The pipelines for the Push Marketing Lists pipeline batch are located in your tenant, in Pipelines/Push Marketing Lists, Pipelines/Email Studio, and Pipelines/Journey Builder.

Configure the batch size for a pipeline

You can configure the batch size for:

  • Any pipeline whose name starts with Add To Queue, such as Add To Queue - Audience Definitions For Creation.
