Greetings, I am working on the Create and Send Message portion of the Marketing Cloud Next Email Sending Essentials

badge and am encountering an issue where I created a segment and correctly assigned it to leads and published.

However, when I submit the badge to pass, I get an error 

The audience segment for your start trigger is not set to Lead.

     I’m leaving the solution here just in case this happens to anyone else. After trying a thousand and one things, I had finally given up; I deleted campaigns, segments, and flows (which I had already done before). Then, I just decided to give it one more shot (I had probably tried at least 8 times already) and this time it actually worked. Don't ask me why, it just worked, so just keep trying.
