Avatar

Level 2

Hi,

I need help for understand one the functionality.

We need put the delivery in flow, we have 3 options the deliveries:

  1. In tab “deliveries”, select “Email Delivery”
    • 1496927_pastedImage_6.png
  2. In tab “deliveries”, select “Recurring Delivery”
    • 1496928_pastedImage_8.png
  3. In tab “actions”, select “Delivery”
    • 1496929_pastedImage_10.png

The option 1 and 2, I can use the control group, but the option 3 I cannot use this functionality.

It is possible use this functionality whit the option 3 (“Delivery”)?

Thanks,

Jéssica

Hi Jéssica

Option 3 is Delivery Control which is not an actual delivery in itself, but is used to control some other delivery created as part of this workflow.

Imagine you have a use case to send out a delivery, wait for 10 hours and then pause the delivery sending. Later resume it again on the next day at 9 AM.

So you can use a delivery activity of type option 1or 2 and then apply wait activity of 10 hours. Follow this one with Delivery control activity (option 3) and you can pause the already running delivery.

Hope this helps.

Hi Vipul,

Right, I got it.

Thinking of another situation.

I need use this Delivery, because my HTML comes by integration, and I can use only this functionality, shown below:

But this "Delivery" only works wish "Delivery Control", right?

In this scenario, I can use the functionality with Control Group?

Thanks for help,

Hi Jessica,

Yes this activity which you have highlighted now is used to pick an existing template and then use it to create a delivery on the fly.

If you configure control group on the template itself you should be able to make use of it.

Hi Vipul,

I also thought of that solution, but when create a delivery in home, as follows:

1499612_pastedImage_0.png

1499613_pastedImage_1.png

1499616_pastedImage_4.png

The option “Control Group” not appear:

Am I doing any wrong step?

Hi Gaurang,

I was find the other solution for this problem.

But I think this is a feature of the tool.

We can not put the control group in this delivery.

Thanks you for your concern.
