under Spread out (evenFLOW). You set the daily rate (e.g., 50 a day) and evenFLOW works down the list at that pace.
When it reaches the end of the list, what happens depends on Start over at the end of the list:
- On - it keeps cycling through the list without stopping.
- Off - once everyone has been mailed, it waits for new recipients and mails them as they're added.
note
evenFLOW has a second trigger, Throughout the year, which gives each recipient a set number of cards a year (1 to 12), spread out evenly. Choose it when you want a fixed yearly frequency per person rather than a daily pace.
How to set it up
- Go to Campaigns in the sidebar, open the campaign (the mailing list) you want to mail, and click Add action.
- Who: confirm the mailing list.
- What: pick a creative with both a front and a message, or use Separate front & message.
- When: under Spread out (evenFLOW), choose A few each day, then enter Recipients a day (1 to 100).
- Turn Start over at the end of the list on or off.
- Optionally, under After mailing, turn on Move each recipient to another list after mailing and choose a list.
- Review: check the summary, name the action, then click Start action (and confirm) or Save paused.
- On the campaign's page, use the action's menu → Preview to see how the next card will print. The Projected sends, next 12 months chart shows how many pieces the action is likely to mail each month.
Tips & best practices
- Calculate your daily limit to complete the list within your target window. A list of 500 at 20/day completes in 25 days.
- Combine with Move each recipient to another list after mailing to build a rolling engagement filter: recipients who are mailed move to another list.
