Hey folks, I’m setting up a workflow for an 8-email drip sequence and want to A/B test the first email, as I’ve created two variants. Is there a way or condition that can randomly split the audience into two paths?

Hi @PMishra16,

If you just want to A/B test the first email, I would recommend this setup: [Automate A/B email testing with workflows](https://knowledge.hubspot.com/workflows/automate-ab-emails-with-workflows)

Alternatively, when you add a branch in a workflow (click + sign below enrollment criteria, then select branch in left sidebar), you can choose a random split: [Use branches in workflows](https://knowledge.hubspot.com/workflows/use-if-then-branches-in-workflows)

Best regards
