Tracking Opt-in's for specific campaigns

Hi all

I want to track who opted in to our comms as part of specific campaigns, how do i set up that smartlist? So for eg we held a webinar and many people attended and i suspect, subscribed to our comms via our registration form and opt-in box, but i dont know how to track it so that i can 100%  say who subscribed as part of that specific campaign.

 

Thank you!

Missing some details here. Are you UTM-tagging the link to the registration form? What is the relationship between the form and the Program that contains the Smart Campaign?

so my smart campaign is tracking who fills out our form (we have standardised forms) on a specific landing pages. Every event registration form has an opt-in box. I just want to know how i can track who has opt'd in for certain events.

Well, as Sandy asked - do you use any program/marketing campaign specific UTM parameters for the registration LPs? FYR: UTMs are the parameters added to the webpage URL after the "?" e.g. https://www.exmaple.com/some-path?utm_campaign=2022-webinar-product-release&utm_source=mkto&utm_medi...

In the above URL there are three UTM parms: utm_campaign, utm_source, and utm_medium.

If your registration LP had UTMs, you can use UTM values in the smart list filter's constraint to filter people who filled out the form and had their Email Opt-in change.

 

If you don't use UTMs in the registration page (which is highly recommended to track the interactions) - you can track by filled out form filter with constraint on the respective webpage (Marketo LP) assuming that your forms are placed on the Marketo LPs only (if they are not, you would have to use referrer constraint instead of the webpage constraint) and though the form is standardized/global, LP isn't and is local to the program/marketing campaign you want to track.

Check out below snapshot, I think this should help you find people (both who already were existing in the DB and got their data value changed, and who were created from the form fill-out.) Also, please be aware of the fact that Marketo retains the Change Data Value activity for a period of 90 days past the activity date. However, form fill-outs are retained for a period of 25 months past the activity date.

AFAIK, this should help you get correct set of people, I'll post an update if I discover any edge case/filter config missing.

Thanks all for helping! I have now a solution  that allows me to track:

 

1. who subscribed and is new as part of a campaign

2 who subscribed and was existing in Marketo as part of a campaign
