Well, you can write you...

  • Re: Creating Nested SPF Entries

  • Creating Nested SPF Entries

    If you're setting up Marketo you're no doubt familiar with how to set up SPF and DKIM to ensure higher deliverability rates, but did you know that there is a limit of 255 characters in an DNS entry, and you'd have to span DNS entries to have an SPF entry longer than 255?so, if you have a TON of doma...

  • Re: Custom Objects 2.0 in Marketo - Part 1

    Unfortunately you cant reference tokens like that... mostly because remember the custom objects are one to many with leads.. so there's no way to know which one you were referring to. What are you trying to accomplish.. I'm not 100% clear on that.

  • Using a Foreign System Person ID with SOAP

    I freely admit this is an esoteric topic, but trust me when I tell you when you need to use it, it's best not to mess it up. The use case is as follows.. suppose you have customers that might exist in some home grown external system with a unique PID (Person ID) that is not the marketo ID, and your ...
