Send Time Optimisation for Engagement Programs

Question

Marketo doesn't offer an out-of-the-box feature, like simpler platforms such as Mailchimp, for customising or optimising email send times based on audience metrics or individual engagement. While the A/B test feature for send times offers insights for campaign scheduling, we're exploring automated processes that adjust with each interaction.

We're currently testing an approach using lead scores and webhooks to identify a contact’s most frequent open timeframe and send emails via nested programs based on their allocated timeframe. However, I'm curious to know what strategies others in the Marketo community have tried.

Does anyone have experience with deploying effective approaches to automate and update send times for contacts continuously?

Hi @brodieal,Yes, Marketo Engage does not have any OOTB capability to optimize send time apart from A/B testing your send time.But if you have RCE add on with you subscription you can very optimize you send day & time by having an in depth analysis of all your email send programs.You can check what days of week & what time of day your leads are clicking your emails with filters on time frame.You can have more details of RCE email Analysis here.
