Filtering/Getting recipients from Lists

[sagil23995776]

Hi,

We sometimes use Lists in Adobe Campaign in order group recipients with specific parameters instead of using database field.

Currently we have several lists (in some cases a specific recipient can be in more then one list)

Is there a way to query a set of lists in the same folder from a workflow to get all the recipients from those lists?

Alternatively is there a way to filter from a workflow recipients that exist in one or more of those lists?

Thanks,

Sagi

Hi Sagi,

Try to use a query and change the filtering and targeting dimension to List and then form a query like :

But the problem is this will only give you lists inside that folder and not the contents of all those lists.

Another way , I can think of doing this is through read-list activity by using the "name computed by a script" option. Here you get the option of selecting a folder and select lists present in the folder via the template.

Try this and it might work for you.

Thanks Adhiyan,

I've tried it but it doesn't work it can only get a name of a specific list and load only that one.

Hi Sagi,

You need to follow the given steps to get this working.

1. Change the target dimension in the query to nms:rcpGrpRel(Recipient List Content), if you created a custom schema, you can select that as well.

Refer to screen below for reference.

2. Use a filtering condition and sector list folder internal name to your list folder.

3. You will get the content of all list under that folder.

4. if you want to send an email to this, use change dimension or use a custom target mapping.

Hope this helps.

Hi Amit,

Thank you for your help, I've tried your suggestion and I saw I'm only getting 1 list out of 8.
Apparently it only works when the list type is 'Group', when the type of the list is 'List' then it won't collect the content

So if we choose to use a 'List Update' in a workflow and selecting 'Create or use a list with its own table' then the list is automatically created with type 'List'.

Is there a way to change the type?

Thanks,

Hi Sagi,

It looks like you have a custom schema. OOTB schema group is used as list there is no list schema.

You need to post your schema structure here or understand that how that works in your system.

Hi,

I've copied the custom lists into a OOTB schema group so it works now.

Thanks,
