Marketo View as a Webpage Link

[Anonymous]

Hey Marketo Community,

I'm looking for another way to access the view as a webpage link in an email ASIDE from sending myself a test message. Is there another way to access this link through the email editor view?

Thanks in advance,

Carissa had a decent workaround if you're looking to do something with it, externally -- although it requires you to edit the tokens before you publish it (a benefit of the 'view as webpage' token).

Want to share an email but not use the "view online" or "view as a webpage" link?

Carissa had a pretty slick idea. Unfortunately it does not seem to play well with dynamic or module driven emails which is mostly what we send... Bummer.

You can add a Velocity token to your email that, within Preview Mode, will open the View As Web Page in a new window.

Of course, you have to be previewing in the context of a given lead, and the output will reflect that lead. Like JD says, the problem with previewing highly dynamic emails is that there isn't one HTML representation, there are unlimited possible representations.

That would be something new for me. I have some time so maybe I go read about Velocity tokens. What we are trying to get to (like many on this forum it seems) is to export clicked links in an automated way to send to agents for follow up. I've read here a few different ideas but nothing seems to be the perfect solution. I saw another suggestion you had with BCC using an image hosting service but I'll have to read more on that.

Subscribing people to a smart list seems like it would get us 98% there, it's just the email preview problem to solve for...

Thanks for the input Sanford!

Thanks everyone for your help! I'll research velocity tokens and let

everyone know if it works for my use-case.

Hi Duane

Did you ever find a solution for this? 

I am trying to find a way of getting the list of "view online" URLs without needing to send me all the TEST and copy them from the different versions of the assets

Thanks

Modules or not, the end html is what you'll use, so that shouldn't make any difference. The dynamic part, for sure, will be a problem, much for the same reason -- being that you're using one static sheet of html.

Make sure when you export your HTML that you're not doing it from within the email -- that will leave all your PHP code from your modules. If, instead, you export it from Design Studio or Marketing Activities root menus, you'll get a clean (other than tokens) non-php version to use.

[Duane_Kennerson]

Ah, thanks for the tip. Didn't realize that the download html functioned differently between the two.

Unfortunately as both you and Sanford pointed out, the dynamic nature kind of kills it. Too bad you couldn't force it to show the default. That would be good enough to get us to where we are trying to go for now.

Thank you!

If you're referring to the "show full screen" option that was available using Email Editor 1.0 (but removed from 2.0), you might want to vote on this idea:

Thank you Dan!

The links are only built at run time because they are appended with parameters to identify the recipients so that dynamic content in the message is built properly in the web view.  What are you looking to use the link for?  It's not meant to be used for reasons other than recipients having issues viewing the HTML in their inbox.
