Create a Program to house everything 3. Create a Static List 4. Create two Smart Campaigns Smart Campaign One - Logging Email Bounces with Bounce Details Smart Campaign Two - Remove Leads From the List After Successful Deliveries 5. Create Custom List View Showing Bounce Details Overview Bounce activities carry details for why the email was bounced, but it’s housed within the activity log entry, not in a field on the lead record, so it’s difficult to export that data. This article will show you how to extract that information to create a directory of leads bouncing emails and how to make the list automatically update. This will also create counters for bounces and successful re-deliveries after bounces happen. Data you’ll get from Email Bounces Bounce Categories Email bounces come in different types depending on why the email was bounced; Hard Bounces or Soft Bounces. Hard Bounces Hard Bounces come in two types, Category 1 and Category 2. Category 1 bounces are emails that have been marked as spam by the recipient mail server. Many email servers monitor blacklists or spam traps, so after de-listing with them, leads that have had a Category 1 bounce previously may be able to receive emails again. Category 2 bounces occur due to an email address that is invalid or doesn’t exist. Soft Bounces Soft Bounces come in three different types, Categories 3, 4 or 9. Category 3 bounces are usually temporary, caused by full mailboxes, timeouts, or throttling. Any email with this designation has been retried for up to 24 hours (36 for AOL). Category 4 bounces are caused by technical problems, Transient Failures, Admin Failures, DNS Failures. Any email with this designation has been retried for up to 24 hours (36 for AOL). Category 9 bounces are unknown, undetermined or gibberish details. Any email with this designation has been retried for up to 24 hours (36 for AOL). Bounce Details When an email is bounced, the recipient mail server includes details of why it was bounced. These are created by the admin of the recipient mail server and vary greatly, but most will give some explanation that can give valuable information. Email Bounce Codes Building the Directory 1. Create 6 custom fields You’ll need 6 custom fields, two DateTime fields, two Score fields, and two String fields Name the DateTime fields “Bounce Date” and “Email Delivered After Bounce”. Name the Score fields “Email Bounces” and “Deliveries After Bounces” Name the String fields “Email Bounce Details” and “Email Bounce Category” Directions for creating Custom Fields can be found here: Create a Custom Field in Marketo 2. Create a Program to house everything Use a default program type and name it "Directory of Leads Bouncing Emails". Info on creating programs can be found here: Create a Program 3. Create a Static List This static list will be your actual directory that contains all of the leads that are currently bouncing emails. Name it "Active Bounce List". Info on creating a static list can be found here: Create a Static List 4. Create two Smart Campaigns These two Smart Campaigns are what will be used to add and remove leads from your active bounce list. Info on creating Smart Campaigns can be found here: Create a New Smart Campaign Smart Campaign One - Logging Email Bounces with Bounce Details Your first Smart Campaign will be used to listen for any email bounces that occur. The campaign will populate the “Bounce Date”, “Email Bounce Category” and “Email Bounce Details” fields. It will then add one point to the “Email Bounces” score field which can be used to count how many bounces have occurred per lead. Lastly, the campaign will add the lead to the static list which will be an active directory of leads who are bouncing emails. Campaign Smart List Use the two triggers of “Email Bounces” and “Email Bounces Soft” in the Smart List. Set both triggers to “is any” so that they will fire whenever any email bounces for any reason. Campaign Flow The Flow of the campaign will have 5 flow steps. The flow will use a System Token and some Trigger Tokens, which can be used to pull details out of the action that activated the trigger. In this case, the Trigger Tokens will be pulling out the details on why the emails were bounced. That info is in the bounce message and is logged in the lead's activity log. Normally you'd have to comb through the activity log one at a time to find these details for each individual lead. This method, however, will pull the details out automatically for all leads. Flow Step 1: Change Data Value Attribute: “Bounce Date” New Value: {{system.dateTime}} Flow Step 2: Change Data Value. Attribute: “Email Bounce Category” New Value: {{trigger.category}} Flow Step 3: Change Data Value Attribute: “Email Bounce Details” New Value: {{trigger.details}} Flow Step 4: Change Score Score Name: “Email Bounces” Change: +1 Flow Step 5: Add to List List Name: “Active Bounce List” Smart Campaign Two - Remove Leads From the List After Successful Deliveries Campaign Smart List The Smart List of the campaign will need a trigger for “Email is Delivered” set to “is any” and also a filter of “Member of List” looking just for leads that belong to your Static List. This way, the campaign will only apply to leads who have had an email bounce but have then had an email successfully delivered afterwards. Campaign Flow The Flow of the campaign will have 3 flow steps to do the following; log when the email was delivered, add a point to the "Deliveries After Bounce" Score Field, and remove the lead from the "Active Bounce List". Flow Step 1: Change Data Value Attribute: “Email Delivered After Bounce” New Value: {{system.dateTime}} Flow Step 2: Change Score Score Name: “Deliveries After Bounces” Change: +1 Flow Step 3: Remove from List List Name: Operational.Active Bounce List 5. Create Custom List View Showing Bounce Details The custom fields you’ve created for email bounce information won’t show automatically in the view of your list. You can create a new view of the list to show just this information so that when it is exported it will give you only the email bounce information you need. Once the list has the necessary details, it can be exported with those columns included so that you can work with it. You can identify emerging trends and issues with your deliverability by looking for common themes among the bounce details. Directions for creating Custom Views can be found here

Article Text Using URL parameters are an important way to organize your web analytics and tracking. With Marketo Web Personalization, when a web visitor clicks on a personalized Web Campaign we add a parameter to the URL. This parameter is "?iesrc=ctr". Having this parameter allows you to report on your web analytics to see and compare all the clicks on Web Personalization campaigns and overall performance of your personalization strategy. The Marketo Predictive Content application also includes a URL parameter every time a visitor clicks on predictive content (from the bar, rich media or email). The URL parameter used here is "?iesrc=rcmd". You can also add your own UTM parameters to the URL link you have in your Web Personalization Campaign or your Predictive Content piece. The most common URL parameter tools we see customers using is the Google Analytics tool. In their words "This tool allows you to easily add campaign parameters to URLs so you can track Custom Campaigns in Google Analytics. See: Campaign URL Builder — Google Analytics Demos & Tools". Make sure to follow the best practices: Best Practices for creating Custom Campaigns - Analytics Help

Article Text Image: Step Flow for Predictive Content for Web and Email What is Auto Content Discovery? This post explains the first part of the flow image above: discovering, mapping and tracking your content assets. Content Discovery is used in the Predictive Content app to auto-discover all the content assets (videos, pdf, blog posts, press releases, white papers, etc.) on a website/domain. Once discovered, you have the ability to see how your content is performing and to decide which pieces of content should be prepared, approved and enabled for the Predictive Content outcomes on web (either in the recommendation bar or rich media) and email. Setting up Predictive Content and Content Discovery See Set Up Docs: http://docs.marketo.com/display/public/DOCS/Getting+Started+with+Predictive+Content Steps RTP Javascript tag is installed on all your web pages (Note: RTP is now called Web Personalization) Set Asset Discovery to On Asset Discovery auto-discovers extensions (PDFs, PPT, MP4, OFF, WEBM) and a click/view on embedded videos (Youtube, Vimeo, Wistia) Create URL Patterns Setting URL patterns auto-discovers content when a web visitor clicks on the HTML web page relevant to the content pattern The URL syntax pattern determines your ability to optimally use this feature (e.g., to create a pattern for press releases, your press releases should all be stored on a page identified as www.yoursite.com/press-releases/*). How is content auto-discovered? The content discovery technology uses an event listener that runs on every web page (where the RTP Javascript tag is installed) and waits for a web visitor to click on a URL link or arrive directly on that web page in a browser. If that link includes an extension (PDF, ppt, embedded video) or matches the URL pattern defined, then it will be discovered and added to the All Content page in the Predictive Content app. Only content pieces that a web visitor interacted with (clicked on or viewed) once the RTP Javascript tag has been installed are discovered via Content Discovery. If the content is already discovered, then it will add to the tracking and views of those discovered content pieces. You can also manually add new content to be listed and tracked in the All Content page. Image: All Content Page in the Predictive Content app displaying and tracking all discovered content What data is discovered? Visitor Data (Used for Analytics + Predictive Algorithm) Pages Viewed - number of page views by the user in the session Visit Count for Web Visitor Last Content URL Seen Last 5 Content Assets clicked via Predictive Content that have been seen by this visitor in last 90 days Last Web Campaigns Seen - 10 last campaigns per session (within the last 5 sessions) Inferred Organization Inferred, Industry, Size, Revenue Inferred Country, State, City Search Term Content Data Extensions Video (Youtube, Vimeo, Wistia) Video Name Video URL Video Image URL PDF PDF Name PDF URL URL Patterns (HTML pages) Found via metadata of the HTML page Content Name Content URL Content Image URL Content Description What data is auto-populated during the auto-discovery phase? Based on the content data we discover, the aim is to populate as much of the Predictive Content as possible, making it quicker, easier and involving less prep work for you. However, you do still need to review the discovered content, then approve and enable it for the Predictive Source (Email, Rich Media, Recommendation Bar). Assuming we discover an HTML page defined in URL patterns, this HTML content piece will be populated in the following fields in Predictive Content: Predictive Content Fields Auto-Populated Value Notes Content Name (Content Name) Unique Value Content URL (Content URL) The URL is consistent for all sources (email, bar, rich media) Categories Video OR Category Name from URL Pattern If Video discovered, the category is populated as Video. Category populated from defined URL Pattern. e.g. Marketo.com/blog = Blog all discovered content based on this URL will receive Blog as a category Category is consistent for all sources (email, bar, rich media) Content Title (Content Name) Email Title (Content Name) Email URL (Content URL) Email Image URL (Content Image URL) Email Button Label Read More Not Auto-populated. Default is "Read More". Rich Media Title (Content Name) Rich Media URL (Content URL) Rich Media Image URL (Content Image URL) Rich Media Description (Content Description) Bar Title (Content Name) Bar URL (Content URL) Image: Example of Populating Metadata for HTML content into Predictive Content

Article Text Explanation: In RTP the tracking is session-based, similar to most web analytics tools. A session starts with the first page view and ends 30 minutes after the last click on the website. For example: Scenario RTP Result Visitor views 1 page on the website and leaves 1 visit & 1 page view Visitor views 2 pages on the website within 30 minutes and then leaves 1 visit / 2 page views Visitor views 1 page on the website, leaves, then returns 45 minutes later and views 1 page 2 visits / 2 page views

Article Text Included in this article Overview The Background The Problem The Solution Overview RTP gives a dashboard that provides lots of valuable information about your RTP instance and how everything is performing. One of the widgets in this dashboard is Top Industries. This widget is designed to give you a breakdown of the top performing industries, but sometimes the industry widget is empty: The Background When a segment is saved in RTP, it is automatically assigned a type. If the segment contains only the Industry filter, then it is assigned the 'Industry' type and is included in the Industry widget on the dashboard. So, this widget only contains information on Industry segments. If it is not an Industry segment, it will not be included here. The Problem You can obviously add more filters to the segment other than Industry. However, if the segment contains other filters, then it is assigned the 'Complex' type and is not included in the Industry widget. The only information that will display in the Industry widget is what comes from segments that use only the Industry filter and that alone. The Solution If you'd like a particular segment to display in the Industry widget, there are two options: 1. Remove the other filters other than Industry. 2. Create different additional Industry-only segments.

Article Text Included in this Article: Overview Checking for Segment Matches Reasons for not Matching Typos Non-exact Matches Overview Using segments, you can target specific organizations by using the Named Accounts attribute in the segment editor. With this attribute, you can select all organizations in a Named Account List or by manually selecting organizations. However sometimes we see one of those organizations visiting the website but it doesn't match the segment, even though it is included in the segment list. Checking for Segment Matches If a list was created manually, it's possible the organization wasn't included in the segment list in the first place. To check: Go to the Organizations tab Use the search bar to search the name of the organization in question If the organization was entered in the list correctly, it will be found through the search. If it does not appear in the search results, there are two issues that are likely to have arisen. Reasons for not Matching Typos Luckily, typos are easy to fix. Simply edit the organization's name to match the spelling you wanted it to take on. Non-exact Matches Even if an organization is spelled correctly, it will still not match the organization listed in the segment if the names aren't exactly the same. It is very common for companies to have different names for their organization. To fix these non-exact matches, you'll have to be clever about how you name your organizations. In RTP, an important character to know is the wildcard character, represented by an asterisk (*). A wildcard character will match with any character or sequence of characters For example, the string "Salesforce*" will match all three of the above spellings ("Salesforce.com", "Salesforce.com Inc.", and "Salesforce Ltd") because they all begin with "Salesforce". For more examples on how to use wildcard characters, follow this document: RTP Glossary - Marketo Docs However, you must be careful using wildcards characters, because you could potentially match organizations that you didn't intend to match. For instance, the string "Salesforce*" will not only match the three examples above, but also a company named "Salesforce Finance", a completely different company.

Article Text Included in this article Overview Include Pages Target URL Use Case Overview Target URL and Include Pages are both RTP terms that sound the same and get confused together, but they have different uses and meanings. This doc will go over what the differences between them are and how each can be used. Include Pages "Include Pages" is a filter used in Segments that will look for visitors who have been to specific pages. This filter will make the segment match for the visitor when they go to the designated page during the visitor’s session. If the visitor goes to one of the "Included Pages" during their session, then they match for the segment. Target URL "Target URL" is used in RTP Campaigns. In the campaign editor, the Target URL defines which page(s) the campaign will be displayed on. So, whenever the campaign is called by a segment, it will only be displayed on those pages specified in the Target URL area of the campaign. If the visitor is not viewing one of these specified pages, the campaign will not show. Use Case By using these together, you can create a campaign that will be displayed on your homepage (the Target URL) only if the visitor first viewed the pricing page (the Included Page). So, let's say your visitor went to the pricing page to look at Product A, then went back to your home page. You can have a campaign display info about Product A on your homepage knowing that the visitor is interested in that product already.

Article Text Included in this Article: Overview The Problem The Solution Rich Media Content Recommendation Engine Info Overview The Content Recommendation Engine (CRE) is a powerful tool that will allow you to promote online content to your visitors based on their behaviors and the performance of the content itself. When the RTP tag is used on multiple domains, it will pull in all available content regardless of which domain it's on. For some marketers, this can be a problem. The Problem With the standard Content Recommendation Engine, this is an expected behavior. You can't limit the the recommendations from one domain to stop showing up on other domains. The content being recommended will show across all domains where the RTP tag is in use. The Solution There are two types of Content Recommendation Engine. The Rich Media Content Recommendation Engine will let you get around this problem. The standard Content Recommendation Engine gives the bar along the bottom of the web page with the content recommendations in it. This recommendation engine is expected to have content extending across all domains where your RTP tag is in use. The Rich Media Content Recommendation Engine will allow you to target which content you want to have in which places by categorizing the content and specifying which categories each web page should pull from. Rich Media Content Recommendation Engine Info For directions on how to utilize the Rich Media Content Recommendation Engine, please see: Enabling the Rich Media Recommendation Engine - Marketo Docs - Product Docs

Article Text Included in this article Overview Troubleshooting Steps Verify Global Settings Check for CRE Excluded URLs Verify Content Being Recommended Make Sure the Page Has the RTP Tag Running Clear Your Browser's Cache and Cookies Overview The Content Recommendation Engine allows content assets to be promoted to visitors on your website. But what happens if it stops working? This doc will show you the common things to check and troubleshooting steps to try to get it working again. Troubleshooting Steps Verify Global Settings The CRE can be switched on or off for your entire RTP instance whenever you want. It's possible that another user may have switched it off and not turned it back on again (it happens more often than you'd think). To enable or disable the CRE globally, go to the Account Settings page and look for the Recommendation toggle switch. Full directions can be found here. Check for CRE Excluded URLs You have the ability to prevent the CRE from being added onto specific pages. If you have URLs excluded from allowing the CRE to be displayed, that would cause the CRE to no longer display on those pages. Many times the exclusion can be set and then forgotten, or set by a different user on accident. Directions on how to set up the exclusions can be found here Web Personalization (RTP) - How To Exclude or Include the CRE on Specific Pages Verify Content Being Recommended Content assets can be switched on or off to designate whether that content should be included in the CRE recommendations or not. Each piece of content can be enabled or disabled individually, but if you don't have any enabled at all, there's nothing for the CRE bar to recommend, so it won't even show up on the page. To check whether content is enabled, from the menu, select Recommendations In the Content Recommendations page, look for the Recommendations column. This will list out all pieces of content you have in RTP and display whether they are enabled or disabled. The Red box means it is turned Off and is disabled. The Green circle means it is turned On and is enabled. Make Sure the Page Has the RTP Tag Running The CRE is a feature of RTP, so if the RTP script tag isn't running on the page, there's no way for the CRE to work. The RTP tag can be implemented in many different ways besides by having it directly in the page's HTML, like having it in a tag manager. These other implementation methods can cause problems so be sure to follow the directions in the documentation here when setting it up: RTP Tag Implementation - Marketo Docs - Product Docs If you know for sure that the RTP tag is on the page, here's documentation on how to troubleshoot what could be keeping it from loading properly: Troubleshooting Web Personalization (RTP) - RTP Tag Clear Your Browser's Cache and Cookies Web browsers store cached data from websites, which can frequently cause old versions of webpages to continue showing even if a different newer version of the page should be loading instead. Try clearing both cache and cookies in your browser and then testing the page again. You can also test using a different browser.

Article Text Included in this article: Overview Missing or Extra Headers Issues with Quotes Invalid Characters Invalid Country or State Names Overview The Named Accounts feature is a way to target your RTP Campaigns to specific Accounts in a Segment. It's a powerful tool for targeting specific organizations, but you may encounter errors when uploading the list of Accounts you wish to target. This doc will go over over the most common problems experienced when trying to upload a CSV file to a Named Accounts list. To learn how to upload a Named Accounts list, follow this article. Missing or Extra Headers The first line of your CSV file should be, in order: Name, Domain, Country, State. Make sure there are no extra columns or white spaces at the end of the line. See the screenshot below for an example of how to format your headers Issues with Quotes Occasionally Excel will use curly quotes, which look like these: “ ”. However, curly quotes are not recognized by the uploader, instead the uploader will recognize straight quotes like these: " ". Any curly quotes will need to be replaced by straight quotes to resolve any uploading issues. To do this: First, make sure your file is saved as a CSV file (.csv) and not an excel file (.xlsx) Right click on the file to open the CSV file using a text editor (ex. Notepad, TextEdit, etc) Find and replace both opening (“) and closing (”) curly quotes with a regular quote (") Invalid Characters This error is caused when there is an invalid character in the CSV file that you are trying to import. This is particularly common in CSV files using non-English characters. To rectify this, make sure your CSV file is UTF-8 encoded. By default, Excel encodes characters in ANSI format, so if your file has non-English characters in it, you will need to convert it to UTF-8. You can do this in Notepad or similar text editors using the following steps: Open the CSV file in the text editor and click "Save As" Save as type: All Files (Make sure you include the .csv file extension in the file name) Change the Encoding to UTF-8 Invalid Country or State Names If the location columns are in use (they are optional), check to verify that the countries and states are input in the correct way: Country names should be either the full country name, or its two digit country code. Ex: United States or US State names should just be their two digit state code. Ex: CA, NY, OR Make sure that only US states are included in the 'State' column. Named Account lists do not support other countries' states or provinces.

Article Text Image: Step Flow for Predictive Content for Web and Email What are Content URL Patterns? This post explains the first part of the flow image above: the discovery and tracking of content for the Predictive Content app. During the setup phase, the marketer defines their content URL patterns (See Create Content Patterns for more information), in order for Marketo to discover HTML content (e.g., blog posts, press release, news articles) across a domain. Setting URL patterns allows Marketo to auto-discover content when a web visitor clicks on the HTML web page within the content pattern. This content is then added to the All Content page in Predictive Content. Setting up URL Patterns Go to User Profile > Content Settings > URL Patterns. (For more information, see the Getting Started doc: Getting Started with Predictive Content) Image: URL Patterns Page Rules for Content URL Patterns Use of a wildcard (*) is permitted throughout the expression. e.g., domain.com/* or domain.com/*blog* It's recommended to use /* at end of the expression to continue pattern discovery. e.g., domain.com/blog/* to discover all your blog posts in the blog folder Content Patterns are not case sensitive. URL Pattern: "domain.com/Blog/*" will discover all HTML pages on "domain.com/Blog" and "domain.com/blog" Parameters in URLs are not discovered. Auto-content discovery removes the URL parameters in order to avoid discovering the same content URL multiple time with different parameters. Examples of Content URL Patterns Domain URL Pattern Type Result domain.com blog/* Pattern Discovers all your content that matches the pattern domain.com/blog/. Example: domain.com/blog/5-top-tricks domain.com/blog/2017/new-year-solutions domain.com/Blog/3-best-recipes domain.com article/2017/* Pattern Discovers all your content that matches the pattern domain.com/article/2017/ Example: domain.com/article/2017/5-top-tricks domain.com *datasheets* Contains Discovers any URL that contains the word "datasheets" Example: domain.com/datasheets/5-top-tricks domain.com/blog/5-top-datasheets domain.com press-release Exact Only one HTML page is discovered: Example: domain.com/press-release domain.com Exact If the domain is selected and the URL expression left empty, the URL pattern will discover only the home page Example: domain.com sub.domain.com blog/* Pattern Discovers all your html pages in the folder blog only on the sub domain sub.domain.com

No - It’s done automatically and behind the scenes. The algorithms used by our proprietary technology automatically present relevant content to your audience segment using digital behavior, keyword search terms, and firmographics such as: geolocation, employee size, revenue size, and industry. The recommendation engine uses predictive analytics and machine learning to predict which content asset will most likely to be individually relevant for each one of your website visitors to read.

New Lead with no email address and no Marketo cookie: If a new lead fills out a Marketo form, their Marketo cookie is created, lead details (including the cookie) will be updated and the Lead-Database and RTP sync process will be initiated. They will then be known to RTP and eligible for 1:1 personalized RTP campaigns.

Included in this Article: Overview Why This Happens Two Ways to Fix this Problem Set the campaign as "Not Sticky" Use a dedicated Zone id that exists only on the page(s) to include in the campaign Overview In the Web Personalization platform, you defined a campaign that included certain pages, but you are seeing the campaign appear on pages that you didn't intend them to appear on. Below, we will describe what might be the issue and how to solve it. Why This Happens When defining a segment using the "Specific Pages" parameter, every visitor that views this page will be matched to that segment. Once this happens, the "sticky" campaign will be triggered and will be displayed on every page that includes this Zone id parameter. After the visitor is matched to the segment and the campaign is triggered, the segment is not taken into consideration anymore, so this visitor will keep seeing the campaign every time the Zone id exists on the page. Two Ways to Fix this Problem Set the campaign as "Not Sticky" This will make the campaign show up only once per session, and only when visitors are viewing the specific pages defined in the segment. Go to the Campaigns page Edit the existing campaign Uncheck the box for "Sticky" Use a dedicated Zone id that exists only on the page(s) to include in the campaign In Zone campaigns are displayed in a particular zone in a website, designated by the Zone id. Find "Zone id" in the campaign editor Then, give the campaign a Zone id corresponding to a unique div ID tag on the desired site(s). This will ensure that once a visitor matches the segment and visited this page once, they will keep seeing the Call To Action (CTA) on this page.
