A/B testing lets you route contacts between two active sequence variants to compare outcomes.

01

Requirements

Before enabling A/B:

  • Primary sequence is created
  • Variant B sequence exists
  • Both sequences have at least one step
  • Variant B is active when executing
02

Configuration

In Sequence Settings:

  1. Enable A/B test.
  2. Select Variant B Sequence.
  3. Set Split Percentage (1-99%) for Variant B.

Example: 30% means 30% of enrolled contacts go to B and 70% stay in A.

03

How Assignment Works

During API/internal execution enrollment, each contact is assigned:

  • Variant A (primary sequence)
  • Variant B (configured variant sequence)

Assignment is random using your split percentage.

04

Operational Notes

  • If Variant B is inactive or has no steps, enrollment is blocked.
  • Keep variant names explicit (for example, Post-Visit vA and Post-Visit vB).
  • Change only one major variable at a time (timing, message style, channel order).
05

Measurement Tips

Track differences in:

  • Completion rate
  • Review conversion
  • Detractor resolution speed
  • Response quality

Use Reports Overview and sequence metadata to compare outcomes over a meaningful sample size.
