Have you moved to a new company but you want to keep all of your profile info, activity, content, and rewards and points? Great, we can help.   Log into your new Marketo Instance and follow these steps. Email our Customer Care team at customercare@marketo.com as soon as you get your new community account set up so we can swap your information. They will need the email address of your old profile as well as the email address of the new profile to which you want your profile info, activity, content, and rewards and points moved.   Important: DO NOT CREATE ANY CONTENT ON YOUR NEW ACCOUNT before we've completed the information swap. Any content you create in the new profile will be lost if you decide you want to swap profiles AFTER the fact.   Please note that we can only SWAP account information from one profile to another. We cannot merge points or profile information from multiple profiles to one profile. So in these cases, we recommend you give us the email associated with the account with the information you'd like to retain and ask that we swap it with the account you'd like to use going forward.   We will notify you when the process is complete through the Customer Care case you have opened. If you have questions regarding this process, please feel free to post in About Community.

Some customers may encounter a particular login situation when connecting to the Marketing Nation Community through their Marketo instance. First, you log into your Marketo instance and then you click on the Community button and you receive this screen, which loops over and over again. We've done some testing and it seems the potential cause for this has to do with whether or not your organization uses a Single Sign-on solution (i.e. OneLogin, SecureLogin, Bitium, etc) and your Marketo Admin has enabled the Single Sign-on Settings on your Marketo instance. The workaround to avoiding this error is to bypass using your Single Sign-on solution and logging into Marketo directly by going to https://login.marketo.com/ and entering your Marketo login information. This is a temporary solution as our engineering team is currently investigating a long term solution for this situation.

With the recent launch of the Community, we have made some changes to Marketo User Groups (MUGs) and how you access them. We’ve moved the groups from LinkedIn into the Community so you can receive all information in one place. The only way to be invited to a MUG is to join the group in the Community. To ensure you don’t miss out on meetings, take the following steps today: Find and Follow a Marketo User Group near you or a Virtual User Group View our Upcoming User Group Meetings and register for one near you Adjust your email preferences in Community to fit your communication needs. To receive meeting invites in your regular email inbox, select Yes to Receive Email, and Yes to Inbox: Everything in my Inbox page, except direct social actions Fill out your profile IN FULL, including location, photo, avatar and bio. If your profile is blank you will be declined from the MUGs because the Leaders have no way of knowing who you are Connect with your fellow MUG members in Community. The LinkedIn User Groups are being deleted soon Please note, these are private groups for marketers located in that region. We look forward to seeing you in your group soon!

I have checked yes to content that I have created or participated in, and social actions so I am notified if someone is trying to reach out to me.

If you are expecting a definitive answer, you should leave it marked as a question so that you can then mark the correct answer (as well as helpful answers) and let everyone know that the discussion is "complete". Note that there is no magic ability for the system to mark the correct answer once it is provided. That is up to you as the questioner. If the question is more open-ended, for example an online brainstorming session, feel free to unmark the question checkbox. Answered discussion question thread This icon displays if a discussion post is marked as a question and the answer has also been marked as such.

Assigning tags to your content makes it easier for you and others to find later. Tags are like key search words that you and others assign to content. Tags make it easier to find content when you or others search for it later. You can assign tags to existing or new content. You can even assign tags to a status update. Assign tags to a Status Update To assign tags to a status update, type # before the keyword, for example, "Really enjoying these awesome #tutorials about how to #get started  Now others will find this update whenever they search for "tutorials" and "get started." Assign tags to other Content There are two ways you can assign tags to content: You can open or create your content and scroll to the bottom of the page to the Tags box. Type in the keywords you would use to search for this content. You can also use inline tagging by adding tags on the fly, as you're editing the body of the content. To do this, use the #, which is a hash or pound sign, and follow it with the tag. So if you're writing about your first day in the new community, you might say "Just learned how to write a post #newbie"‌ Tagging Tips Consider using any existing tags that pop-up in the suggestion box. Existing tags are often assigned to related content, so it's good practice to use them. An underscore can help with longer tags such as sales_report or employee_benefits. Note that if you are tagging content that is being moderated by an admin, your tags may not show up right away because content updates may need to be approved. You can speed up tagging by changing your user preferences. To enable on-the-fly tagging, click on your avatar in the upper right corner and then Preferences. Turn on Quick Tagging Mode and then click Save.

Using @mention, you can alert people, places, and groups that you're talking about them. When you create or comment on content in your community, you have the ability to mention a person, place, document, or other piece of content. This is a way to give a shout out to someone or something to catch their attention. You might say, "I think you'll find this interesting swilder" or "I saw this in the Community Help & Feedback section".  You can also @mention your Marketo User Group to say what a great time you had at a recent event. This notifies any person mentioned after the @ that you are talking about him or her. (Members of groups you mention will see this in their Activity Stream.)  When someone is @mentioned in a piece of content, a status update, or elsewhere, a notification of the activity flows into their Inbox. You can also use the @mention feature to refer to documents or other content that resides on the site.  For example, you might say "According to Set Up Your Profile & Privacy options‌, the profile information that I choose to share will show up in search results." It's easy to do: 1. Type the "@" symbol (or click the "@" icon if it is available). A search dialog opens and suggests possible matches. To narrow matches, use an underscore (_) as a space. For example, @Mike_D would match the Mikes whose last name begins with "D." Your picker will include documents, discussions, and places as well as people. Keep typing to narrow the choices further. You can also scroll through the list of people, places, and content that are suggested for you. 2. Select the correct match from the list. The new link shows up in your content.
