When you subscribe to a smart list, it sends you an email with a big DOWNLOAD REPORT button, the name of the smart list linked to same, and the criteria used to create the smart list. What's missing from this email is the one piece of information I actually want, which is how many people are in the...

If you add a space before a link in the link URL field, it turns out Marketo will just leave it there. This can happen accidentally when pasting a link from another source. The resulting code inside the email looks like with a space between the opening quote and https. If you click the image either in the preview or when the email is sent, it actually works just fine. But when preparing the email for send, Marketo doesn't recognize the link as a link, and therefore doesn't create a tracking link. The effect is the same as if you had included the entire link, http and all, inside a token: the link is functional, but you lose all tracking on it. This ends up being a mistake that's easy to make and hard to catch. The simple solution would be to add a function - like you see in many other input boxes - to automatically remove any leading spaces in that field. This would be a nice little failsafe that would prevent a mistake you would likely only catch when higher-ups are demanding a report from you.

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 w...

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 ar...

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 the...
