Use SFDC custom object values in the email as token

Are there any way I can use values in SFDC custom object / Opportunity in the email as token?

I have one of the custom object sync to the Marketo and I can use it for smartlist but I can't find the tokens for them when I create emails.

I'm wondering if there is a way when the email activity is triggered by changes in this custom object.

Please let me know!

Thank you.

Hi Yuko,

You will have to use velocity scripts to do this. See http://developers.marketo.com/email-scripting/

Additional question here.

When I try to create email script token, I can see the custom object I want to use in the list and I can check mark on the field.

However, when I try to drag and drop the field, it doesn't let me.

Are there something I need to enable? or does this mean I can't use it for the email script?

Hmm, should definitely work if checkable. Maybe try another browser?

You use Velocity ("Email Script") tokens to access and output Custom Objects. They aren't presented as standalone tokens.

Please move the thread to Products​ to continue as this place is for general mktg topics, not Marketo product support.
