Marketo

SummaryMarketo-only records must be manually synced, become a member of a default-program, encounter a Salesforce flow step in order to sync with Salesforce. IssueRecords are in the Marketo database but are not syncing over to Salesforce automatically like I thought they would. SolutionThe sync between Marketo and Salesforce is bi-directional. However, in order for a record to be synced, one of the following conditions must be met: The record becomes a member of a program which is synced to a Salesforce campaign. This occurs when the background sync is used to keep members of a Salesforce campaign in sync with a Marketo Program status. This can easily be verified by navigating to the program and looking at the summary view. More information on this feature can be found here: https://docs.marketo.com/display/public/DOCS/Sync+an+SFDC+Campaign+with+a+Programhttps://docs.marketo.com/display/public/DOCS/SFDC+Sync%3A+Campaign+Sync The record encounters an SFDC flow step. Any time a recor

IssueYou have been receiving form submissions that appear to have bogus/nonsensical data in the fields, such as "kjsag@sm4.to" for email address, or "111-111-1111" for phone number, or in a Comment field other random nonsensical text.     SolutionCurrently, there are no default settings in Marketo that prohibit a form submission if the required fields are filled out. A great workaround for addressing these bogus form submissions in Marketo is to implement a 'honeypot' field on the form. To do this, you will need to create a custom Marketo field, string type, and name it something distinctive (such as "spam" or "honeypot"). After creating this field in Marketo Admin > Field Management, place this new field on the form as a hidden field. Real live end-users do not see hidden fields, but spam bots will see them and fill out all available fields. So now when we see form fills with this honeypot field "not empty," we know that it was a bot fillout.   Setting up the Ho

When building a BULK API extraction job, I run into conflicting responses to the status of the job. When I first built the job, the enqueued it I followed up with a simple check status and got this response. {"requestId":"c0f3#173de0fc479","result":[{"exportId":"f49eb72e-6554-42a6-aba9-260c27890309","format":"CSV","status":"Created","createdAt":"2020-08-11T14:38:27Z"}],"success":true}   Parsed out to the relevant part: "status": "Created"I was confused, thinking I had already Enqueued this job, so I tried to enqueue it again and I got this (Failed) result.    {"requestId":"17a7c#173de129713","success":false,"errors":[{"code":"1029","message":"Export 'f49eb72e-6554-42a6-aba9-260c27890309' is in Processing status"}]} Again the Cut down portion to:   is in Processing status"}]}   Okay, Strange, I polled the job status again just to see and I got the same response as the first.

We want to send 7 / 30 day renewal reminder emails through Marketo and have built and successfully tested the emails using Velocity but I’m having trouble building the smart lists. (We thought this would be the easy part).   Our customers may have multiple products that expire on different days, as I see it from different discussions, there are 2 accepted methods of building a list for a renewal email. Using the 7 day example, they are as follows:   Method 1: (In future 7 days) and (in future after 6 days)   Method 2: In future 7 days but not in future 6 day list.   Method  1 fails when a customer has 2 (or more) products, one expires in 5 days and one expires in 9 days the customer makes the list even though they don’t have a product expiring on the 7th day.   Method 2 fails when a customer has a product expiring on the 7th day but also has another product expiring in the next 6 days. This customer doesn’t make the list because they are a member of the

I've been monitoring our email bounces, and for one of our most recent email sends, we had a large number of bounces with the bounce reason:  554 5.4.7 [internal] (last transfail: 451 4.7.1 Received too many messages from a new or untrusted IP   We are on a dedicated IP and have been for over a year and a half, so our IP isn't new, and I haven't seen this code before on our other reports. Has anyone else seen this creep up on their end?   There were a few companies that appeared more than others, so my thought is that maybe they changed some of their internal settings, but I can't seem to understand why we saw a 300% increase in bounces.    Any insights are greatly appreciated.

Hello, we have embedded a Marketo form in a Contentful page. To save some space we have our form labels on the left but as a result the GDPR consent box is not showing up properly (see screenshot). Our web developer says that if it's possible to add a classname to the form he should be able to fix the issue. I've tried to find an answer on the community but I couldn't find any.  Can one of you help me here?   Thanks   Cécile  

I'm setting a program where a customer, upon filling out a form (that has selections to 6 contents - checkboxes), the customer will receive one email containing the contents selected. For example, the customer selected 3 out of 6 available contents on the form checkboxes > triggers a 'confirmation email' > the customer will receive one confirmation email that contains 3 different content URLs based on the form selection. Is this possible and if it is, how do I go about doing this? I've tried searching for solutions here and Google, found nothing so far. Hope this makes sense.

I have a smart campaign where it's set to send someone an email after they fill out a form, however the email won't deliver unless it's a business email. I looked and there are no form restrictions or anything saying that the email cannot send unless it's a business email. Any ideas as to why?

Hello, I recently took a new position with a fairly large company running their global Marketo instance. I was recently advised that (non-Marketo) web page load times in certain countries (China, Russia, India) was being impacted by Marketo.  Looking at the snippet being used, I was surprised to find the following. Of particular concern was the fact that the instance account ID was not referenced directly. This code is apparently deployed globally. I am at a loss to trouble shoot this myself.  Can anyone offer advice or resources for deciphering this? Again, it appears to be working, even in the impacted countries, it is just causing long load times...  Thanks!

Hi all, Do you have any cool ideas for advanced alert campaigns (alerts for sales)? Something beyond "person visited pricing page" but more along the lines of targeted account visited 5 pages in 1 hour, a person in an advanced funnel stage (not won) visited X blog post pages.  I'm sure this is basically endless but I am interested in hearing some great ideas that you tried before and found to be helpful.   Thanks!

I have created a number of different views to use when looking at different leads.  For example a lead scoring view, an events view, etc, all of which have the relevant columns of required information we would like to see and potentially export.Ideally I want to share these with other users within our organisation to ensure that everyone is looking at the same thing.  Other than manually creating these views for each user, is there another way to share them?Thanks very much.

I am trying to set up a flow that will allow us to continuously add members to a list, but only have the new members receive the email I am sending. What I am trying to figure how to say is if John Doe received "X" email do send it to him again. I figured out how to set up a flow that would REMOVE the lead from the list after the email has been sent to them, but ideally the flow would just not send the email to anyone who has received it already.Thanks for the help in advance!John

Hi, i want to know if i can put a marketo form in wordpress buying the Business plan for wordpress, or i just have to install a plugin for the embeded code?

IssueWhen you navigate to Admin>Munchkin, you see option to select Workspace. Why is that?  SolutionPeople generally use workspsce either because of their companies geographical location or Business Unit. In each case, the separation is because the marketing assets are completely different.  With that said, If you're using Workspaces in your Marketo account, you probably also have separate web presences that correspond to your workspaces. In that case, you can use the Munchkin tracking Javascript to assign your anonymous people to the correct workspace and partition. This is used to differentiate appropriate leads within workspace with the help of appropriate tracking.  If you don't use the special workspace Munchkin code, the people will be assigned to the default partition that was created when your account was set up. It's named "Default" initially, but you might have changed that in your own Marketo account. You can only use one Munchkin tracking script for

Included in this article   OverviewSync Filters for Existing SFDC IntegrationsSync Filters for New SFDC Integrations Overview It is often necessary to prevent specific leads from syncing between Marketo and SFDC. There are a few different ways this can be done, such as sharing rules on the SFDC side, but the most effective way is through a Marketo Custom Sync Filter.   A Custom Sync Filter uses a custom field to mark each lead record to indicate whether that lead is allowed to sync between Marketo and SFDC. Here’s how to get it set up!     Sync Filters for Existing SFDC Integrations   If you already have an SFDC integration in place but want to stop some already-synced leads from continuing to sync, this section will show you how to make that change.   1. Create a new custom field in Salesforce. The Marketo bi-directional sync will automatically identify the new custom field and map it between Marketo and Salesforce. The best field type to

We're exploring switching event registration providers and have been really happy with the Cvent<>Marketo custom object integration but are evaluating Bizzabo. They have expressed that they can "build the same" but I'd love to hear from some other Marketo users about their experiences. Has anyone made this switch or used Bizzabo to integrate with Marketo in general? What are your thoughts?

Hi, what could be the reason why those records who filled out the form are not being added to the list nor recognized in the reports? However if you will check the record, you can see action in the activity log?

Working with cross-channel marketing, where you have a lot of different entry points to your landing pages, it’s a good idea to keep track of which sources, campaigns, content variants and more are generating traffic and which are converting on your content.One thing I noticed is that it can get quite messy to keep track of touch points, traffic sources and much more in a manner that doesn’t for example require exploring an activity log for an interesting lead, going through interesting moments for an individual, or sifting through the Opportunity Influence Analyzer (great report but requires manual follow-up).Grabbing UTM Parameters in hidden form fieldsThis one is a pretty well-known tactic that allows you to autofill a chosen field with a value from any parameter in the query string of your URL, it will be key to set up for the following parts and more information can be found here: Set a Hidden Form Field Value - Marketo Docs - Product DocsPreparing Marketo for tracking five differ

Hey Guys - on one of our LP's we are randomly getting a security check message appear when people share the page. Our host domain is secure and we've been through all of the images, links and OG Tags and everything is in order. The problem doesn't seem to be occurring with every share, it is random and only occurring with certain users. Quite likely another annoying FB oddity but just thought I'd ask if this issue pop up for anyone else?

Back in 2015 - when Marketo changed the way it treats anonymous leads (essentially removing access to them until they become known), there was a lot of discussion on how Marketo would be able to REPLAY key flow steps that would have occurred if the lead had been known at the time of the triggered smart campaign: Anonymous Lead Upgrades – Under The Hood.  Those flow steps include:Change scoreInteresting momentChange data valueAdd to listRemove from listBut those "replays" will only occur once you've been migrated to Munchkin v2.  Until then, one of the workarounds is to include a "Lead/Person is Created" trigger and the appropriate filter (to match the original trigger).  Here's an example where I added both the trigger and filter (originally, just the single "clicks link on web page" trigger was used):For large environments that have hundreds of smart campaigns, adding in a "Person is Created" trigger can really cause performance issues.Back when this was being discussed

Is there any capping on the maximum number of records that could be added in a Custom Object in a single POST API call (/rest/v1/customobjects/{name}.json) for any kind of marketo subscription (Licensed/Sandbox)? Also I have the same question for the retrieval of the custom object records using the same endpoint (rest/v1/customobjects/{name}.json) - GET Method. Thanks 🙂
