Issue You want to have one email address in the From field ( abc@test.com) a different email address in the Reply-To (all@test.com)? Solution Yes, you can use different email addresses in the From and Reply-To.  If the Reply-To is an email alias that sends to a group, you should confirm that email is working and able to receive email.  Please note: Automatic replies, such as out-of-office notifications will be sent to the From address, not the Reply-To.  Reply-To is only used when the person who received the email clicks the Reply button in their email client. Note :- The SMTP envelope sender typically appears as <uniqueidentifier>@*.mktomail.com. You will only receive responses of this nature if you have configured a branded sender for your subscription. While this serves as the correct destination for auto-responses, regrettably, it is frequently overlooked.

Issue A recent Smart Campaign or Email Program sent Person records in Marketo more emails than should be allowed based on settings in Communication Limit Settings in the Admin area of Marketo. Solution This is commonly caused by one of three things: The emails that sent after the communication limit was hit were Operational. To verify if this is the case, select the email asset from the menu tree on the left and review the summary of the asset in the canvas where you will see if the email is Operational or not. The Block non-operational emails checkbox is not checked in Edit Communication Limit Settings. Setting values the "Per Day" and "Per 7 Days" dropdown menus does not enforce the communication limit. In order for this limit to be enforced, the "Block non-operational emails" checkbox must be checked.  Enable Communication Limits The Email Program or Smart Campaign are not set up to follow Communication Limits. Apply Communication Limits to Smart Campaign Enable/Disable Communication Limits in an Email Program

Issue Description Email filtering can prevent the delivery of the invitation email to the Sales Insight Outlook Plug-in, preventing end users from being able to activate the plug-in.   Issue Resolution This can be re-mediated by white-listing the trusted IP range from the following document:   https://docs.marketo.com/display/public/DOCS/Setup+Steps#SetupSteps-AskITtoConfigureProtocols   The email invitation return path is determined by the Marketo user who is inviting in the instance. So if there is a restriction on the domain that the email can be sent from you can adjust this by creating a dummy user with a username with the a domain that would qualify for IT restrictions.  Then log in as the dummy user and send the invitation. It will have the dummy address in the From line.   Who This Solution Applies To Outlook Plug-In users Is this article helpful ? YesNo

Issue Description You want to measure who clicks a specific link that uses a query string from a landing page, but when you try to use this logic in a smart campaign or smart list, it tells you the URL can’t be found, even though you can see the URL embedded on the landing page.       Issue Resolution If you are using the link "marketo.com/company/contact/?firstname=test", then you need to seperate the url into the link and the query string. The root domain (Link in the filter/trigger) will be marketo.com/company/contact/ and the query string (from Add Constraint dropdown) will be firstname=test. This will allow you to correctly track the links you are wanting.       Make sure that you have the correct Web Page associated as a constraint as well.     For a better understanding of what query strings are, they are the parameters that are preceded by the "?" in the url.         Is this article helpful ?

Issue You notice that new records in Marketo have the 'Website' and 'Company Name' fields populated with the domain of their email address.     Solution This will happened when a new lead is created by a form fill-out. If the new record is imported or created manually then this would not apply. This design decision has been a part of the code for many years where the domain of the email is used for the company name and website fields on the lead record. This feature cannot be disabled.

Issue You are following the SSO setup instructions provided by Azure to configure your IDP (https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/azure/active-directory/active-directory-saas-marketo-tutorial). However, you are getting the error message: " Error processing SAML message. Request was ill-formed in some way. " To troubleshoot that message you are collecting the SAML assertion being passed to Marketo to identify potential issues with it (as described here: https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/azure/active-directory/develop/active-directory-saml-debugging ). However, when trying to capture the SAML, you are not able to find any SAML in the network tracer even after arriving at the error message.    Solution Confirm the field "Sign on URL" is empty as it is only intended to be used for service provider initiated single sign-on, which is not supported by Marketo.  Disclaimer: Marketo does not support 3rd party products such as Azure Active Directory and cannot configure your IDP on your behalf. This document is intended to assist Azure users in configuring their IDP, but no guarantees are made that this information is accurate.

In addition, the click event listener doesn't work on the back office, so only if it is an HTML page and you are viewing it (while rtp is running in the background) you should see the counter changes.

Issue Values for a person were changed while they were in a wait step and you want to know if this will affect the values they see in an email they are set to receive after they come out of the wait step.     Solution When a lead enters a wait step, they are put on hold until the specified time. The logic is simply to wait until the specified time, then move on to whatever the next step is. The next step can even be changed while people are waiting, and they will go on to the new step. No content is generated in preparation of them exiting the step. When the wait step ends, the person moves on to the next step in the flow. Any information that was updated while they were waiting will be reflected in that next step. Thus, if values were changed while they were in the wait step, those new values will appear in the email they are sent after the wait step.

In order to improve our targeting abilities, once a known lead has visited your website, we will override their company name by using their email domain. This way, even if the visitor is not currently at the office, but visiting your website from their house, instead of appearing as an ISP (Comcast Cables / AT&T..) they will appear as coming from the company associated with the email domain they used. For example, someone is known in Marketo Lead Database as 'john.doe@example.com' – once they have visited your website, they will show up as coming from Example Corp even if they are not currently at the office.   IP based geo-location targeting has a 95% accuracy rates for country level and around 85% for states which is why you may sometime see discrepancies. Location identification is not 100%, especially with ISP’s. Given this information, the visitors might be at their home using an IP that is registered as in the wrong city and sometime even state. Once we override the company name, they will still appear as coming from their company but a wrong location.

The asset discovery is an event listener that sits on every page and waits for visitors to click links that are considered content assets. Any behavior on web pages is being recorded in the 'session' and this event listener is continuously checking the session to see if anything happened. Once he identifies an event, he checks if this is a click on content asset. By default, assets are defined as any external pages or files (PDF, PPT, PPTX, MP4, OGG, WEBM, YouTube..) but if you configure URL patterns so the engine will look for them as well.   See: Enabling Asset Discovery - Marketo Docs - Marketo User Manual Create a New Asset - Marketo Docs - Marketo User Manual   A few example of how to configure the exclude/include rules for Asset URL Patterns:   Page to include/exclude   Is this article helpful ?
