Be careful when scheduling messages with the same deployment time!

Yikes, we had a problematic issue when scheduling two messages for the same delivery time.

Message 1 was to event ticket-purchasers using send-to Tag-A, using the Master List.

Message 2 was to non-ticket-purchasers using exclude Tag-A, using the Master List.

Constant Contact sent both messages to Tag-A!!

Thankfully it didn't send to exclude Tag-A, but bad enough as it was.

 

After talking to Support I was told there is an issue when scheduling simultaneous sends to the same list using the same tag. The system will use the same tag logic for both sends(!?). I was also told this was being addressed -- I certainly hope so.

Thank you for the thread, the devs are still looking into this issue and troubleshooting it. If and when they have an update regarding it, they'll notify you directly.
