Hi,

 

We are running a campaign for one landing page(created in Marketo) CTA action we want to trigger the automated emails, but for some leads the activity is not getting logged into Marketo and for some leads it's getting logged as expected. We are running the campaign now on our personal email id's just to make sure every test case scenarios work before we make the actual campaign live. Any suggestions?

 

Thanks

In addition to Sanford's explanation I seem to understand you are testing with multiple email addresses. If you are doing that from one device, you need to be very aware of which record has gone through associating the cookie last, as there will be only one cookie and depending on your link clicks and form fills the cookie is associated to only one record in your database (the last record you filled out a form or clicked on a link with).

So you need to write some good test scripts where you make sure to take the right steps in sequence to test the behaviour you want to verify. It might be wise to remove cookies altogether before you start testing with a new email address.

...we have a database in Marketo on which we have sent the emails earlier as well so for those leads also are we gonna face the same issue maybe not for every contact in our database but for some of those?


Given a large enough db, there's always a non-zero chance that some of your leads will have a cookie that's already associated with a different lead from the person who received the email.

 

And in those cases, it's the original lead that'll get the Clicked Link on Web Page. It's not possible to avoid this 100% of the time, so it's something to document and understand rather than something to "fix."
