Wildcard Patterns for Segmenting in a Smart List

Hello all - 

 

I am working on a smart list that is Job Title specific. Does Marketo have the capability to filter by using wildcard patterns? I know some programs use percent signs (%) or asterisks (*).

 

For example, I'd like to pull in CTOs but not Directors (which contains 'cto'). So it should look something like this - % CTO %. However, I've tried numerous iterations of wildcard patterns (and job titles) for testing purposes but it always returns zero contacts.

 

Does anyone have insight into this? Thanks

Kyle,

there aren't wild cards but you do have contains and not contains

 

You could create a filter that was along these lines

you may need to use advanced filters to create a combination of Ands and Ors that work for you.

 

Cheers

Jo

Re: Wildcard Patterns for Segmenting in a Smart List

Neither SQL wildcards nor other wildcards (grep, regex) are supported.

You can pass people through a webhook for more precise pattern matching.
