  • Re: Email hosting provider of Leads/Contacts bulk MX record look up

    For us, MessageLabs -- which we ourselves use -- was swallowing (i.e. silently deleting) our messages at a certain point, though everything content-, DNS-, and blacklist-wise looked good to us. We were asked to run the report to get an approximate % of our lead database that did not receive emails ...

    Liked for "to avoid having Sales write in nasty comments that accidentally get displayed back to the lead". It's always good when we talk about real-world stuff!

  • Re: Email hosting provider of Leads/Contacts bulk MX record look up

    I've done exactly this report, but didn't bring the results back into Marketo -- bear in mind that even if you bulk-update 300 leads at a time you can use up a lot of your 10,000 API calls per day.All I did is a dump to Excel, then ran the results through Windows' built-in nslookup. Remember, MX re...

  • Re: Lead Segementation without using segments

    It sounds like using the API's Request Campaign method, with which you can pass ad hoc tokens used in outbound emails, would help: http://developers.marketo.com/documentation/rest/request-campaign/

  • Re: "Clicks link" choice within flow step does not work

    Ah yes...out of the flow and into the trigger, I see what you're saying now. Never bothered to use flow choices like the original concept myself.

  • Re: Lead Segementation without using segments

    I'm not sure what you're asking because certainly any Smart List/Campaign is capable of filtering on hidden fields that you use to record lead source. But SL./SC and Segs don't have the same purpose. What exactly do you mean by "separate out" -- to customize a single mailing?

  • Re: "Clicks link" choice within flow step does not work

    That makes sense... had your original description of the situation been accurate I hope you can see how my workaround would apply.However, I don't see two separate trigger campaigns being a full solution, because as the support tech says, "... if a lead has a Click Link activity in its Activity Log....

  • Re: "Clicks link" choice within flow step does not work

    The Clicked Link activity is being logged in the context of the current page, thus you end up searching on the current page.By changing the Clicked Link to being logged on the target page/download, the same search will match the target, not the source.

  • Re: "Clicks link" choice within flow step does not work

    @Dan If you're into JS, think about replacing the automatic Munchkin click tracking with custom calls to clickLink. That way -- I'm pretty sure, at least -- you can use the target link in place of the referrer and Marketo will log the link as having come both "from" and "to" the link you're looking ...

    Well, yes and (I think) no. You can post previously unknown fields with the form and they will be stored in the Filled Out Form activity. But AFAIK they can't be transformed into tokens unless you first used the API to scan the records and then did an API Request Campaign.
