Split smart list into three equal parts

I have three different emails and would like to split our prospects smart list into three equal parts and send one email to one third of the list. I don't want to do an email A/B test because I don't need a winner in this scenario (it would take too long to explain.) Is there any way I can do this? Thanks in advance!

Hi there,

The best way I can think of to do this is outlined below.

  1. Create 3 static lists
  2. Create a smart campaign
    • Smart List criteria should be your whole email audience
    • In the Flow step, select "Add to List," and then click "Add Choice"
      • Next to "If" choice 1, search for "Random Sample." Select it and put "33" (one third of your list) in the blank space. Choose list A next to "List Name."
      • Add another choice for the second choice and list, and do the same as above except choose list B.
      • Choose list C next to default choice.
  3. Now you can view the 3 individual lists and see who would get which email.
  4. When ready, you can run a smart campaign to send either an email to each list (using "add choices" based on list membership), or just send one email to list A, depending on what you are trying to do!

Hope that helps!

Jamie
