End-user guides:: Editing active programs

End-user guides:: Editing active programs

Once you have activated a program there are a number of ways you can change the content and the workflow, depending on the state of the program. You should always pause a program before making any changes, to make sure that no contacts are being processed at the time.

See also: Editing launched emails.

If you are restricted from making the changes that you want to an active program, you always have the option to copy the program, make changes to the copy and then activate that. This will cause you to lose continuity in the reporting of the original program, but will not affect business-level reporting such as Smart Insight.

Active programs - what you can and cannot edit

We recommend that you always pause a program before making any changes to it, but if you still need to modify an active program here is what you will and will not be able to do.

When a program is active you can do the following:

  • Change the name and description.
  • Add nodes to a new path.
  • Insert new nodes into an existing path.

We do not recommend inserting new nodes into an existing path because it can distort your program's reporting.

  • Change the end date in the scheduling.
  • Change the exit criteria.
  • Choose different forms, segments and/or emails.
  • Edit the content of the form, or the filter conditions of the segment.
  • Edit the content of emails used in recurring batch programs.
  • Edit the content of emails used in transactional programs.

We do not recommend editing the content of emails used in transactional programs because as a result your program may be put into failsafe mode. For example, if you change the content of such an email and the Send email node is followed by a Didn't click link node, then the link tracked by this node will be broken.

When a program is active you cannot do the following:

  • Remove nodes you have already saved.
  • Change the start date in the scheduling.
  • Change the participation settings.

After activating a program that starts with the Target segment entry point, you cannot modify any of the nodes in it, including disabling or enabling them.

When editing active programs take the following into consideration:

  • Any validation errors caused by changes you make to a program will cause the save to fail, but not undo the changes, so you will still have to address them.
  • A save cannot be undone if you accidentally save unwanted changes, but before saving you do have the option to discard all changes.
  • Changing the program may change the customer journey and may make the reporting inconsistent before and after the change. We do encourage you to experiment and optimize your engagement strategies, but always keep in mind that some contacts may be caught by your changes in mid-journey.

Editing scheduled programs

When a program is active but scheduled, you can edit it as described above for active programs, and also do the following:

  • Change the start date in the scheduling.
  • Change the participation settings.
  • Edit the content of the email.

Pausing and freezing programs

It is recommended that you always pause a program before you edit it, to minimize the risk of disruption for any of the contacts in it. There are two ways to do this:

  • You can pause a program or
  • You can freeze a program.

Editing paused programs

When a program has been paused you can change the description and settings of all nodes This includes:

  • Changing the Wait settings (this will not affect contacts already queued by the node - see below for details).
  • Selecting a different email, segment or event.
  • Changing the settings of a quick filter.

In addition to this, if the program was scheduled rather than active when you paused it, you can also edit the settings as described above.

Editing finished programs

Once a program has finished you will not be able to edit any part of it. If you want to reuse the program with some modifications, you will have to copy the program, modify it and then activate the copy.

Editing individual nodes

If you want to change the item selected in a node, such as a form or an email, you can deselect it by opening the properties dialog, clicking Select and then OK without selecting anything. This will clear any previous selection. 

The deselected item will only be available for selection elsewhere once you have saved the program.

Editing Wait nodes

When you change the settings on a Wait node, this change will not affect the contacts already waiting; they will be held for the original length of time. All subsequent contacts arriving at the node will be held for the new duration.

Adding new nodes or paths

If a program is active you can only add a new node to it by adding a new path; you cannot add one into an existing path.

Disabling nodes

Wherever you can see the Enabled/Disabled toggle, you can disable a node. This is available in most of the Channels nodes.

When you disable a node, contacts will simply pass straight through it as if it were not there. You can enable it again at any time.
