Static list snapshot for point-in-time campaign audience / reporting

Outcome. The exact audience a campaign was sent to gets frozen into a static list at send time, so later reporting shows who actually received it, not who happens to match the active list's filters today.

When to use it, when not to

  • UseUse before any send built off an active list, since active lists keep re-evaluating membership and will not match the send-time audience once contacts' properties change afterward.
  • UseUse when a campaign report or an audit needs to answer "who exactly got this" weeks or months later.
  • SkipDo not use for sends already built on a static list. A static list is already a fixed snapshot; there is nothing to freeze.
  • SkipDo not use this as a substitute for the Campaigns tool's own send reporting. This fiche adds a portable, filterable record; it does not replace native campaign analytics.
