Is this possible to filter on? One event happening after another?

For example - Person was sent an email AFTER filling in a particular form (and not a email relating to that form, unrelated campaign).

 

I can do Filled in Form X before <date> and was sent email X after <same date> but I dont want to center around a particular date, just an email send happening any time AFTER a specific form was filled in

AFACIT, Marketo does not have built-in functionality to filter on an event happening after another event without specifying a particular date. However, there are workarounds involving getting activity data using the Marketo API and filtering people based on the relative activity date.

Well, if you can trigger on Activity A you can filter on Activity B happening earlier. The fundamental problem is Sent Email isn’t triggerable. Email is Delivered is, though.

Thanks for your suggestion. These are both events that have already happened and requirement is just for investigation purposes.

You’ll need to involve some outside process then.

 

Either:

 

(1) a fully offline app that exports using the Bulk Export API and uses a SQL window function or equivalent

 

or

 

(2) a webhook-compatible service to compute the distance between dates; you save the last form fillout and last delivered email to DateTime fields, then pass the people who filled out a form through the webhook and respond with which one came first
