We're beginning to mess around with Web Personalization, and I couldn't quite find the answer I was looking for.    Say I want to put a widget or a dialog box on my blog that pops up and asks if you would like to subscribe to our emails. Because people are coming into individual posts from search, I want this to show up on any blog page. So I'm going to set the campaign to *blog* so it shows up on any of our pages with "blog" in the URL. And my segment, just to keep it simple, is going to be anonymous visitors. So far so good.   So let's say our anonymous visitor comes to one of our blog posts from Google, and the dialog box (or widget) pops up with the CTA. They decide they are not interested and close/collapse the box. Then, in the same session, they click a link to another one of our blog posts. Since this second page also meets the criteria, does the box/widget pop up a second time? If so, is there a way to make this not happen, so we don't end up harassing visitors who have already told us they're not interested?      ... View more

Only other thread I found on this topic was from 2015, so I thought it might be worth a repost:     Is there a feature - or clever workaround - that lets you target by radius from a ZIP code? The email system we're migrating from had this as a feature. If I wanted to target the Chicago metropolitan area, I could set a filter for within 50 miles of 60613. That would pull in Chicago and all the suburbs (including Northwest Indiana), but not downstate. Is there a way to do something like this in Marketo that doesn't involve manually adding either every ZIP code or every city in the area I want to target?  ... View more

Question that may end up being a feature request:    I want to be able to change the default From name and email address to the company name so we don't accidentally send out emails under our own names. As an admin, I was able to do this for myself - but that only affects emails that I set up.    Is there a way for a non-admin Marketing User or Standard User to set the default From name and address to something else, or a way for an admin to do it for them?   ...

I have a form set up with a hidden field to capture the utm_campaign on the referral link and write it to the Person Source. If its not present, it defaults to Gated Content. Here's how I have it set up:    I'm trying to test it with some ads we're running. The ads point to this URL: https://www.plasticsurgery.org/cosmetic-procedures/liposuction?utm_source=Dynadmic&utm_medium=Video-Advertising&utm_campaign=Dynadmic-Liposuction-Q4-2021 On that page, there's a CTA that leads to a Marketo landing page at https://pages.plasticsurgery.org/LiposuctionHandbook.html  I've been trying to test it by pasting the link above into an Incognito browser, clicking on the CTA, then creating a fake account. But when I check the program member record of the fake account, it shows the Person Source set to the default, Gated Content.  I had this set up and let it run for a few days, and I did catch the UTM parameter of a completely different campaign in the list (this is the only thing currently running that sets Person Source.) So the field is capturing something, just not when I do it.    Do I need to set this up differently, or is this just something that isn't going to be captured (or maybe it is - but no one from the ads is filling out the forms)?  ...

Hi everyone! New Marketo user here - like our instance is still being set up new.    Quick question about images in emails. Several of the image blocks in the template created by our implementation vendor have fixed widths.    Playing around with dropping in assets, I've noticed that unless you use the exact right image width, the image comes out the right width but a little blurry. For example, these two logos are in a box set to 69x94. The first is set to those exact dimensions. The second is a larger image - 260 px wide - that was then scaled down by the system. The second image is ever so slightly blurry, which you can notice on things that have nice crisp lines like logos:  I haven't seen this before in other email programs. Scaling up from an image that's too small, sure, but not scaling down into a set size. I've put some cartoonishly huge images into small spaces before and, while load time isn't great, they still looked good.    Is this a Marketo thing, or is something up with the way the template is coded? And if it is a Marketo thing, what are the rules? Do I always have to use the exact pixel dimensions of the image, or is there a little wiggle room? I haven't tried it yet, but in the example above of an image set to 69px, could I upload an image that was 60px or 80px and it would still be ok?       ... View more
