Database Dashboard Number Not Going Down

by GregDowse 04-30-2025

I'm currently deleting leads in Marketo to reduce our database size, so we don't go over our contract limit. I've deleted over 1000 leads and yet the number on the database dashboard hasn't changed. I deleted these leads a few hours ago and have refreshed the dashboard multiple times.Has anyone expe...

Cvent Integration Sync Bidirectional

by GregDowse 02-05-2024

We recently integrated Cvent with Marketo. Cvent made us believe on multiple calls that the sync was bidirectional. In practice it appears that we can only send data from Cvent into Marketo and not from Marketo to Cvent.We were hoping to automatically register people in Cvent when they registered in...

Turns out email sends have been down all morning and that's why it didn't send.

A/B Test Failed To Send Winner

by GregDowse 07-04-2023

I ran an subject line A/B test and Marketo sent the sample and found a winner. When it came time to send out the email with the winning subject line, Marketo threw an error and skipped the send flow step but doesn't give any information on why. Has anyone ever had this happen to them before?

Re: Spam Bot Form Fills Linked To Emails Not Sent To Them

by GregDowse 06-08-2023

Thanks for the response 1 - Will definitely look into Captcha, haven't had much luck with it in the past and requires a lot of work getting it on all our forms. With two-factor authentication we worry that people won't click on the confirmation email or don't receive it, bad customer experience. Whi...

Re: Spam Bot Form Fills Linked To Emails Not Sent To Them

by GregDowse 06-08-2023

Most of these solutions aren't relevant to our situation. It's definitely coming through email and has never been a problem until now, so something has changed. Not possible to go through the whole database as these emails are going out to about 8000 people. It's not something I've seen spam bots do...

Re: Spam Bot Form Fills Linked To Emails Not Sent To Them

by GregDowse 06-08-2023

UTMs are saying it's Marketo and email. Plus if you look below some of them have this in their activity log. They also only happen after we send out emails about this webinar. We have thought about re-CAPTCHA but it will take up a large amount of resource updating all of our forms. It was never a pr...

Spam Bot Form Fills Linked To Emails Not Sent To Them

by GregDowse 06-08-2023

We've recently noticed an increase in fake form fills from spam bots on a webinar we are planning to run. Name doesn't match email address, job titles are random words and the domains are all blank pages, so very clearly fake. From multiple IP Addresses but in groups of 2 to 4 and the domains from t...

Re: HTML Editor Manipulating Code

by GregDowse 02-23-2023

Thanks for the response. I have already implemented the same solution you suggested below, so good to know that's an agreed upon method. So essentially Marketo is implementing HTML guidelines that are almost a decade out of date. Marketo support wasn't helpful either as they suggested using mktoImg...

HTML Editor Manipulating Code

by GregDowse 02-22-2023

Having an issue when creating a snippet, the code editor is changing the code I put in. Has anyone had this happen before and do you know of any work arounds? Example:
Card Title
Card text
This gets changed to the following:
