Automated Blog Subscription Emails

[Anonymous]

Good Morning Marketo Users! 

I'm looking for a solution to send out automated blog updates out to our subscribers! Now, I could setup a program and go in and copy and past some intro text and the links every week. But I would rather setup some Dynamic Content that pulls in from our most recent posts! Has anyone worked with Drupal and got this to successfully work? I'm running into a lot of issues and my google search results are going in circles! From what I can tell there's some Mailchimp options and RSS options. 

Any advice or help tutorials would be great! Or even better a tutorial!  

Thanks so much!

I recommend using Perkuto's Digesto tool for this.

Thanks guys... I was on their site a few hours ago. Correct me if i'm worng but this is a paid service? There is no free solution. @Adam Have you been happy with them? How much is your subscription? How was the setup?

I too use Digesto to deliver our blog content and 7 types of newsfeeds.  It's paid, but it's been worth it for what we need to do.

Hi there,

In adding to this conversation regarding Digesto blog. We currently use Digesto for our blog, and am having a hard time finding individual email send stats.  I see the most recent blog's email stats but not each time the blog is triggered... Any idea on how I could find this out?

Hi Jessica,

I hope you don't mind I deleted my initial reply - I was initially logged in with my sandbox user...

Disclosure - I work on the Digesto product at Perkuto and I think this article will help explain your stats discrepancies:

Here is the community thread that outlines the "multiple email send" limitation:

if you decide to give it a try, I'd love to hear your feedback on the suggested workaround using lead performance report with custom columns...

Best,

David
