I'm a web, database, and network architect based in NYC, with specializations in the financial services, publishing, and SaaS sectors. I build complex Marketo integrations for companies large and small... and can make Marketo forms and emails do things you never thought possible! Check out my blog at https://blog.teknkl.com, which has Marketo-specific technical insights you won't see anywhere else, along with wider topics from my programming and systems work.

    If you went directly to a binary/downloadable then you won't have any tracking at all. For the future: blog.teknkl.com/stop-using-direct-download-links-unless-you-like-losing-tracking/

  • Re: Marketo Tokens: Ins and Outs

    There's no Clicked Link activity for an untracked link, that's what "tracking" means! An untracked link goes straight to the destination webpage. Of course, there it will result (if Munchkin is running) in a Visits Web Page activity, provided the lead already has an associated Munchkin session. But ...

    Person A who is in this smart list is acquired by the program that she was sent the f2f email. I don't have the received F2F trigger in this program so does Marketo automatically tag these people to the program? Yes!

    First Name, Last Name, and Email are all gathered (there's been no change here) -- and that coincides with your observations, no?

    I think it's technically, if you put an ultra-fine point on it, right (since the act of importing the list can be completed without the setting of the AP). But IMO you're still right to strongly question it. Like so many others, it's needlessly confusing and nothing is gained by a "gotcha" that isn'...

  • Re: Sample Questions for MCE Exam: Program Fundamentals

    I completely agree... Opens are directional at best. Especially so when you send text-centric emails, where the only visible image might be in the a signature, so there's no incentive for the lead to enable images.I still don't really understand why "Whole Emails" is considered the right answer.Bec...

  • Re: Sample Questions for MCE Exam: Program Fundamentals

    Question 20 - Which type of A/B test would you not run if you want to improve your open rates? - Why is the answer to this "Whole Emails"? Idea being that the Whole Email will already be viewed in order to register an Open. This is in fact fallacious, because the Open depends on downloading images, ...
