Workflow combining 2 different subscriptions and joining with union - Topology?

[MarioGlad]

Masters of Adobe Campaign,

I know it may look trivial, but I would like to follow the correct lead. I am attempting to combine 2 different subscriptions, which brings 2 different audience sizes on a workflow level in Adobe Campaign. The results set of both subscriptions are the same/homogenous. Before the delivery/email, I use Union to combine it and the deduplication node to avoid duplicates. Is this the right way to go? Thank you to all for the past ideas and solutions.

Hi Mario,

That should be fine as if you are getting desired results .

Hi,

The deduplication is unnecessary, unless you want to add new deduplication logic on top of the output.

Union activity doesn't behave the same as sql union (append)- it deduplicates based on Reconciliation as defined in activity (default pk).

Thanks,
