Can you add a feature that would allow us send email based on receivers' local time zones under the "schedule tab" without creating programs?

It would great to be able to schedule when a trigger campaign should turn on and off.

There are many events in which having an unlimited amount of attendees could be a huge logistical problem. I'd love a way to cap the amount of attendees and automatically switch the landing page to a closed registration when registrations have hit its cap. Basically - "If list count = X, then show X landing page" This was also discussed in this thead: http://community.marketo.com/MarketoDiscussionDetail?id=90650000000PFSGAA4

It would be great to see a list of places throughout a program where your program tokens are being used. Even if there was some way to run an audit to do the same thing that would work as well. This would help to know if tokens are no longer being used or to see if there are any other places it is being used that are not initially apparent.

That would be pretty sweet.

I think it would be good to have time stamp or properties info for each element on Marketo. For example, for each Smart List or List under Lead Database, it should have info about who created the list, when created, last updated, last updated by etc. This will give very good transparency for multiple users. This will definitely help! Sarat

This has been brought up in discussions, but I couldn't find an idea to vote on so here it is. The "Send Alert" flow action already has this functionaility (To Other Emails:), I would like to be able to do the same thing on the "Send Email" flow so I can send messages to users and CC someone else, in this case their specific account manager. Our particular business reason is for an introductory email from the CEO to all new customers. Imagine it like this: From: ceo@symform.com To: <new customer> CC: <account manager> Hi <new customer first name>, Thanks for joining our fast-growing community! I want to introduce you to your account manager, <account manager full name> who is copied on this email. <account manager first name> will be your primary point of contact and is happy to help with whatever you need. Etc, etc, etc This would make it easy for the user to reply all to the email and would actually help make the message seem more personal.

The new guided landing page templates are great as it enable significant improvement in template dynamics through variables and also reduce errors with the use of elements. Would you please add the same functionality to email (text, snippet and image elements would be needed, as well as variables) ? It would be also cool to add the same kind of functionality that I collected for the landing page enhancement idea ( ) : Add toggle variables that can really remove sections from the template, not just hide them Add drop lists to text variables done with the editor 2.0 Add drop lists to color variables. We could even use a color palette for color variables, being set by the admin. see Have token picklist for variables, so that when one want to use a token in a variable, he/she can pick and existing token, instead of having to type it or paste it from somewhere else. See Enable minimum scripting to leverage boolean or text variable. for instance, I would have a text variable with 3 possible values and 3 zones. depending on the value in the text variable, only 1 of the 3 zones would appear. Again, toggles have to remove the code, not just hide it Enable to set min and max sizes for images (in pixels), to avoid users to set images either too big (and therefore too heavy to download) or too small. It is important that one can set min / max width, but leave height free, though. See Enable to set max length for text variables Have the "Replace HTML" function to be controlled as a right in roles. Have variable to display (in the email editor) in the order they are created and not in a Marketo arbitrary order. Usually, the designer will create them in an order that makes sense for the future user. Marketo show them in a order than apparently depends on the type of the variable. Have dependent variable, similar to the visibility rules in the Forms 2.0 Enable to switch to external path for images and in this case prompt for image URL (Let's say I want to reuse an image from my web site...) Repeating regions. See Guided Landing Page Enhancement: Repeating Region Plain text regions. See Guided Landing Page Enhancement: Plain Text. Make variables "segmentable" (so that we could change color, change a title or make a region visible or not, based on segment). Authorize 2 elements to have the share the same content. In which case they would exactly have the same content and Marketo would control that they are of the same type. The use case of this is that I may have 2 images, one appearing on certain devices and the other appearing on other devices, with a different placement. I would have to enter it once only and the system would make sure that both zones remain identical. Make templates being developed at 2 levels, the template itself, that include the overall frameworks and styles, and also template sub elements, that can be added, placed and reordered freely by the user. See Building modular email templates with snippets (Thx Benjamin Arndt ). This could also be achieved with reorderable regions, that together with repeating and removables with toggles would provide the same level of functionality. Preprocess emails and inline all styles before sending. See Thx Brice Dunwoodie My 2 cents, Greg

[Please add your comments below to help build a strong case] Since the FORMS 2.0 idea from Glen Lipka has long been lost, it's time to bring it back and get it on the agenda. It only been raised as an issue for 3 years and more than 2 versions of this community. Even one of recent ideas from the community for the Amazing Race Idea was for form improvements: Form Widgets!. Basically Forms need to be come way easier without manipulation through code. There are a lot of small improvements that could be made to the form functionality that would be a great benefit to clients without access to a web developer skill set. At one time or another, I have had marketers request most of the following list of form improvements: support for HTML5 form elements allow pre-population on a field by field basis as a form designer attribute allow text fields to optionally concatenate the new value with the existing data field masking for phone, sin number etc. add real-time (onblur) validation, validation test conditions and contextual error msgs email regex, min and max for numbers etc. phone with or without extention domain name for spam exclusion - i.e. mickmouse@example.com a@a.com alpha-only for names/text fields Automatic formating for proper case including whitespace trimming better positioning of the field label and error msg more form layouts in terms of 2-3 columns layouts as well as fields that can span the columns more control over the submit button: its style/image dynamic button text both before and after click text to make the form reusable on more that one landing page within the landing page editor enable/disable submit based upon required fields/validation provide more advanced type of controls: date pickers, sliders (range), dropdowns (combobox) with icons, option groups etc. better support for checkboxes/radio with multi-select dependant selections or skip logic i.e. country/state and surveys geo-ip support for country/state automatic detection and support for iframes to get parent parameters, adjust the form's target = _top etc. better (dynamic) follow up options - new windows, dynamic redirect based upon other form fields, parameters or cookies Allow fields from SFDC objects other than contact and lead Forms have been one of the least attended to areas of Marketo; it has literally been years since any significant improvements have been made while the competition has not been standing still waiting. Below is a small list for just from this version of community: Multi Select in the Values Drop Down Better design of Forms! Form Widgets! Better Usability for forms Prefill country and state fields An easier way to set up 2 column forms Can certain form fields span columns? Check Boxes on Forms Conditional Logic for Forms Customizing Submit Button Links In Form Labels Forms - Need A Multiple Select Check Box Option Forms - Need A Multiple Select Check Box Option

When you have many campaigns running, it can be difficult to know which emails will be delivered on what day. I'd like to see a calendar, like that in Outlook, showing which emails will go out at what time on each day. That will make it easier to avoid overlapping emails and spot gaps in communication.

We really need Marketo to provide better functionality with regards to mobile-enabled landing pages. A series of mobile-sized landing page wireframe templates would be a good starting point. So many of our prospective customers are accessing our sites via smart phones, and with Facebook's forthcoming mobile ad platform soon to go mainstream, 'mobile-sized landing pages' seems to be a big missing piece in the Marketo jigsaw. What are Marketo's plans in this area?

It would be great to have integration between Marketo and Poll Daddy and/or Survey Monkey

Dan_Stevens_ · ‎03-14-2015

Per the discussion thread that I started here, Marketo Support confirmed back to me that the email editor does not retain specific code in the <head> of the template; and strips out specific conditional code (media queries) that are essential especially for responsive emails. Please fix this so that our code is not being rewritten or stripped from our email templates. I know there already is an idea (since 2013) that is specific to stripping out conditional code within the HTML. This idea covers more than just the conditional code. So please don't merge this with that idea. Our template: <!DOCTYPE html PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD XHTML 1.0 Transitional//EN" " http://www.w3.org/TR/xhtml1/DTD/xhtml1-transitional.dtd "> <html xmlns=" http://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml " xmlns:v="urn:schemas-microsoft-com:vml" xmlns:o="urn:schemas-microsoft-com:office:office"> <head> Marketo rewrite: <!DOCTYPE HTML PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD HTML 4.01 Transitional//EN" " http://www.w3.org/TR/html4/loose.dtd "> <html> <head> Our template: <meta http-equiv="X-UA-Compatible" content="IE=edge" /> <meta name="viewport" content="width=device-width, initial-scale=1">  Marketo rewrite: completely stripped out. Basically, Marketo is stripping out any conditional code that starts with "<!--[if gte mso 9]>"

Dear Marketo, PLLLLEEEASSSE give us the ability to open assets/smart campaigns and most importantly the "admin" section to be opened in a new tab. It's super annoying to click on something, realize you need the pevious window as well, go back to the original page, open "marketing activities" in another tab and then go to the asset that you orginally wanted.

I would love to see a set of reports around the usage and performance of Sales Insight emails. This will allow me to have a dialogue with my sales team about which email templates are resonating with our market. Right now I can measure emails sent by marketing, but it would be nice to have an aggregate (and detail) report of how the Sales Insight templates are doing.

Would be great if Marketo opened a new window whenever we need to change something in the admin area. Thanks!

I want to chat with my other Marketers while we're all logged in!

Currently, per the doc, variables can have only 1 value for the whole email. The consequence is that if the variable is used in a module, and the module is inserted more than once in the template, the various instances of the module will always have the same variable value. Let's say you want to use two variable do define a CTA (CTA text + URL), are you sure you want all the CTAs in your email pointing to the same page? This idea is to enable a variable to have a different value for each module in which the variable is used. This would take the form or an mktModuleValue = true or false attribute in the variable definition. If set to true, the variable could have a different value in each module. The false value (default) would just work as the variables do currently. -Greg

Hi, this may sound trivial but it would be great if when you click on admin, this opens a new tab instead of loading the current page. I have to each time think of opening a tab and then click on admin. Cécile @ Talend
