copyright year in footer to auto-update in an email? Is this really possible?

[Christine_LeBla]

Hi,

Marketo apparently has a token for this, but I do not believe it will work. ESPs are going to translate it to pull in the copyright year on emails?
Is there a bullet-proof way to have the copyright year auto update in my email templates for whenever they get sent out to recipients?

Thanks!

What token are you referring to, and what do you mean by "ESPs are going to translate it"?

Email Service Provider

{{system.dateYear}}  ...tested this and it does not render the year.

Sounds like someone hallucinated that token. Where did you see that documented? (Also not sure what you meant by “ESPs translate” still — email recipients’ servers don’t understand tokens.)

In any case, use this: The definitive guide to setting up copyright year {{my.tokens}} for Emails and LPs

LOL! Yes, some kind of a 'GPT'. 😂

- I suppose I will just omit the year, or someone will need to remember to edit it each year.

Wait but I linked to the code that does it automatically.
