One email going out to a list upload with different account owners

Hi everyone,

 

I got assigned to deploy a one time email. They are going to be providing a list to upload for this. However, each lead in this list is going to have different account owners. I am hoping there is a way to add a token for variable data to populate each leads specific account owners information when the email deploys? email sample below: 

" If you have any questions regarding the discontinuation of xxx, please do not hesitate to contact [account owner] at [direct dial] or [email]."

 

Thank you in advance for your help!

No. You cannot set CRM Account Owner information via a list import (contra @raven_mcfarlan1).

 

Your columns indicate that they are Lead Owner data, not Account data, but the same applies.

 

You can use fake flat fields on the lead that aren’t actually owner fields, but that’s not the same.

If the fields are mapped on the Account object and visible to Marketo, you’ll have corresponding {{company.tokens}}.

 

However, you will not be able to write the fields via the list import. Marketo is not the place to update such information, it should be done in your CRM.

I just got emailed the list and columns labeled as: Lead Owner, Owner email, Owner Phone. 

Once the email is finalized and I uploaded the list it should give me an option to map them correct?

Hi Erica, yes it will but I'd recommend keeping a very close eye on which fields it auto-suggests to ensure accuracy. Admins can set up list import alias for headers (read more here: https://experienceleague.adobe.com/docs/marketo/using/product-docs/administration/field-management/edit-field-aliases-for-list-import.html?lang=en)  and that may affect which field Marketo auto suggests.

 

Depending on the fields in use, you might also need to parse lead owner full name into first/last name as an unrelated FYI.
