Issue When trying to edit an email you are receiving the error "Cannot Load Email" with out any other details. This is only when trying to edit the email, other functionalities like cloning still work.   Solution The reason you are receiving this error message is because the HTML of the email has been corrupted. Extract the HTML of the email by following the instructions here: https://docs.marketo.com/display/DOCS/Download+an+Email's+HTML Find the email and select it In the Email Actions Drop down click Download HTML Once the emails HTML is extracted you can check on the errors by pushing the HTML through a validator (https://validator.w3.org/) **If no Errors are evident please create a support ticket. If there are errors but you would still like to use the HTML in an email.   Create a new email, replace the HTML with the extracted content from the old email Append the HTML to resolve any errors that would corrupt the content Save and Approve Email for use in campaigns and programs   Root Cause Sometimes emails can become corrupted in Marketo. When this occurs unexpected behavior may occur. Typically emails become corrupted when a copy of a copy of a copy (etc.) occurs. With each clone of an asset there is a small chance that the asset could become corrupted, this becomes more and more likely as clones of clones are made. A solution to help prevent corruption would be to create a 'master' email that you can clone from each time instead of cloning from something else that was cloned. This same solution can be applied to other assets such as landing pages.

Issue Description Whenever a lead enters Marketo, it is being deleted automatically.   Issue Resolution Marketo will never delete any lead records on its own unless you have setup a trigger or batch campaign to do so. We suggest you to review your campaigns in Campaign Inspector and check for the campaign that is using "Delete Person," or "Delete Person from SFDC" with the value true for "Delete in Marketo."   If you have figured out the campaign and you would like to restore the deleted leads, contact support (https://nation.marketo.com/docs/DOC-1670-about-support) and they may be able to restore the deleted leads with a buffer period 30 days from the date of lead deletion.  Is this article helpful ?

Using the Marketo SOAP API, you can check whether or not your website visitors have filled out a form and present them content accordingly. The following code below is unsupported and is intended to help you develop your own solution. In the resources section of the Marketo website, we use this method for our premium content. For leads who have already registered, their links go directly to the resource. Leads who haven't registered are given links to a landing page. In both cases, the link appears the same. Behind the scenes, a cookie is used to store whether or not this lead has registered: If the user has the premium registration cookie, the premium links are shown. If the user does not have that cookie, the lead's record is retrieved via the SOAP API. Based on the lead's record: If the lead has a valid email address, the premium content links are shown and the premium registration cookie is set. If not, the premium content links are not shown. Instead, they take leads to a landing page to fill out a form. First, you'll need to develop a SOAP API connection to Marketo. The attached ZIP file has a sample connection PHP file. You'll need to make the following changes in this file: ... $this->access_key = 'Your API Access Key Goes Here'; $this->secret_key = 'Your Secret API Key Goes Here'; // // The endpoint is in the "SOAP API Setup" page in the Marketo Admin section // ex. $soap_end_point = 'xx-1.marketo.com/soap/mktows/'; // $soap_end_point = 'Your SOAP API End Point URL Goes Here'; // // Errors are sent to this email address. Your web server // must be configured to send email for this to work correctly. // // ex. $this->error_email_address = 'example@example.com'; // $this->error_email_address = 'Put your debug email address here'; ... After creating your SOAP API connection, the next step is to implement the logic that determines which content to show if the user is logged in or not. The get_premium_url_status() function returns true if the lead has the premium cookie or if they've filled out a form. Otherwise, it returns false. You can use that result to determine what content the lead should see. The attached ZIP file has a PHP file that contains an example of this check.

Issue You have created a Nurture Engagement Program and are running an Engagement Stream Report, and a stream is not showing on the report.     Solution One likely cause for the stream not showing on the report is that the stream is not sending out content. Once the content in the Engagement Stream is being sent (cast), then the email activity will begin to show on the Report. In order to cast content, the cadence must be set. If the Stream Cadence has been set, and the stream is still not showing on the Report, another likely reason is that there are no leads in the stream. The solution here is to add records to the stream.

Issue Is it possible to add code from a content management system (CMS) into a Web Campaign in RTP? Solution Marketo Web Personalization does not integrate with any content management system's (CMS) content to draw or pull content campaigns into the Web Campaign. Personalized campaigns need to be created within the Web Campaign editor. So what does this mean? When you are using HTML tags within the Web Campaign Editor in RTP, Marketo only supports the use of RTP HTML tags. On your own website you could have HTML tags and codes from other systems but within the Web Campaign Editor in RTP we only support RTP HTML tags. Note: The RTP Javascript tags works on all types of CMS platforms (Drupal, wordpress, sitecore, HTML pages, etc...) to identify visitors, segment them and show them personalized web campaigns. The above relates to the code used to render a personalized Web Campaign.

Issue An update made in the CRM is taking longer than expected to sync to Marketo via the usual sync cycle. You need to avoid this for some of the data being passed between the two systems.     Solution Some delay in the sync is expected. It all depends on the current sync status, as well as how much data is being synced.   One possible workaround  would be to use API calls to push data into Marketo immediately. To make API calls into Marketo, you'll need to do the following Create an API Only User Role Create an API Only User Create a Custom Service for Use with ReST API   From there, you will be able to create API calls from your CRM and access API endpoints with this user to make updates in Marketo.  This method can also be used to sync data between Marketo and unsupported or custom CRMs.  Note: You will need to work with a developer to create the API calls.  Marketo Support are not trained as developers, so if you need assistance creating your API calls, you will need to work with Marketo Professional Services instead.

Issue Issue Description A smart list in the Marketo database generates an amount of records for a specific Created Date and a report in Revenue Explorer reports a different number of records for the same Created Date.   Solution Issue Resolution Revenue Explorer (RCE) will report counts of records by Create Date by which ever is earlier: the Marketo Create Date or the CRM create Date.  If the record was created in Marketo on May 1st, and then synced and created in CRM on May 5th, RCE will report that record's Create Date as May 1st. If the record was created in CRM on February 13th, and then synced and created in Marketo on March 20th, RCE will report that record's Create Date as Feb 13th.  Additional example: If a person was cookied for the first time via a web page visit on April 3rd creating an anonymous record in Marketo, and then filled out a form on April 5th converting the anonymous record to a known person and synced to CRM on April 7, RCE will report that record's Create Date as April 3rd because that's when the anonymous record was created in the database. If a smart list is generated to compare with Revenue Explorer to identify records by Create Date, there can be differences in count due to the following possibilities: 1) RCE Sync - the sync to RCE delays data by about 24 hours. If a net new record was just imported into Marketo, RCE would be able to report on it approximately 24 hours later.  2) Differences in defining measures/filters - as stated above, RCE will report based on the record's Create Date (visible on the Marketo Record's Info tab), and the Smart List could be based on different filters. See this related document about smart list filters (LINK TBD). The Smart List could be looking at a date when records became known, or could be looking at when the record was created in Marketo; RCE and the Smart List could be looking at different dates. 3) Time zone difference - RCE will always report on Central Time, and Smart Lists will report on the instance's local time.   Who This Solution Applies To Customers with Revenue Explorer

Issue Issue Description You try to merge two records in Marketo and a System Error appears ‘Failed to merge leads [Lead ID]'       Solution Issue Resolution One of the reasons why the merge fails is the leads are part of a different account in SFDC. Even though it looks like they belong to the same account, you need to verify their account ID in SalesForce to see if they match. Another possible reason is due to lack of permissions on SFDC.

Issue When using Interactive Webinars, if a host changes the layout, previously on-camera speakers must switch on their cameras again. Is there a way to keep the camera always on when you move from one layout to another? Solution This is not supported due to privacy concerns. If a video pod is not present in a layout, the camera is turned off. If a video pod is present in the next layout again, the presenters need to switch on the camera again to consent to their video being shown again to everyone. There however is a workaround to this. A video pod can be placed on the poll pod layout but it can be positioned so that it is behind the poll pod. The size of video pod does not matters on this layout so it can be reduced so that it is completely hidden behind the poll pod. This way the video pod will be hidden and not visible to participants but since the video pod is present, the camera will not be turned off on this layout. On switching to the next layout (Intro), presenters will not need to turn their cameras on. However, they need to be cautious as their video will go live as soon as the intro layout goes live. Additional information on Interactive Webinars can be found here: Best Practices for Interactive Webinars Designing Interactive Webinars

Issue Issue Description Outlook plugin gives an install error: "Registration code invalid."     Solution Issue Resolution This is normally caused by a faulty installation or problems with network connection to the Marketo validation servers.   1.    Check to see if you have the correct type. (i.e. if you have a 32-bit office then you have to get the 32-bit download or if you have the 64-bit then you need the 64-bit download.  NOTE: Your Office may not be the same version as your operating system, so be sure to check the Office version specifically.) 2.    The activation code should be used only once. 3.    It should be used with the same email address that the code was sent to. 4.    If the installation does not work, check the mopi.logs for errors. The mopi.logs should be in C:\Program Files\Marketo\Marketo Outlook Add-in. 5.    You may need to uninstall and reinstall the plugin. 6.     If you are behind a firewall or vpn, these can occasionally interfere with the communication between the plugin and the Marketo validation servers.  Retry the process on an alternate network such as a home network or a cellular hotspot.   If you are still unable to resolve the issue, please contact Marketo support.
