Where do I find the folder Id?

[Sai_Thumala]

Hi

I am trying to use the REST api to create an email template as detailed here.

http://developers.marketo.com/documentation/asset-api/create-email-template/

It requires me to specify the Id of the folder, but I cannot seem to find it anywhere in the UI. Can someone please tell me where is it?

Thank you.

It is in the URL.

In this example:

The ID would be 1003.

The same principle applies for List IDs and Lead IDs etc.

Hi Nicholas

Thanks for your response. The folder Id is available in the Url for Campaign folders (under Marketing activities) but when I create a folder under Design Studio>Emails>Templates and select it, the Url is not changing. It remains "#ET0A1ZN15", which is the Id of the Email Template I believe. Any thoughts on this?

Thank you.

Hmm.. here you go.. this is a bit of a workaround.

Use the API get folder by name: Get Folder by Name » Marketo Developers

use this to extract the folder id, including subfolders in the design studio.

Phew..

Yeah, looks like it is a UI error. For now, maybe I will just get the folder by name using the API in the link you provided.

Thanks again for your help.

Inspect element in your web browser, find your way to the list of folders. The folder id is attributed as "ext:tree-node-id=". for example:

Marketing Activities has ext:tree-node-id="19"  so the folder ID for the API is 19

Actually the UI tree ID is frequently mistaken for the folder ID, but it is not guaranteed to be the same. After we encountered enough exceptions we stopped trusting the tree ID.
