RSS to Email to Auto Generate email

RSS to Email to Auto Generate email

To manage our blog using marketo and capture all of the user engagement, it would be great to be able to create an email and workflow with our existing blog RSS feed.

We are using Hubspot for our blog and send out blog emails from Hubspot. Would much rather send those emails from Marketo because this is our primary email platform, but I can't find any way to embed the latest blog post into a Marketo email. I'd love to use our Hubspot RSS feed to pull the latest post into Marketo emails! Any feedback from Marketo on where this fits into the roadmap?

This idea is been posted a while back and it seems that there is still a lot of demand for it. So we decideed to take on the challenge.

We currently work with a Marketo client to build an application to pull RSS feeds and push the information to a Marketo program and therefore send automatically an email with any blog content in any given period.

We would like to hear from you as we work on this and would be happy to provide it on a broader scale if there is some interest.

Please reach out to me (alex@perkuto.com) if you are interested.

We will keep posted on progress here as well.

I confirm it would be great to have a RSS to mail option. If possible a native one but each solution would be welcome.

Bonjour Amuller, 
I'm available to discuss this further with you anytime you want. You can reach me on my email alex@perkuto.com and I can describe to you what we are doing and you could tell us if that would work for you. 
I also speak French, so either language is good for me!

I recall my rep explaining to me how this would work in the sales process, but now can't find any information.

Here is a solution we found in the meantime which we may utilize. Unfortunately, it doens't seem to integrate with our systems yet, but I thougth it might be useful to some of you. Would be great if Marketo could include this feature: http://mailchimp.com/features/rss-to-email/

Hi folks, Alex and Perkuto solved this back in March 2014. This is the only Marketo Launchpoint solution - you DO NOT need to go to Mailchimp anymore once you turn on Digesto. It's really easy to do and reasonably priced given that you

1. Automate something within Marketo and save huge amounts of time.
2. Add this data directly to your Marketo data.
3. Have a real component to basic nurturing with the system.

Argh, Marketo! Why??? Just develop this natively, already! When it's something this many users want, and Hubspot already has it, and someone has already created and is selling their own third-party plugin for it, then don't you think it's time to do it?

I have to admit, that I am amazed that this doesn't exist within Marketo! I was able to put in a single command in ExactTarget and "httpget://....." and it would pull in the entire blog if I wanted it to. It was so easy, and I ran all of my newsletters through that - that was at my old employer. Marketo is great for somethings, and man, at times I wished I was back on ET....

Please do this functionality, it's a no brainer!
