[FAQ attached below this article] What's Changing? On August 31, 2020, Marketo Engage will implement a new retention policy specifically for Sent & Delivered Email activities. Under this policy, data for these two activity types will be stored for a rolling 90-day period from the activity date for use in Smart Lists. This is a change from the current default retention period of 25 months, and from the current Extended Data Retention subscription option period of 37 months. Upon the policy taking effect, data older than 90 days for these two activities will be deleted and no longer available for export. Any Smart List with the “Was Sent Email” and “Was Delivered Email” filters (including NOT Was Sent and NOT Was Delivered) should be updated to ensure the maximum lookback date is 90 days. If the lookback date is greater than 90 days, the Smart List will continue to function, but only activities that are 90 days old or less will qualify. Why? In 2020, we are improving critical parts of the underlying Marketo Engage infrastructure, including Batch campaign processing, similar to the Trigger campaign improvements made in 2019. This new infrastructure, in combination with the new retention policy, is expected to result in shorter lead time with large email sends and faster segmentation processing to deliver significantly faster processing to our customers. Note, the revised retention policy is one, among several, aspects that come together to deliver this improved performance, but broadly speaking reduced retention helps with faster database look ups and search across the run-time infrastructure. What's NOT Changing? Aggregated data – including Reports, Dashboards, and Analytics – will not be affected by this change (unless they reference a Smart List with these activities). The new policy will not affect any activity type other than Sent and Delivered (for example, Was Opened activity data is not affected). Further, this change does NOT affect Engagement Program casts. What Customer Actions Are Needed? First, you'll want revisit where and how you're using these two activity types. Audit your Smart Lists and ensure the date ranges for these two activity types are less than 90 days - if you must use a date greater than 90 days, we suggest running a process to export to an external system. You will need to create this before the new retention policy takes effect on August 31, 2020. Information on how to export activities using APIs can be found on our Developers Documentation website. We appreciate you understanding as we move toward an enhanced Marketo Engage experience for all customers. Please download and review the FAQ attached below for further suggestions, workarounds and additional information.

In Feb14' version we've added RTP activities to the smart campaign standard filters and triggers. Therefore you should no longer use the old way of capturing URL parameters in order to measure your campaign performance and engagement. Please follow the instructions below to set up your smart campaigns in the new way: https://docs.marketo.com/display/DOCS/Define+a+Smart+List+for+Web+Personalization+Activities https://docs.marketo.com/display/DOCS/Define+a+Smart+List+for+Predictive+Content+Activities Cheers, Yanir.

We use Eventbrite for smaller, local events (such as regional happy hours or lunch & learns) that our non-Marketo team members set up and run. The integration between Eventbrite and Salesforce was not allowing us to capture the data the way we wanted to, so we looked for a way to feed the data from Eventbrite into Marketo, prior to sending it into Salesforce. The solution for us was adjusting our data flow process to utilize “zaps” via Zapier. This step-by-step guide will show you how we were able to integrate our systems to capture the data we need. Side Note: Zapier offers a 14-day free trial which will allow you to test this functionality to see if it will work for your organization. WHAT YOU NEED TO GET SET UP: Admin access to Marketo, Eventbrite and Zapier Unique email address to create Zapier/Marketo connection (ex: zapierapi@yourcompany.com) Custom Field: Eventbrite ID (this may or may not already be available – just check ) PROCESS TO GET SET UP: Step 1: Add Eventbrite and Marketo to your “Connected Accounts” within Zapier Connect Eventbrite account to Zapier account Connect Marketo account to Zapier account Follow the instructions found here to obtain your Client ID, Secret and Domain Please note: You will need to create an alias email address to connect the Zapier API to your Marketo instance (ex: zapierapi@yourcompany.com) Step 2: Create Zap to capture event “registration” in EventBrite and feed the data into Marketo EVENTBRITE: Create the event in Eventbrite. Make adjustments to the “order form” as needed to ensure that the appropriate fields are being captured upon registration. If certain fields are necessary to add to your database, make sure that they are “required” fields on the order form (ex. First Name, Last Name, Company Name, Email Address, etc.). Make your event “live” and submit a test registration (you’ll be able to remove the test later). MARKETO: Create a list in your Marketo Lead Database to capture registrants. For scalability, it’s recommended that you create a “Zap Lists” folder under your “Group Lists” folder. Use a naming convention that will clearly identify which list should be associated with which event. We use the date of the event as the unique identifier (ex: 160629 NE Happy Hour - Registered) MARKETO: Create an Event program in Marketo. If you would like to use the Marketo Events app to check people in at the event, be sure that you use the appropriate channel for your program. In the “Setup” tab, be sure to add your period costs, appropriate tags, and analytics behavior. Also, be sure to “schedule” your event if you plan to use the Marketo Events App for attendee check-in. MARKETO: Create a smart campaign to add the appropriate registrants to the event program. SMART LIST: Trigger: Added to List > List Name is [insert the list name you created in Lead Database to capture registrants] Filter: Eventbrite Id > Eventbrite Id is [leave blank until you obtain the id from Zapier] FLOW: Change Program Status > Program [the program you created] New Status: [channel > registered] Please note: You can create whatever additional flow steps or smart campaigns you need to facilitate your program. The above are just the basics needed to associate the lead with the program for the Zapier dataflow process described here. ZAPIER: Once you’ve completed the items listed below, select the “Make a Zap!” button. Be sure to clearly name your Zap, so you know what event and action the Zap represents: The Eventbrite and Marketo accounts are connected The event has been created in Eventbrite The event registration list has been created in the Lead Database (Marketo) The event program has been created in Marketing Activities (Marketo) Create Step 1 of the Zap. Follow the document titled “Use Zapier for Registration” for visual guide of the following steps: Select Eventbrite for your trigger app Select “New Attendee” for your Eventbrite Trigger Select the appropriate Eventbrite account Select Event Status is “live” Select Event is [the event you created in Eventbrite] Review the details of the attendee registration to obtain the “Eventbrite ID”. MARKETO: Copy that “Event ID” and insert it into your event program smart campaign in Marketo. This will ensure that the appropriate registrants are being associated with the appropriate events. Please note: event_id = Eventbrite id Create Step 2 of the Zap. Follow the document titled “Use Zapier for Registration” for visual guide of the following steps: Select Marketo for your action app Select “Create or Update Lead” as your Marketo action Select the appropriate Marketo account Associate the fields captured via the Eventbrite order form with the appropriate fields in the Marketo database. Not all fields need to be associated. This step is unique to your organization. Email is the only “required” field and you must populate the “Eventbrite Id” field with the appropriate information. Create Step 3 of the Zap. Follow the document titled “Use Zapier for Registration” for visual guide of the following steps: Select Marketo for your action app Select “Add Lead to List” as your Marketo action Select the appropriate Marketo account To Set up Marketo Lead to List, select List = [the list you created in the Lead Database for registrants]; select Lead = Use a custom value, Custom Value for Lead ID = Step 2 ID You will be able to verify that the registration process fired appropriately by reviewing your list in the Lead Database and the event program in your Marketing Activities section within your Marketo instance. Step 3: Create Zap to capture event “check-in” in EventBrite and feed the data into Marketo The hang up we’ve run into with the Marketo Events app is that you have to use a tablet to “check in” event attendees. With Eventbrite, our reps have the ability to use their phones to check people in, which tends to be easier for our organization. This is why we set up a Zap to push “check in” data from Eventbrite into Marketo. Please note: if you’re using the Marketo Events app to track attendees, you do not need to set up a Zap to push attendee data from EventBrite into Marketo. This is only needed if you will be “checking in” attendees via the EventBrite app/platform. MARKETO: Create a List in your Marketo Lead Database section to capture event attendees. Use a naming convention that will clearly identify which list should be associated with which event. We use the date of the event as the unique identifier (ex: 160629 NE Happy Hour - Attended) MARKETO: Add a smart campaign to your event program that will listen for registrants to “check-in” to the event. SMART LIST: Trigger: Added to List > List Name is [insert the list name you created in Lead Database to capture attendees] Filter Eventbrite Id > Eventbrite Id is [same id from the “add to program” smart list created in previous steps] FLOW: Change Program Status > Program [the program you created] New Status: [channel > attended] You can create whatever additional flow steps or smart campaigns you need to facilitate your program. The above are just the basics needed to associate the lead status change with the program. EVENTBRITE: Go into your event in Eventbrite and mark your test registrant as “check-in” to update the status ZAPIER: Create Step 1 of the Zap. Follow the document titled “Use Zapier for Attendees” for visual guide of the following steps: Select the “Make a Zap!” button Select Eventbrite for your trigger app Select “New Attendee Check-In” for your Eventbrite trigger (this option may appear under “show less common options”) Select the appropriate Eventbrite account Select the correct event associated with the “check-in” for the Eventbrite Attendee Create Step 2 of the Zap. Follow the document titled “Use Zapier for Attendees” for visual guide of the following steps: Select Marketo for your action app Select “Create or Update Lead” as your Marketo action Select the appropriate Marketo account Associate the appropriate fields in Eventbrite with the fields in Marketo. For this step you only need to associate the “email address (profile email)” and the “Eventbrite id (event id)”. This lead (if new to your database) was already created in your registration zap. Create Step 3 of the Zap. Follow the document titled “Use Zapier for Attendees” for visual guide of the following steps: Select Marketo for your action app Select “Add Lead to List” as your Marketo action Select the appropriate Marketo account To Set up Marketo Lead to List, select List = [the list you created in the Lead Database for attendees]; select Lead = Use a custom value, Custom Value for Lead ID = Step 2 ID You will be able to verify that the check in process fired appropriately by reviewing your list in the Lead Database and the event program in your Marketing Activities section within your Marketo instance. Congratulations! You’re all set up. Remember to remove your test registrants/attendees from the Marketo program. You’ll also want to be sure to turn your zaps “on” before collecting registrants/attendees. Another thing to consider is that Zapier charges based on the amount of zaps being used. You may want to consider deleting the zaps once the event is completed, so you will not be charged.

Whether you’re new to Marketo or trying to clean up a mess, you may wonder what you can do to keep your Marketing Activities organized within your instance. Through hiccups and hair pulling, our team has finally discovered a great way to keep ourselves organized, which has enabled us to work more efficiently. Take a look at what we’ve done and determine if it’s the right fit for your organization. In the Marketing Activities section of our Marketo instance, our main folders are set up to represent different activities that are performed in Marketo. Example: >Active Marketing Programs >Demand Generation Programs >Customer Support / Operational Activities >Operational >Archive Folder >Learning Folder Within those folders, we have additional folders that are broken out by the various channels we use. *Active Marketing Programs example below Example: >Active Marketing Programs > Digital Ads > Email Blasts > Events > Newsletter > PPC > Website Within those folders, we've create more descriptive folders for the various campaigns running in each channel. *Event example below Example: >Active Marketing Programs > Digital Ads > Email Blasts > Events > Trade Shows > Webinars > Newsletter > PPC > Website We have several campaigns running in each channel, so we've built out folders to specify by a specified time frame (year and quarter). *Webinars example below Example: >Active Marketing Programs > Digital Ads > Email Blasts > Events > Trade Shows > Webinars > 2015 Webinars > Q1 – 2015 Webinars > Q2 – 2015 Webinars > Q3 – 2015 Webinars > Q4 – 2015 Webinars > Newsletter > PPC > Website Within the specified time frame folder is where we house our individual campaign folders that contain our programs and other local assets for the campaign. For these folders, I’ve found it helpful to follow a very structured naming convention. This helps to ensure that our instance stays organized and everyone working in our instance knows how to label items. My recommendation would be to use the channel type, the date (YYMMDD) and brief description of the program (for our webinars we use the time of the webinar, the service name we're promoting, and the target audience of the campaign). Below is an example of our webinar folder structure. Example: >Active Marketing Programs > Digital Ads > Email Blasts > Events > Trade Shows > Webinars > 2015 Webinars > Q1 – 2015 Webinars > Webinar – 150205 11 AM SERVICE A – PERSONA 3 > Q2 – 2015 Webinars > Q3 – 2015 Webinars > Q4 – 2015 Webinars > Newsletter > PPC > Website This folder houses our event program for the webinar (the event program has the same naming structure as the folder). We also use the same naming structure for our SFDC Campaign Name. Check with your Sales team to see if that’s a viable option for your organization. The folder also houses our "granular channel programs" that we use to attribute success to the various channels we use to drive traffic to the webinar event (such as PPC, email, social, etc.). Happy Building!

Creating an A/B Test program in Marketo Create a new Program in Marketo: 2. Choose the Campaign folder, provide the program name and choose the program type and the channel: Channel should be Email blast 3. Create a new asset within the program: 4. Choose Email program as the asset: The idea of creating Email program as an asset within a program is to have the ability to track progression statuses in a better way with the original program being the one tracking statuses. 5. Give a Program name and choose the type and channel: 6. Create an email within the email program and approve the email: 7. Go to the Email program created: 8. Choose the email created and approved in the steps above: 9. Add the A/B Test to your email: 10. A/B Testing can be done based on Subject Line, Whole emails, from address and date time: 11. For this example let’s choose subject line: 12. Define the subject lines for the email on which we are trying to test and choose the sample size of the test: In the above example, we chose 20% as the sample size and we have 4 subject lines to test. So 5% of the audience list will each receive email with a particular subject line and the winner will be send to the remaining 80%. 13. Define the Winner criteria based on which the email would be treated as a winner and you can also declare winner manually after viewing the test results: 14. Schedule the test and the winner, choose the email address you want to send notification to: 15. Click on Finish: 16.Verify the details and click on close: 17. Define the smartlist(audience) for this email send: 18. Define the filters for the smart list: 19. The audience details will be reflected in the program now: 20. Approve the program: 21. Once the test is run successfully, the results can be seen as shown below:

I created this as I was studying for the Revenue Cycle Analytics exam. I tried so hard to understand Attributions in Marketo by watching a video about attribution in Marketo University, as well as reading the Product Docs. However, it took me so long until I am able to fill in data for the attribution tables. The Revenue Cycle Analytics Certification may be closed soon, but I do hope my note and explanation would be beneficial, and would complement Marketo's Product Docs in regards to understanding Attributions

Marketo Users often create a Trigger Campaign to trigger "Clicks Link” or “Open Email” activities on AB Test Email Program. They are surprised that they cannot find the emails in question under the Smart List drop menu for the trigger (1). Or, they successfully selected the Emails without issue and activated the Trigger Campaign, but after all it is throwing errors (2). What happened? 1. When Emails are used under AB Test Email Program, their name is wrapped with the Program Name + Test Type Name. E.g. TEST AB TESTING.Whole Emails Test (it will look different depending on Test Type you select. But, it will always start with the Program Name). Then, targeted Emails name can be located under Constraint Trigger “Test Variant” as shown below (Emails Name here are Email A/Email B & Test Type: Whole Emails): Note that Link & Test Variant can be found under “Add Constraint”. Also, it is very important to approve the AB Test Program before you create the Trigger Campaign otherwise those data won’t be available there for you to use. 2. Errors can be the result of not activating the AB Test Email Program before doing so for the related Trigger Campaign. Because, if it is activated in the first place there is no way to find the Emails' Name under the Trigger Smart List. Meaning that after initiating the AB Test, the system can no longer retrieve the targeted Emails name. Consequently, you get an error under the Trigger Campaign Smart List and it won’t fire.

Included in this article Summary Since the “Is Anonymous” filter is being removed, Analytics reports won’t be able to add it into the smart list of the report. The “Is Anonymous” filter will be taken out of the available filters that can be chosen, but is not removed from any Smart Lists where it is currently in use. For more information about removing the filter, please visit the Customer Action documentation here. Reporting on Anonymous Web Activity Just because the “Is Anonymous” filter is being removed doesn’t mean you can’t get reports on anonymous web activity. The Web Page Activity Report and the Company Web Activity Report will continue to show anonymous web activity. To get anonymous activity to show in the report, follow these steps: 1. Navigate to the Setup tab and double click on the “Activity Source” setting. 2. In the dialog box, select which source you'd like to view. Your report will now show anonymous web activity! Affected Reports Not all Analytics reports allow smart lists, so not all Analytics reports will be affected by this upgrade. The reports below will be the ones affected and will have the "Is Anonymous" filter removed: Web Page Activity Company Web Activity Email Performance Lead Performance Engagement Stream Performance Email Link Performance Lead By Revenue Stage Leads By Status Sales Insight Email Performance

March 2023 update: The deprecation of the legacy URL patterns will occur on August 1, 2023. June 2022 update: We have decided to extend the deadline until the end of 2022 with support of old URL patterns ending in January 2023. More information to be provided once a precise date has been chosen. In 2021, Marketo Engage made changes to the URL structure for Landing Pages, Forms, and Images & Files assets. On August 1, 2023 we will be deprecating usage of old URL structures and these references will no longer load on the web. Why is this change being made? Technical Details Landing Pages Images & Files Forms What customer action is required? Why is this change being made? When a Marketo Engage subscription is not configured with a branded CNAME, Design Studio assets use a common hostname shared among all customers on the same pod. This behavior can be exploited in a phishing attack where a user cannot be sure a link to a Marketo Engage hosted asset belongs to the business they expect it to belong to. By updating each instance to use its own unique hostname, it is clearer to users the destination of URLs they are accessing. Now that all Marketo Engage subscriptions have been migrated to our new URL structure for some time, we will be ending support to the legacy, more vulnerable URL structure. Technical Details Landing Pages, Form embed code, and resources stored in Images & Files had URLs updated from a hostname shared among all subscriptions on the pod to a hostname unique to each Marketo Engage subscription. Subscriptions configured to use a custom CNAME for their landing pages were minimally affected by this change. Landing Pages Subscriptions without a configured landing page domain Landing page paths will changed to a unique hostname for your subscription. Legacy: http://na-sj01.marketo.com/lp/123-ABC-456/unsubscribePage.html Current: http://123-ABC-456.mktoweb.com/lp/123-ABC-456/unsubscribePage.html Subscriptions with a configured landing page domain Landing pages will continue to load from your configured landing page domain. No changes will be made. Before: http://example.marketo.com/unsubscribePage.html After: http://example.marketo.com/unsubscribePage.html Images & Files Subscriptions without a configured landing page domain Paths to resources stored in Images & Files changed to a unique hostname for your subscription. Legacy: http://na-sj01.marketo.com/rs/123-ABC-456/images/cuteKitten.png Current: http://123-ABC-456.mktoweb.com/rs/123-ABC-456/images/cuteKitten.png Subscriptions with a configured landing page domain Resources stored in Images & Files will continue to load from your configured landing page domain. No changes will be made. Before: http://example.marketo.com/rs/123-ABC-456/images/cuteKitten.png After: http://example.marketo.com/rs/123-ABC-456/images/cuteKitten.png Forms Subscriptions without a configured landing page domain OR subscriptions without landing pages secured by SSL Legacy: <script src="//app-sj01.marketo.com/js/forms2/js/forms2.min.js"></script> <form id="mktoForm_1"></form> <script>MktoForms2.loadForm("//app-sj01.marketo.com", "123-ABC-456", 1);</script> Current: <script src="//123-ABC-456.mktoweb.com/js/forms2/js/forms2.min.js"></script> <form id="mktoForm_1"></form> <script>MktoForms2.loadForm("//123-ABC-456.mktoweb.com", "123-ABC-456", 1);</script> Subscriptions with a configured landing page domain secured by SSL In our October 2020 release, we updated our form embed code to load from the landing page domain when it is secured by SSL. No further changes will be made. Before: <script src="//example.marketo.com/js/forms2/js/forms2.min.js"></script> <form id="mktoForm_1"></form> <script>MktoForms2.loadForm("//example.marketo.com", "123-ABC-456", 1);</script> After: <script src="//example.marketo.com/js/forms2/js/forms2.min.js"></script> <form id="mktoForm_1"></form> <script>MktoForms2.loadForm("//example.marketo.com", "123-ABC-456", 1);</script> What customer action is required? You will need to audit the source code of your web pages to see if these URL patterns are in use by your business. If you have web pages or form usage that pre-date 2021 it is possible they are using the legacy URL pattern. Most customers configure a CNAME and secure it via SSL early in the life of their instance, minimizing the impact on Images & Files URLs. Prior to our October 2021 release, all form embed codes used the legacy URL structure. If you have usage of Marketo forms from prior to 2021 it is very likely they will need to be updated to use the new URL pattern, which can be found by copying the form embed code from the Form asset page. For Marketo Landing Pages and Emails, if you used the Image picker or Form picker that are included in the Landing Page editor or Email editor then no change is necessary. If you hard coded references to images or forms using the legacy URL pattern instead of using the pickers then these references will need to be updated to the new URL pattern. Customer Support does not have the ability to perform this audit for you. To begin preparing for this change, we suggest doing the following: Configure your Landing Page URLs with a CNAME https://docs.marketo.com/display/public/DOCS/Customize+Your+Landing+Page+URLs+with+a+CNAME Secure your Landing Pages with SSL https://docs.marketo.com/display/public/DOCS/Add+SSL+to+Your+Landing+Pages Begin updating pages where you embed Marketo Engage forms with the new embed code introduced in our October 2020 release (requires secured landing pages) Begin an audit of where you reference Design Studio assets on the web. This will help you begin a plan to update any existing references to our older URL structure before we begin deprecation in August 2023. Generally this will be on non-Marketo pages, as our Landing Page editor will automatically format embedded images and forms in a compatible manner. Only references hardcoded to the old URL structure need to be updated, e.g. http://na-sj01.marketo.com/rs/123-ABC-456/images/cuteKitten.png. Relative references will continue to work without need changes e.g. /rs/123-ABC-456/images/cuteKitten.png. Please work with your web developer to determine where you may need to make updates.

Included in this article Overview Over the past year, we've been working to make some changes to the Marketo platform. As part of this initiative, we’ve updated naming conventions for some of our products and made some changes to the UI. That includes the following: Changes to Marketo Field Names The words “Lead/Leads” have been replaced with “Person/People” and in some cases “Sales”, throughout the Marketo solution. In some cases, we’ve removed the word “Lead” completely. For example, “Lead Database” has been replaced with “Database.” These changes will be reflected in standard field names. (See below for a complete list) Lead tokens will remain unchanged. Changes to Real-Time Personalization Real Time Personalization (RTP) has been renamed to “Web Personalization.” If you have this feature enabled, you will see this name change along with a new tile in MyMarketo to access it. “Predictive Content” is accessible now via its own tile in MyMarketo. Changes to Marketo Docs Marketo documentation will be updated to reflect these terminology changes in the near future. In the interim, you may see references to “Lead/Leads” in the docs. Please note that all instructions currently listed in the docs remain the same. Field Names and Tokens The following changes have been made to Marketo Field Names. Tokens will not be changed. Previously Named Now Named Field Name: Lead Owner Email Address Token: {{lead.Lead Owner Email Address}} Field Name: Sales Owner Email Address Token: {{lead.Lead Owner Email Address}} Field Name: Lead Owner First Name Token: {{lead.Lead Owner First Name}} Field Name: Sales Owner First Name Token: {{lead.Lead Owner First Name}} Field Name: Lead Owner Last Name Token: {{lead.Lead Owner Last Name}} Field Name: Sales Owner Last Name Token: {{lead.Lead Owner Last Name}} Field Name: Lead Owner Job Title Token: {{lead.Lead Owner Job Title}} Field Name: Sales Owner Job Title Token: {{lead.Lead Owner Job Title}} Field Name: Lead Owner Phone Number Token: {{lead.Lead Owner Phone Number}} Field Name: Sales Owner Phone Number Token: {{lead.Lead Owner Phone Number}} Field Name: Lead Notes Token: {{lead.Person Notes}} Field Name: Person Notes Token: {{lead.Person Notes}} Field Name: Lead Partition Token: {{lead.Lead Partition}} Field Name: Partition Token: {{lead.Lead Partition}} Field Name: Lead Rating Token: {{lead.Lead Rating}} Field Name: Rating Token: {{lead.Lead Rating}} Field Name: Lead Revenue Cycle Model Token: N/A Field Name: Revenue Cycle Model Token: N/A Field Name: Lead Revenue Stage Token: N/A Field Name: Revenue Stage Token: N/A Field Name: Lead Score Token: {{lead.Lead Score}} Field Name: Score Token: {{lead.Lead Score}} Field Name: Lead Status Token: {{lead.Lead Status}} Field Name: Status Token: {{lead.Lead Status}} For more information about Tokens, please see the Tokens Overview article. Real Time Personalization (RTP) Real Time Personalization (RTP) has been renamed to “Web Personalization.” If you have this feature enabled, you will see this name change, along with a new tile in MyMarketo to access it. Old New Although references to "Lead/Leads" has been changed to "Person/People" in these apps, the term "Visitors" will remain. This is because Leads/People refers to known people that exist in your database, while Visitor refers to all web visitors (both known and anonymous). For more in depth information about what Web Personalization can do, check out our documentation at Web Personalization - RTP. Predictive Content Our “Predictive Content” product is now accessible in MyMarketo, via its own tile. Predictive Content is the new name for RTP’s Content Recommendation Engine, which allows content assets to be promoted to people visiting your website. It has been upgraded and now will not only engage your web visitors, but also your email recipients with the most relevant content, powered by machine learning and predictive analytics. New For more information about Predictive Content, check out our documentation at Predictive Content. Lead Database The following changes have been made to Lead Database terminology. Previously Named Now Named Lead Database Database Lead Person Leads People

You may want to track history of Marketo Forms filled out by your Leads so you can identify which Form was filled out first or last. What I am going to share with you today, will give you an idea about how you can easily implement this under your Marketo instance. 1. Requirements 1.2 Field(s) You will have to create two (2) Fields under Marketo only, if you don’t want their data to be synced to your CRM account. Otherwise, the Fields must be created under Lead/Contact Objects in your CRM (E.g. Salesforce). Make sure there are visible to the Marketo Sync User and that he has Read & Write access on it. They will be then synced to Marketo and ready to use. Let us name the Fields here Last Form & Last Form History. Links below must be useful for creating Fields in: - Marketo: http://docs.marketo.com/display/public/DOCS/Create+a+Custom+Field+in+Marketo - Salesforce: https://help.salesforce.com/articleView?id=adding_fields.htm&type=0 Note that an Admin Role is required in both cases. - Fields should be “Text” type as shown below: 1.3 A Trigger Campaign - A Trigger Campaign that will fire when a Lead fills out any Form as shown below under the Smart List Tab: - And the Flow should be set as the following: Remember to set the Campaign under the Schedule Tab so a Lead can go through the Flow every time. Please consider the link below to learn more about it: - http://docs.marketo.com/display/public/DOCS/Edit+Qualification+Rules+in+a+Smart+Campaign 2. Expected result When a Lead fills out a Form, if the Last Form field is empty it will be updated with the Form name. And so the Last Form History. The next time he fills out another Form, the new Form name will overwrite the existing data in the Last Form Field. The Last Form History one will be also updated.

Hi All, I recently inherited a marketo database and am new to administrating the platform in general. I come from a salesforce background and have been spoiled at having the ability to look up what each permission does and exactly what it controls. I've searched out there for something similar with marketo and haven't had a whole lot of luck finding a consolidated document that describes the roles well. I have tried compiling my own and there were a few things I didn't know, but if there is an expert out there, can you take a glance at this and let me know if I've misunderstood any of the permissions? Thank you! Kelly Access Admin Access Admin: Ability to click on ‘Admin’ in the upper right corner of Marketo. Also allows user to see Admin | My Account.

I feel like Marketo's own documentation is a little weak in this respect, since it only lists permissions without explaining what those permissions actually control. To answer a few of your questions: 1e/1m. For whatever reason, Marketo has the permissions for data.com and MKDenial defined even on instances that do not subscribe to either service. 1i. I believe this specifically refers to the ability to upload files other than images in Design Studio, but would love clarification from Marketo. 7a. This specifically refers to the ability to create and administer workspaces themselves; granting a user access to workspaces is actually done when assigning individual users roles (since you may want someone to be an admin of one workspace, but have less permissions on another, for instance.) Also, throwing this one out there: what is "Access/Administer Vespa"? I completely realized I posted this under my test user's account and not my own. *sigh* Is there anyway to change the ownership of the thread? If not, no worries. Wow, this is a great summary! While I haven't verified every role to be correct, I would highly encourage the Marketo documentation/education team to add this to product docs. Hi Frank Passantino, Might be interesting to you -Greg Hi: Thanks for publishing this! As a word of warning: I was recently told by Support that certain rights are not entirely dependent on that check box in the role. For instance, if you have a user you would like to manage communication limits and the global footer, they need to be the default Admin, despite checking that box when creating a custom role. I would really like to see an easier way to manage access in the application. I have users I want to empower for every Marketing-related functionality, but, because we are fully integrated with several other databases within our company, I need to keep tight restraints on mass edits to the database, field creation/additions, etc. This is the first application I worked with that makes administration this murky. I haven't run full tests on each of the admin functions you outlined, but I know communication limits and the footer are dependent on the user having full admin rights. Channel Tags are not; you can give a user access to these without granting full admin privileges. Noted. Thank you for mentioning that. Hi Kelly, Thank you for documenting all of this! Quick question.. Clone Marketing Asset: allows the user to clone a marketing asset. Does this permission encompass cloning entire programs? I'm researching the possibility of allowing an international user who works in one work space the ability to clone programs from the US work space. Yes, Anna, when cloning a Program, it will clone all assets/items underneath. The ability to Clone items under Marketing Activities encompasses this as well. Sharing a document page I came across today, as I'm researching what permissions/access each role has. Looks like you got the list covered!

Included in this article: Overview Marketo provides several options to help you decide whether a person should receive emails. The options within Marketo Sales Insight (MSI) can alter this behavior, so this article will go through what those differences are. How Marketo Decides Whether to Send an Email There are three ways that marketing emails can be stopped from being sent by Marketo. Full details can be found here Understanding Unsubscribe - Marketo Docs but here's a recap: People have the option to unsubscribe from emails. If they unsubscribe, marketing emails will be blocked, but operational emails will still be sent. If the email hard bounces, Marketo will mark the email as invalid, which blocks all further emails. If your organization wants to block emails to particular people, there two options: “Marketing Suspended” will block Marketing emails, but not operational emails (e.g. an email with a whitepaper that was requested via a form fill-out). “Black Listed” means that this person will not receive any emails of any kind (e.g. used for competitors). Emails Sent from Sales Insight Default setting Emails sent through MSI are sent depending on the settings in Marketo Admin > Sales Insight. The standard out-of-the-box settings for these 'sales emails' is to "Show Unsubscribe Footer" for "All Emails". Unsubscribe footers Unsubscribe footer included If the Unsubscribe Footer is included in the email, then the email will be considered a marketing email. MSI will therefore "Respect Unsubscribe Settings" by following the record's Unsubscribe/Suspended/Blacklisted/Invalid status. Unsubscribe footer not included Emails not showing the footer will "Ignore Unsubscribe Settings" and are sent regardless of whether the email address is Invalid, Unsubscribed, Marketing Suspended or Blacklisted. MSI Email Setting Types There are 3 types of sales emails sent from MSI: Standard Marketo marketing emails, emails marked Operational in Marketo, and emails without templates in MSI. The settings in Admin > Sales Insight will determine whether each type is sent or not. Note: Communication Limits do not ever apply to emails sent from MSI or from the Outlook/Gmail plugin. Standard Marketo marketing emails Marketing emails from Marketo will either "Respect Unsubscribe Settings" or "Ignore Unsubscribe Settings" depending on which option is chosen. If set to "Ignore Unsubscribe Settings", the email will always be sent unless the email is invalid. Emails set as Operational in Marketo Marketo's operational emails published to MSI will only be sent if the setting is to "Ignore Unsubscribe Settings". Emails without templates in MSI If an email is sent through MSI but is not drafted off of a Marketo email that has been published to MSI, then it is not linked back to a Marketo email. The footer that contains the unsubscribe information is appended to Marketo marketing emails. If the email is not drafted in Marketo but instead is drafted from within MSI, then that footer never gets appended to the email, so therefore there's no way for it to even consider unsubscribe settings. How Deliveries are Logged When emails are delivered, they will appear in the Email tab of Sales Insight in that record. If the email was blocked (unsubscribed, invalid email, etc.), there won't be any indication that it was blocked, but the email won't show in the Email tab. Emails sent by Marketo will show the Marketo logo. Emails sent by MSI won't show this logo. Note: this is true even if it is the exact same email sent. Outlook / Gmail Plug-in Emails sent from the Outlook/Gmail plug-in are always sent. These emails are sent through your own Outlook/Gmail and not through Marketo. Because the emails are not sent from Marketo, there is no check if the record is unsubscribed or blacklisted, etc. If sent with the “Send and Track” button, these emails will be logged in Marketo but they will not be mail merged. All emails that are actually sent (in other words: not blocked) will be visible in the Activity Log in Marketo, Activity History in Salesforce.com (if configured to sync this) and the Email tab in Sales Insight. If an email is blocked it is not recorded anywhere. Send to Email Invalid? Send to Unsubscribed? Send to Marketing Suspended? Send to Blacklisted? If record hit Communication Limits, will the email send? Smart Campaign Normal No No No No No Operational No Yes Yes No Yes Sales Insight in SFDC Show Footer No No No No Yes Hide Footer No Yes Yes Yes Yes Outlook/Gmail Plug-in All Emails Yes Yes Yes Yes Yes

Written by , one of Marketo's Champions. I often get asked where I do my research on various marketing automation and digital marketing topics. When I first started writing this post, I wanted to break out the top 5 blogs—then I gave up. It’s like picking players for the baseball Hall of Fame with only 1 pick. The fact is there are a ton of great resources you can lean on for digital marketing and technology content. In the end, I broke out some of the blogs based on what I consider to be the core part of digital marketing technology–that’s marketing automation and its effect on driving leads through the funnel. Content is the fuel that fills that marketing automation engine so you’ll find several content blogs on the list. And yes, there are a couple miscellaneous blogs included because the content is so good. What’s not included: There are some great general marketing, SEO and social blogs but they are not included in this list. And yes, I’m probably missing a bunch—I apologize in advance. If there are sites you find useful, please note them in the comments. A special thanks goes out to our content manager Alyssa Reeves who helped pull together this nearly 2,000-word post. The Blog Categories I did however break up the blogs into categories. Top Overall – Expert Blogs. These blogs may fall across several categories but they rise to the top in the content they provide. Marketing Automation/Technology Vendor Blogs. There are hundreds of vendor digital technology blogs out there. I focused on marketing automation blogs as I view these platforms as the engine that everything else feeds into. Professional Services and Agency Blogs. Like the vendors, these blogs put out some great best practice content. Blogs with a Marketo Twist. I am a little biased to Marketo so blogs that highlight Marketo get a little extra attention. Top Overall – Expert Blogs These blogs rise to the top for blogs to check out. There is some overlap with the agencies but the way I broke it out…if I think of the leader before the agency, the site falls into this bucket. Otherwise, the site drops into the Services category.
