Marketo

Hi,I have an use case to solve, could you suggest the possible solutionI have a default program(ABC) in Marketo which is created manuallyMultiple static lists will be created dynamically with in default program ABCfor example static list "1 - first list" will be created via an API call and email addresses will be imported . Want to mark all static list email addresses as program members  as soon as email list is imported. "2 - Second list" can be created next time and so forthNo manual intervention should be there to update static list name in case of  trigger campaign or batch campaign is definedWe can mark emails as program members via API but looking for something if we can achieve this by means of a smart campaign.Please suggest. Thanks,Babu 

EDIT: Maybe a better question is - is there a dead-end conversion from Velocity to Handlebars? Or is Velocity staying indefinitely? Hello all,Have maybe a specific question but hoping some experts can shed some light - I know at one point there was talk about Marketo moving from Velocity to Handlebars and I was curious if anyone could help me decipher that in terms of personalization with Custom Objects?We do a fair amount of Velocity scripting due to the nature of Custom Objects and multiple records - for example here is a First Name personalization:##Standard Velocity Date/Time Fields #set( $defaultTimeZone = $date.getTimeZone().getTimeZone("America/Chicago") ) #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( $ISO8601DateTimeWithSpace = "yyyy-MM-dd HH:mm:ss" ) #

Hi all! Would love to hear your thoughts on what an ideal email send cadence would be for an operational email going to all our clients, including non-marketable persons that we rarely reach out to? Details below:There are about 68,000 recipients of an upcoming operational email, that otherwise rarely receive any Marketo outreach from usWhat would be a low-risk way to make sure the operational email reaches these folks without risking a lowered sender reputation? Should we aim to send it to 5,000 people per day? Should we go even smaller, such as 1,000 people per day? If I end up using the number 1,000, is it risky to do 2 batches per day instead of just 1? Thank you very much

Hello everyone,   I noticed something odd while checking opportunity details in Advanced BI Analytics. The opportunity count shows the same number for every month and even for different programs. It also shows counts for months in 2026, which seems off. The count looks more like the all-time total opportunities rather than month-wise numbers, as you can see in the attached image.   Has anyone else faced this? Any idea why the numbers are not changing across months and programs? Would really appreciate any guidance or solutions.   Thanks in advance!

Violating the old Never Rewrite From Scratch rule (which, let’s be honest, is sporadically enforced) Microsoft created New Outlook in 2023. So far, it’s been a rocky rollout, with scant rewards for end users and mixed results for MOps.   On the bright side, email designers like the new rendering engine. You still need fallbacks for Classic Outlook, but more and more Microsoft shops will see your special effects. On the other side, the death of OFTs is pretty bad, but at least that’s a clean break.   More insidious are features ported over from Classic but subtly “fixed” in a non-backward-compatible way. Case in point: Microsoft decided to rewrite their iCalendar (ICS) parser. The new parser hews so tightly to the standard, RFC 5545, that previously supported ICS files now don’t show the Location field:   The specific area Microsoft fixed was the order of VEVENT properties and VALARM reminders. The standard is unequivocal here. A valid VEVENT must have its eventprop en

On September 16, 2025, Adobe transitioned to a more modern hosting infrastructure for REST API URLs that leverages newer technology, adding security and scalability.   If your subscription has been using APIs with a double forward slash (//) in the URL, you should have received the following alert in Marketo Engage, with a Learn More link:   It is possible not everyone received or noticed the alert, as we recently discovered some existing API URLs have been generating 500 server errors, due to the API call itself. If you were affected by this, to resolve the error, you must modify the URL of the API call to change the double slash (//) to a single slash (/) where applicable.   Which API endpoints are impacted and should be modified?Any Marketo REST APIs that include a double slash (//) in the URL. What happens if we didn't make any changes prior to the deprecation date?Those specific APIs will fail; data synchs, Lead updates, or Campaign Triggers (depending on thos

Marketo’s new email editor is here—and it’s packed with features designed to make email creation smarter, faster, and more flexible than ever. In this article, we will explore what’s new to the designer and what’s coming soon. Here’s what you need to know.   ✨ AI Assistant: Smarter Email Creation The headline feature is the AI Assistant, powered by Adobe’s proprietary GenAI. This tool helps users generate everything from subject lines to images and full email content. You can tailor prompts for specific buying groups, marketing journey stages, communication strategies, and tones. Want a subject line with FOMO and an emoji? Just ask. Need content for decision-makers in an informative tone? The AI Assistant delivers. Key points: AI Assistant is currently English-only, but support for other languages is planned. You can use prebuilt prompts or customize your own. Text settings allow for deep personalization by audience, journey stage, and tone. Image generation is availa

We have opportunities created via SOAP `syncMObjects` API that are not accessible through the REST API. We need to understand the relationship between SOAP M Objects and REST objects, and how to properly migrate or access this data.I see similar question without the answer https://nation.marketo.com/t5/product-discussions/issue-s-with-switching-from-soap-api-to-rest-api-for/m-p/201612#M146895.  **SOAP Opportunity Creation (Working):** { "opportunity": { "type": "Opportunity", "id": 18577, "externalKey": { "attrName": "opportunities.id", "attrValue": "8bb9da36-ab39-11f0-80e8-cefbdec3b66f" }, "attribList": { "attrib": [ {"name": "Name", "value": "NAme"}, {"name": "Amount", "value": "99"}, {"name": "Stage", "value": "In Progress"} ] } }, "action": "UPSERT" } - `getMObjects` with ID 18577 successfully returns opportunity data but all&n

What happens when you use duration in a wait step without specifying the time?For example: Wait 4 hours, wait must end Mon-Friday. Send email.If someone enters the wait step on Saturday at 9 a.m., when will they receive the email? Right at 12:00 am Monday? Or would it be Monday 4 hours after they entered the wait, at 1 p.m. Monday?

If you’ve ever tried to include an “Add to Calendar” link in a Marketo Engage email and ended up with a broken calendar file, you’re not alone. One of the most common culprits? The {{member.webinar url}} token inside the Calendar File token type. It’s a subtle issue, but it can derail your webinar experience if not handled correctly.     Let’s break it down. The Calendar File token is a handy way to let registrants add your webinar to their calendar. It can include other tokens, like the webinar join link, so recipients have everything they need in one click. But here’s the catch: that join link token only resolves when the email is sent via a triggered smart campaign. If you send it manually or through a batch campaign, the token doesn’t populate. The result? A calendar file with a blank join link. Not ideal.     So how do we fix it? The answer lies in a simple program design tweak: create a smart campaign with a “Campaign is Requested” trigger. This campaign bec

A user had buggy 3rd-party JS causing forms to be submitted 2x. Unable to find the root cause in their stack of plugins, they tried a desperate fix: add an onSubmit() listener and stop submission if the listener runs a second time.   Like so: MktoForms2.whenReady(function(readyForm){ let stopFutureSubmissions = false; readyForm.onSubmit(function(submittingForm){ if(stopFutureSubmissions) { return false; } stopFutureSubmissions = true; }); });   Fine idea in theory, but that’s not how you stop form submission. The Marketo onSubmit() listener stack doesn’t care if you return false from every single listener! That is, it’s not like DOM event handlers where return false is interpreted as canceling the event.[1]   To stop submission, assuming you have complete control over the listener stack, simply set form.submittable(false): MktoForms2.whenReady(function(readyForm){ readyForm.onSubmit(f

We have a dynamic email that we send to our prospects that is built based on the country and will keep the corresponding links for each country and region. I am seeing a person click a link in this email that wouldn't be served to them based on the region/dynamic rules. Could this be something of a bot clicking links that aren't truly visible to the person? I have checked the email a bunch, and I am not seeing any link reference to this link on the email that they were dynamically sent.

We’ve observed that the Bulk Export API returns an HTTP status of `200 OK` even when the response body contains an error. For example, we received the following response:when using a bulk api i.ebulk/v1/leads/export/{ExportID}/file.json { "requestId": "4aac#17c", "success": false, "errors": [ { "code": "603", "message": "Access denied" } ] } Despite the `"success": false` flag and error code `603`, the HTTP status was still `200 OK`. This behavior is misleading and complicates error handling, as it suggests the request was successful when it clearly wasn’t. We’d like to understand:- Is this the expected behavior for the API?- Are there plans to align HTTP status codes with the actual success/failure of the request?- What is the recommended best practice for detecting and handling such errors?Thanks

Are we able to use same IP address in more than one Marketo instance? 

We have a need to have a single smart campaign, but we need to email to be different each time the campaign is executed. I noticed that the "Send Email" step in Flow step in Smart Campaigns seems to accept tokens, like so:   But I can't get it to work. I'm filling out the token (via the API) with the folder name and email name like so: My Folder.My Email   Has anyone been able to get this to work with a "my" token?   Thanks. 

Hi everyone,I'm encountering an issue with the .ics calendar file when using the new Outlook. The file either doesn't open at all, or if it does, the location field is not populating as expected.Is anyone else experiencing this issue? If you've found a workaround or a solution, I’d really appreciate your input.Here’s the link to the .ics file I'm using .Thanks in advance!

Hello all, I understand there are no API endpoints available to get the total people to count for Smart-lists. I was wondering if anyone has found a workaround for this. I am more looking for a programmatic approach. Would it be possible to create a batch campaign to add the Smart-list members to a list (list name would be predefined) and then query the list by name to get the total member count? any other approaches?  Thank you In advanced.  

Hi, I'm fairly new to scripting - I'm trying to include a my token inside of my script. However, the data isn't populating. Apologies if this has already been asked previously.   #set($equipmentName = ${my.equipment}) #set($WFID = ${my.WFID}) #set($urlBodyImage = "www.google.com/$WFID/body_image_$equipmentName") <a href="https://${urlBodyImage}"><img alt="Image" style="background-color: #ffffff; display: block; float: none; margin: 0px auto; -ms-interpolation-mode: bicubic; padding: 0px;"https://www.dummyimage.com/255x100" width="255" /></a> #end The output I'm seeing is - https://google.com/$WFID/body_image_$equipmentNameHow I want it to output - https://google.com/45689/body_image_iphone   Thanks! 

Hi all, I've been running into issues with emails built in the new editor with my proof not appearing how it actually looks once I share it out for approval. At my company we send email proofs for approval via email, which means I send a proof to myself, download it, then attach it as an .eml file to a new email and CC'ing everyone that needs to approve. Once I've downloaded the email and sent it out as an attachment for approval, I've discovered that it often breaks my margins, adds spacing, and/or misaligns things than what it actually looks like in the proof/sample that I originally received straight from Marketo. Below I've attached images of the actual sample sent from Marketo compared to the .eml file once it was downloaded and previewed for approval.  Is anyone else running into similar issues or have a possible solution? Or is this just a problem with the new email designer being a work in progress?

One of my clients has used Zoom webinars integrated with Marketo for at least 2 years - running at least monthly webinars as of recently. All the sudden from Marketo, when we try to connect the webinar program to the event on the Zoom webinars platform - it doesn't see any webinars scheduled. There are no errors in the Zoom LaunchPoint app. When we try re-verifying the LaunchPoint app we get taken in circles because it leads to the the "old" Marketo login page and clicking and using  login with Adobe doesn't help. We  have a ticket logged with Zoom support which isn't getting us anywhere.  Given that we were just forced to make the switch to the new login/user management process this month and tried to set up the first 2024 webinar program after that, I find the timing suspicious - even though it's not supposed to affect API-only users. Is anyone else having this issue? Alternatively, is there anyone who has continued to use Zoom webinars integrated with Marketo suc
