Custom random splits / flexible random splits in workflow branches

karstenkoehler

Currently, in a random split branch in workflow, HubSpot enforces an equal distribution. It's not possible to adjust the percentage:

It would be great if it was possible to adjust these percentages, the same way that list splits are allowing for custom / flexible splits:

Thank you for considering this request!

This is much needed, when we run AB tests we want to also be able to rank against a 10% control group.

This will solve a lot of pain in lot of places! also, if hubspot can allow by teams that would great an extra added feature!

I assumed we could adjust the percentages as I've used this w/ an equal split w/ a few workflows.  Then I had one where I wanted to adjust the percentages manually and learned this wasn't possible.  While not perfect and it lacks some granularity, I created a random distribution branch in my workflow with 10 branches.  Branches 1, 2, 3 and 4 held the main work flow.  I directed branch 5,6 to branch 1 thus giving this a 30% chance of hitting branch 1.  Branch 7,8 pointed to 2.  And 9, 10 pointed to 3 which gave me the distribution i was looking for: 30%, 30%, 30% and 10%.  Ideal?  No, but it works.

Nice workaround @TeddyRuxpin

This is necessary

This seems necessary and logical seeing as you can already use preset, equal percentage splits.

This would be extremely useful.

100%!!!!!!!!!!! Generally A/B testing is done with a small portion of customers (ie 10%) to start off with. To get that type of split, we have to separate each email into x10 versions to get that type of split. And that's for one email in a workflow. What if we have 2+ emails in a workflow??.. the number of branches exponentially grows and becomes unusable!

 

PLEASE can we get customisable random distribution options! Pleeeeease!!!!!! (and thank you).

I fully support this idea! 💪

 

In our lead assignment process, we need flexible weighted splits to ensure a fair assignment of new leads. Currently, we’re forced to use custom code for a weighted lead rotation – which works, but adds unnecessary complexity and makes maintenance harder.

 

A native feature for weighted random splits (including custom percentages) would make these workflows far more reliable, scalable, and accessible for teams who manage lead assignment.
