You could probably do something using a List variable with values ltr,rtl in the template and then use that to change the value for the direction attribute e.g. https://mjml.io/try-it-live/L4aTkYWjm But depends how you want to display on smaller devices also

Jon_Wright · ‎10-19-2022

Great - thanks!

Jon_Wright · ‎10-19-2022

Thank you (again) Sanford! So convert to UTC then display in Europe/London. Just 1 thing, in your example you set: #set( $ISO8601DateTimeUTC = "yyyy-MM-dd'T'HH:mm:ss" ) Without a Z, is that an omission? It seems to work both with and without, so I'm guessing this is a rare case of Velocity being a bit forgiving?

Jon_Wright · ‎10-19-2022

Hi I'm working with date times in Velocity and struggling to get a date to display in the correct format. I have an incoming date string in the format: '2023-04-04T13:00:00Z'. So the incoming time is 1300 UTC which is 1400 BST I'm using @SanfordWhiteman examples from here: https://blog.teknkl.com/velocity-days-and-weeks/ And wanted to get the date to display as: Tuesday 4 April 14:00 BST But it displays as 13:00 BST instead. Here is my sample code, note the line: #set( $ISO8601DateTimeUTC = "yyyy-MM-dd'T'HH:mm:ss'Z'" ) is not taken from Sanford's blog which I think is the problem, as it seems it's not recognising the format at UTC and rather just a TZ unaware format. Full sample code: #set( $defaultTimeZone = $date.getTimeZone().getTimeZone("Europe/London") ) #set( $defaultLocale = $date.getLocale() ) #set( $calNow = $date.getCalendar() ) #set( $ret = $calNow.setTimeZone($defaultTimeZone) ) #set( $calConst = $field.in($calNow) ) #set( $ISO8601DateOnly = "yyyy-MM-dd" ) #set( $ISO8601DateTime = "yyyy-MM-dd'T'HH:mm:ss" ) #set( $ISO8601DateTimeUTC = "yyyy-MM-dd'T'HH:mm:ss'Z'" ) #set( $ISO8601DateTimeWithSpace = "yyyy-MM-dd HH:mm:ss" ) #set( $ISO8601DateTimeWithMillisUTC = "yyyy-MM-dd'T'HH:mm:ss.SSS'Z'" ) #set( $ISO8601DateTimeWithMillisTZ = "yyyy-MM-dd'T'HH:mm:ss.SSSZ" ) ##set input date #set($input_date = '2023-04-04T13:00:00Z') ##convert input date #set( $input_date = $convert.toCalendar( $convert.parseDate( $input_date, $ISO8601DateTimeUTC, $defaultLocale, $defaultTimeZone ) ) ) ##set date formats #set($format_display = "EEEE d MMMM HH:mm z" ) ##OUTPUT Display format:<br/> $date.format($format_display,$input_date,$defaultLocale,$defaultTimeZone) Thanks!

Totally possible in HTML by setting a background image, but have to allow for how image appears on mobile vs desktop. Also how messages of different length might appear. But super quick example in MJML to get you started: https://mjml.io/try-it-live/0mCBJ2G3C Can play around with the section attributes to get it to display right: https://documentation.mjml.io/#mj-section

Jon_Wright · ‎10-17-2022

So further updated on this if anyone is interested, it seems script tokens do work on a program cloned via the API, but not when the email is within a campaign folder... And a further update to my update. It's not only script tokens that seem to be affected, simple text tokens also don't render when the email is within a folder on the program. Testing my OCD to the limit, deep breath...it's ok for emails not to be in their own folder Right, hopefully final update on this. So issue is actually when folder names contain a period e.g. "3. Emails" - I guess related to same reason you can't use periods in token names themselves, so hyphens it is from now on. @SanfordWhiteman FYI

Jon_Wright · ‎10-14-2022

Hi @SanfordWhiteman - just got around to testing this but seems script tokens do work when creating a new program via the API

Jon_Wright · ‎10-12-2022

Hi Sanford - that was actually cloning via API. I thought it may have been related to fact I was cloning an event program to be a child of another event program. But also tested a clone which wasn't child program and script tokens still didn't work, that was both new and existing script tokens on the program. Haven't tested creating a program from scratch - will test later. Thanks

Jon_Wright · ‎10-11-2022

Hi Seem to have stumbled on another velocity script issue in that script tokens don't appear to work on programs created via the API. There's no error, just seems to ignore the token(s) completely, although inherited script tokens do still appear to work, but that's not much help in the case I'm using it for. Has anyone else experienced this? Thanks Jon

Jon_Wright · ‎10-03-2022

Hi Just wondering if anybody else has noticed some changes to way Velocity script renders emails in preview mode: 1. It seems to display a 'default' version of the email even when no contact has been selected in the preview, I'm sure it used to only render when a person was selected in the 'View by'? 2. Links no longer seem to work in preview, instead they render as something like this: https://email.tmforum.org/dc/$mktEncrypt.encrypt($mkturl14)/MDIxLVdMRC04MTUAAAGHPV5xMEcUVFkngDzWkkpvihWS-5E9Bflw8HJMzVmkHWusOZQDy2U_pHoI7iKKUfW0FJnH8DU= (note this is when outputting multiple tracked links as per: https://blog.teknkl.com/multiple-marketo-tracked-links-in-velocity/) Links still work when sending a test or live email AFAIK all of our scripting tokens still work in live emails but just wondered if something has changed that we need to be aware of. Thanks Jon

Jon_Wright · ‎08-24-2022

Would need more detail but sounds like potentially is related to the issue for outputting tracked links from a list. I recommend Sanford's excellent blog for all things Marketo + Velocity: https://blog.teknkl.com/multiple-marketo-tracked-links-in-velocity/

Jon_Wright · ‎05-04-2022

Hi @Ed_Ortega1 it seems you can do this via the API but not the UI. So I've just been doing via a Python script when required, let me know if want any more info

Jon_Wright · ‎01-25-2022

From your screenshots it looks like you're setting up an a/b test on an email program. But all you need to do is add a 'Champion/Challenger' test to your confirmation email: See docs here: https://experienceleague.adobe.com/docs/marketo/using/product-docs/email-marketing/general/functions-in-the-editor/email-tests-champion-challenger/add-an-email-champion-challenger.html?lang=en Your trigger campaign would just stay as it is.

Jon_Wright · ‎01-14-2022

You can run a smart campaign using the 'Member of Engagement Program' filter and 'Change Engagement Program Cadence' flow step (= Paused)

Jon_Wright · ‎01-11-2022

Make sure your colleague has refreshed the report itself (bottom left of report tab pane) - browser refresh alone won't give you latest numbers.

Jon_Wright · ‎01-10-2022

600px tends to be standard. Although we have a global variable in our email template so can change width if needed.

Jon_Wright · ‎12-22-2021

Good question. Originally what I thought I wanted to do is add additional classes to the Marketo form elements. For example my Bootstrap form gives the following code for the button: <button class="btn btn-action-1 w-100 mb-6 aos-init aos-animate" data-aos="fade-down" data-aos-delay="750"> Sign Up </button> So I was thinking if I could add those classes and attributes to the Marketo button, but doesn't seem there's an easy way to do this. I did see your FormsPlus::Tag code which I thought might help but don't think it allows user-defined classes/attributes to be added. I have the all of the SCSS files so I was going to explore creating a 'Marketo form SCSS file' and recompiling the CSS so it includes the Marketo form classes with relevant Bootstrap styles, not sure how feasible that is. But any pointers welcome.

Jon_Wright · ‎12-21-2021

Hi I'm using Sanford's code to destyle a Marketo form: https://codepen.io/figureone/pen/MbPOdj?editors=0110 But I'm looking for an easy way to then apply the css styling I have from a Bootstrap form to the destyled form, does anybody any pointers on best ways/tools to do this? Thanks

Jon_Wright · ‎11-24-2021

Thank you @Benjamin_Murra1

Jon_Wright · ‎11-24-2021

no problem, had many of those moments. In terms of writing simpler code we use MJML as our email framework, which I can highly recommend. Just let me know if you want any pointers in moving the MJML/HTML into Marketo templates.

Jon_Wright · ‎11-18-2021

thanks @Phillip_Wild - to confirm you can have nested event programs: But what you seemingly can't do is clone an existing event program to be a child program: This feels like an oversight as it means having to create all of your child program assets again (e.g. reminder emails, thank you emails, reminder email smart campaigns) or clone them in individually. In our case, and I'm sure a lot of cases, these assets need to live in the child programs so they can use the {{member.webinar url}} token. We have 6 child programs which is a lot of cloning and creates a lot of margin for error. Is this something that can be raised?

Jon_Wright · ‎11-18-2021

@Benjamin_Murra1 - I don't suppose you have any info on this? I'd like to use a cloned program as a child program but seemingly can't do this via UI or API - This really negates any benefit of this feature as means you have to create all of your child program assets from scratch/or clone them in 1 by 1. I can confirm this is pretty painful having just started doing it.

Jon_Wright · ‎11-16-2021

Hi Although you can have an Event Programs with child event programs, I'm looking to clone some existing event programs to be child programs, but it doesn't seem to be possible - you can only clone to an Engagement Program or a Campaign folder (not another event Program) Can anybody confirm if there is a way to do this that I'm missing? Thanks

Jon_Wright · ‎11-16-2021

Hi - your problem seems to be the <center> on line 874 and </center> on line 963 remove those and it will approve

Jon_Wright · ‎10-15-2021

Hi Sophie - you may want to look into the use of a 3rd Party tool for this, we use RingLead but sure there are many others out there. This will give you much more control over how you convert your leads.

Jon_Wright · ‎10-15-2021

Hi I've seen a few discussions on this but couldn't find an answer. For our last email send we saw a large number of 'Malformed links' in the email link performance report We're using Velocity to output the links based on @SanfordWhiteman code to get around the tracking bug This has always worked well, the only difference this time is we are also using (another Sanford trick) to get around tracking bulletproof buttons in Outlook This is code for renaming link variables #foreach( $session in $all_listings ) #set( $downloadLink = $session.sessionURL ) #evaluate( "${esc.h}set( ${esc.d}downloadLink_${foreach.index} = ${esc.d}downloadLink )" ) #end Then output like so (first the VML for Outlook, then the HTML for everything else) <tr> <td align="center">  #if( $foreach.index.equals(0) ) <a href="https://${downloadLink_0}" style="background-color:#e0121d;border:1px solid #e0121d;border-radius:50px;color:#ffffff;display:inline-block;font-family:arial;font-size:14px;font-weight:500;line-height:44px;text-align:center;text-decoration:none;width:230px;-webkit-text-size-adjust:none;mso-hide:all;"> #elseif( $foreach.index.equals(1) ) <a href="https://${downloadLink_1}" style="background-color:#e0121d;border:1px solid #e0121d;border-radius:50px;color:#ffffff;display:inline-block;font-family:arial;font-size:14px;font-weight:500;line-height:44px;text-align:center;text-decoration:none;width:230px;-webkit-text-size-adjust:none;mso-hide:all;"> #elseif( $foreach.index.equals(2) ) <a href="https://${downloadLink_2}" style="background-color:#e0121d;border:1px solid #e0121d;border-radius:50px;color:#ffffff;display:inline-block;font-family:arial;font-size:14px;font-weight:500;line-height:44px;text-align:center;text-decoration:none;width:230px;-webkit-text-size-adjust:none;mso-hide:all;"> #elseif( $foreach.index.equals(3) ) <a href="https://${downloadLink_3}" style="background-color:#e0121d;border:1px solid #e0121d;border-radius:50px;color:#ffffff;display:inline-block;font-family:arial;font-size:14px;font-weight:500;line-height:44px;text-align:center;text-decoration:none;width:230px;-webkit-text-size-adjust:none;mso-hide:all;"> #elseif( $foreach.index.equals(4) ) <a href="https://${downloadLink_4}" style="background-color:#e0121d;border:1px solid #e0121d;border-radius:50px;color:#ffffff;display:inline-block;font-family:arial;font-size:14px;font-weight:500;line-height:44px;text-align:center;text-decoration:none;width:230px;-webkit-text-size-adjust:none;mso-hide:all;"> #elseif( $foreach.index.equals(5) ) <a href="https://${downloadLink_5}" style="background-color:#e0121d;border:1px solid #e0121d;border-radius:50px;color:#ffffff;display:inline-block;font-family:arial;font-size:14px;font-weight:500;line-height:44px;text-align:center;text-decoration:none;width:230px;-webkit-text-size-adjust:none;mso-hide:all;"> #end REGISTER</a> </td> </tr> Links all appear to work as expected when I send a live version to various email clients (Outlook 2016 included) so not sure how to troubleshoot further? Support have given the usual ' browser mangling the unique identifier' response, but given the volume (over 200 in report compared to usually maybe 1 or 2) think there must be something else happening here. Thanks Jon

Jon_Wright · ‎07-23-2021

thank you!

Jon_Wright · ‎07-22-2021

Hi, can anybody ( @SanfordWhiteman ) help me with escaping double quotes in a Velocity. I have a value that contains some HTML that I'd like to output e.g. I want to output the body_copy value so it contains hyperlinked text (aware I'll probably need to add mktNoTrack to this so it works) Have tried single backslash, double backslash but neither seem to work. #set( $sessions = { "Tech":{ "session_name":"Test", "session_url":"dtw.tmforum.org/agenda/the-public-cloud-in-telecoms-an-unstoppable-force/", "banner_url":"https://info.tmforum.org/rs/021-WLD-815/images/HEADER_digital_twins1.png", "subject_line":"Meet the digital twins", "body_copy":"What is the next stage of your digital evolution? <p> This session as part of the <a href="https://dtw.tmforum.org/agenda/the-public-cloud-in-telecoms-an-unstoppable-force/" style="color:#0D2548;font-weight:600">The public cloud in telecoms: an unstoppable force?</a> episode will dive into how integration of multiple deployments will drive the next wave of IoT. And this is way more than theory – you will hear from both Telstra and Microsoft and how they partnered to overcome challenges around security, privacy, interoperability and developer productivity. </p>", "session_speakers":[ { "speaker_name":"", "speaker_title":"", "speaker_image":"", "speaker_logo":"" }, { "speaker_name":"", "speaker_title":"", "speaker_image":"", "speaker_logo":"" } ] } } ) Thanks

Jon_Wright · ‎06-25-2021

Firstly, make sure you have checked off your lead.storeNumber field from the tree on the right-hand side. But as Sanford says, and he's always right on these things, easier to use a list and see if it contains the value e.g. #set($store = $lead.storeNumber ) #set($storeList = [ "100","102","103","104","106","107","108","110","112","114","115","116","117","120","121","12","123","124","125","128","129","132","133","134","135","136","139","140","141","142","147","48","150","151","152","153","154","156","158","159","160","161","162","163","164","165","166","301","305","307","308","310","311","312","313","316","317","319","320","321","322","325","329","330","8000","8006","8007","8015","8016","8023","8026","8029","8036","8045","8055"] ) #if($storeList.contains($store)) here's version one! #else here's the default! #end Note this is not converting the storeNumber to a Number, but if you need to do that you can use #set($store = $convert.toInteger($lead.storeNumber) ) and then your list of stores wouldn't contain the quotes. But $convert.toInteger will throw an error if the field doesn't contain a 'number' FYI - Sanford's blog is a great resource for Velocity tips: https://blog.teknkl.com/tag/velocity/

Jon_Wright · ‎06-24-2021

Going to try and beat @SanfordWhiteman to this one, but this should do it rather than the for loop. $display.list($productsValues, ", ", " and ") Sure Sanford has feedback on how do do all of this more succinctly though.
