4. If I have more than 2000 customers/followers in my selected scenario, how does CEM select which customer/follower will get the message per scenario? Will they overlap if I use a different scenario?

As long as the customers fit the criteria described in each scenario above, they might receive messages via CEM provided that the quota permits it. There is chance that CEM messages will overlap if the message content for each scenario is the same. In addition, there is an algorithm in the back-end to ensure highest yield from selected customers to receive messages from you via CEM.
