Issue DescriptionWhen I navigate to Admin>munchkin, I see option to select workspace. Why is that?Issue Resolution People 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 a sin

Issue DescriptionYou come across a few leads who failed to sync to SFDC and would like to have the list of leads who faced the same issue. Issue Resolution Unfortunately Marketo doesn't have a specific type of filter to leads who failed to sync to SFDC.

Create a new Boolean type field in SFDC namely "Sync Error?" and with the default value as "true".2. Wait for the filed to sync into Marketo.3. Create a smart campaign to select those group of records and the flow steps to change the value of the Boolean field "Sync Error?" to ”False" and then "Sync person to SFDC".4.

Issue DescriptionThere is a discrepancy for certain emails between Email Insights and Email Performance Report. The data (e.g. sent, delivered, opened and clicked) are significantly lower in Email Insights for the emails as compared to the Email Performance Report for the same emails.Issue Resolution There is most likely a discrepancy because at the time Email Insights was first enabled "you’ll have four weeks of historical Email data in addition to all new email activity".

This request relates to the notes below from the article:"We’ll give you a four-week period before you can request Marketo Support to upload your data"Supplement: Email Insights Launch Process - Marketo Docs - Product Documentation The solution is to request that Marketo Support backfill the report data so you have data for Email Insights beyond the four weeks.Who This Solution Appli

Issue Description Email Link Performance report on the same email shows more clicks compared to clicks in the Email Performance Report.Issue Resolution Email Performance Report clicks shows the total number of leads who has clicked any link in that email. This count is independent of any links and how many times a lead has clicked any link on that email. Email Link Performance shows the number of unique people who clicked each link. It shows the number of leads who clicked that particular link. The same lead could’ve clicked another link.

Issue Description You want to measure who clicks a specific link that uses a query string from a landing page, but when you try to use this logic in a smart campaign or smart list, it tells you the URL can’t be found, even though you can see the URL embedded on the landing page.
