Hey all, so a fun riddle - when preparing for a save the date or invitation mailing, our special events team will often edit the list after it has been pulled (adding and removing names). As a result, we can't promote at time of extraction. We could promote the list as a whole (what used to be done), but I want to promote the segments as separate sources.
As of now, I re-run the extraction - I find the difference between the original list and the final list, add any additions and suppress any removals. Because there is also a time lag, I also re-extract the list and find the differences between the original list and the re-extracted list to see who to suppress or add.
Does anyone know of/has anyone found a better way to handle this?
Thanks in advance!

Hi Carla,
We important the final list and promote that to the record and add the activity/event invites. We also retain the original extraction in case we want to isolate the source of the patron's addition to the list.
Is there a reason or business practice that you want to promote their invitation from different sources? Event levels or something of that nature that could be managed another way?
