Hi Ivan, it looks like you're missing a "container". You need to define a container that contains any and all modules for the template (and the container can have only modules inside it, nothing else)   See https://docs.marketo.com/display/public/DOCS/Email+Template+Syntax#EmailTemplateSyntax-Containers   Specified using either <table>, <tbody>, <thead>, <tfoot> or <td> with class=”mktoContainer”   Hope this helps! ...

Great tip about the ways to set the acquisition program! Reminder for folks that if you're using a Marketo form embedded on a web page (vs. in a Marketo landing page), you must use the flow step to capture acquisition program. ... View more

So important! You don't want to have an agency create "email templates" for you that aren't actually editable in Marketo, or to propose a solution that would work only in a totally different industry/business case from that of your organization. Just creates more work for you and you'll have to hire another consultant to fix the situation. ... View more

Awesome! It might be helpful to offer definitions for some of the filters. Like what's the difference between "Marketo documentation" and "Knowledgebase". Or that "Ideas" is suggestions for the product development team. ... View more

Love it! Especially about archiving folders from past time periods that you no longer need cluttering up the instance. One of the challenges is making sure everyone is using the same abbreviations and order in the naming conventions. (e.g. CM-19F not Fall2019-CMkt). Using a spreadsheet formula like you shared is a great way to keep it consistent. We saved a naming convention/abbreviation guide on the staff intranet, but it would be awesome if this info could be displayed within Marketo itself... But you can save programs/assets in the center of excellence that follow the naming conventions and hopefully they will be good examples for people to follow as they clone. ... View more

Super helpful to know! We had been using Qualtrics surveys quite a bit, and used a reusable custom field in Marketo to import PURLs generated by Qualtrics. And then to send reminders to those who hadn't taken the survey, we had to do a static list import for the contacts who did fill out the survey as an exclusion list. Sounds like this integration would save some of these steps and enable additional communications in Marketo based on the responses. ... View more

Great tips, Chloe & crew! I would note that it's often helpful to dig a little if the underlying marketing strategy isn't very clear, such as a directive that seems more like a tactic than a strategy (e.g. we need to send 5 emails! we need to add "favorite color" to the form!) Then you'll know what you're actually aiming for and can apply the right Marketo tip! ... View more

Why and when do you move assets from one workspace to another?   Item was accidentally created in wrong workspace Plans changed and another group will be managing/editing the program/assets Cloning to mimic a past program that was originally created in another workspace Wishful thinking: While it currently isn't possible to move a program that has members (i.e. email send program that already went out), as we create/retire workspaces based on org structure changes (we pretty much have a workspace for each separate department) it would be nice to be able to move programs into the relevant workspace. Note: We create some things in the default workspace (so we can better manage centrally) and then share out to the other workspaces - so it isn't moving them, but still making them available to the other workspaces Why and when do you move assets between marketing activities and the design studio?  I don't think we have ever done this. I can't imagine a reason to do so - we only put things in design studio because they can't currently be built in Marketing Activities (e.g. images and email templates). Why and when do you move assets  between  marketing activities and the lead database?   I don't think we have ever done this. We try to build any lists/smart lists that would be referenced by multiple programs in the Lead Database from the get-go. ... View more

Thanks, Kevin! Good point about not adding another tool for them to use. ... View more

Hi Cat, Grace is spot on about the spam traps once being real email addresses. Like us, you probably have alumni who forget to update their contact information. (I've seen Compuserve email addresses!) In addition those who opened and clicked the few emails you have sent out from Marketo, you may be able to rule out potential culprits if you have any records of recent alumni interaction (e.g. donations, event registrations and/or email replies using the email address that's in Marketo). If you have the email reputation powerpack (add-on with Marketo), a trick we've used is to include first name in the subject line, as subject line is listed in the spam trap hits - if they have an unusual name, it's easier to pinpoint. In the absence of these options, you could also try sending emails in small batches to help narrow down to the spam trap. Recipients of an email that didn't hit a spam trap could be eliminated as potential culprits...at least for now. ... View more

Great to hear from more team members. I'd like to hear more about what their role is within the whole Marketo team - what they do on a day to day basis and how that fits into the bigger picture. I can't even begin to imagine how big the team is and all the people who contribute! ... View more

I like meeting the people behind Marketo! We get a chance to interact with our CSMs and support techs, but there are a lot of folks making things happen behind the scenes.
