For your certification exam there is a big section that covers tokens, this is included in the personalisation section.
Tokens are an amazing and simple functionality that facilitates personalisation. You can use them form emails, landing pages, templates and advanced programming functionality such as lead scoring and changing data values.
Here are a few things that it would be good for you to review:
- Different types of tokens
- Where are tokens located?
- Where can they be used?
- How to use them?
Types of tokens
System Tokens
Marketo has system tokens that you can use for personalisation but you can also create your own tokens within a program or a folder.
Some examples of system tokens are:
- Unsubscribe link
- View as web page
- Dates
This page in Marketo Docs lists all the tokens that can be used for Person/Lead, Company, Campaign, System and Trigger.
