Is there any way to mass approve emails after template updates?

[Geoff_Krajeski1]

I know that there is the ability to mass approve Landing Pages within Marketo, however I am unsure if this exists for Emails.

Is there such a way to mass approve Email assets utilizing changed or altered templates so that we would not need to go through one by one to approve?

[Dina_Otero]

What if the emails live in Marketing Activities and programs? Can we still mass approve?

[Stijn_Heijthuij]

Yes, this goes for all emails in the instance.

Actually, it's all emails in a workspace.  We have 23 workspaces that require us to approve 23 batches each time a template changes.

Sure, it's done the same way as LPs.  Simply click on the "Email" folder in Design Studio and you will be able to sort by template and then approve just those emails.  The one drawback is this only works within each workspace - there's no way to do this across your entire instance.  So in our instance, we have 23 country workspaces and have to do this 23 times.

Wish there was an easy way to filter by name.  Doesn't seem like the search function helps there....

The search box at the bottom of your results actually does filter by name.

That's odd - I don't even have a search filter at the bottom:

Very interesting:

I think I know why.  Marketo enabled a custom view in our instance so that it displays all emails in a single view (vs. the paginated view that is by default).  There must be a bug that prevents this search bar from appearing at the bottom.  I still prefer this view as it allows us to mass-approve on a single view (instead having to do this across multiple views).

I'll have to see if this is an option for me in my instance, however with 1.7K emails (in this partition along) it may require Project Orion type speed to return my results

Thanks Dan Stevens​ and others for your input!

I'll let you know what Support replies back with on my case!

If you have a very large number of emails and need to paginate across several pages to mass approve, it might be helpful to automate.  We've done this with a client for mass approving landing page templates.

You can reach out to barry@salytics.com if this might be helpful.

[Geoff_Krajeski1]

I'm unable to get it to filter on template name, versus the email name.

[Anonymous]

Ah yes, that's right, sorry. Sorting by "Template" or "Last Updated" might help.

But actually I didn't want to defend Marketo here. Mass updating emails and landing pages sucks.

[Geoff_Krajeski1]

Cannot search via template name, as you can see by my other screenshot on this thread, I have "webinar" in the template name for several items,

however upon search for "webinar" it only returns those with this word in the Email Name.
