Adobe Marketo Engage

Busy MOps teams use a URL builder to manage tracking params (and sometimes for add-to-calendar URLs and other areas). They have a UI like this: And generate a copy-and-pasteable URL like this:https://www.example.com/landingpage?baseparam1=value1&utm_campaign=nosferatrix-or-treat-2025&utm_medium=email&utm_source=marketo&utm_content=logo&utm_term=defaultSometimes they’re built using Excel or a Google Sheet (ugh) instead of a separate web app, but the idea is the same.Problem: most such builders have at least one fatal bug. They do not properly support Marketo {{dotted.token}} syntax in query param values. This is bad, since tokens are a huge operational benefit on their own. Let’s say you want to use the built-in {{campaign.Name}} as the utm_campaign value: A naïve URL builder will mistakenly think {{campaign.Name}} is a literal value, as opposed to an interpolated variable, and will URL-encode it, breaking the URL in Marketo:https://www.example.com/landingpage?basepa

We started using Dynamic Chat and are finding some gaps in the reporting that we would love to have. Currently, the default just shows everyone that reached any goal within a dialogue. The issue is that 1 dialogue may have multiple different goals and not all are as  important as others (i.e. we have an MQL goal vs someone who is subscribing to receive content). We want to be able to see in the reports the conversations by goal to show over time how many people hit each different goal.What I’m also noticing is that the global reports are pretty good, but you cannot segment them at all by dialogue on that screen and it’s causing me to go into each dialogue to see it’s performance. I’d love a filter at the top for the different dialogues so you have it in 1 place and can view all the reports. I’d also like to have the ability to compare across different dialogues easier. For instance, we have so many people that engaged across all of our dialogues over time, but I’d like to see that 10 w

As I am trying to access the prep guide and book an exam slot, I only get option for "AD0-E555 - Adobe Marketo Engage Business Practitioner Professional - Japanese”.  Could you please help me with the Adobe Marketo Engage Professionalcertification guide and exam form in English?

I created two versions of the same email: One using the old editor, built from my own custom template with HTML compiled from MJML One using the new WYSIWYG Email Designer The version built in the old editor is roughly half the size of the new one. With the new editor, I’m constantly hitting Gmail’s 100 KB clipping limit and having emails cut off, even when the visible content is minimal.What’s especially confusing is fragment behavior. When I update a fragment to delete content, the email actually gets larger, sometimes by 30 KB or more. From what I can tell, fragment updates are appending duplicate CSS and redundant markup instead of removing it.I’ve seen mentions that the old editor may be sunset in 2026, and I’m about to build a new nurture program. I’m concerned about being forced onto the new editor when it’s already difficult to keep emails under Gmail’s size limit.Am I missing something here, or are others seeing the same behavior with the new editor?

I am attempting to build a new Smart List that targets members of two other existing Smart Lists (e.g., "Is a member of Smart List A AND Smart List B”). Everything in the Marketo documentation I've found suggests this is completely fine to do. However, The Smart Lists I'm attempting to target do not show up as options in the drop down. I have tried restarting Marketo, restarting my browser, etc. and nothing changes. I have built:Smart List ASmart List B And I want Smart List C to consist of members of BOTH Smart List A and Smart List B. Smart List A and Smart List B do not show up as options to select in Smart List C filtering criteria. Do I need to do something to "Activate" these lists in order to get them to show up?

Hi Team,We have a nurture campaign with three emails and have one stream.The first email was sent, out of which few records didn’t receive email due to communication limits. So, we schedule the email 1 to send via a smart campaign next day.Email 2 and 3 are scheduled to send 2 weeks EVERY 2 WEEKS.Now the question is does the stream tries to send email 1 to people who didnt receive email 1 due to communication limits when email 2 goes out ?. Thanks,Deepthi.

(I posted this question yesterday but for some reason, unable to find my post today. Therefore. I’,m reposting. Community administrators - if you have a way to find my old post, please let me know, I’m happy to go ahead and delete this (or merge)). Thanks)Hi everyone,I’m trying to find a scalable way to report on Marketo programs that are associated with an external partner who sponsors specific marketing campaigns.My initial thought is to create a new Program Tag type called Partner under Admin → Tags, and then assign that tag to each relevant program. In our case, each program will only ever have one sponsoring partner, so the single-value limitation isn’t an issue.Before I go too far down that path, I wanted to sanity check with the community: Is Program Tags the best/standard way to handle partner-level reporting? Are there any downstream impacts or limitations I should be aware of (especially for reporting or scalability)? Has anyone used a better approach for tracking partner

Two upcoming deprecations may impact your integration with Marketo Engage and may require action. Previously, both the SOAP API, and the REST API Access Token in Query Parameter were to be deprecated on 31 October 2025.  They will now be deprecated on 31 January 2026.   The Marketo Engage SOAP API will be fully deprecated on 31 January 2026.  Please review if you are still using the SOAP API in one or more of your Marketo subscriptions. To avoid disruptions of service, you will need to retire or migrate any services using the SOAP API to the Marketo Engage REST API by 31 January 2026.  Consult the Migration Guide for further information.  Marketo Engage Support is only able to provide the IP address of requests made to the SOAP API.   On 31 January 2026, the Marketo Engage REST API will no longer accept access tokens for authentication and authorization via the ‘access_token’ query param

I’m aware that the Marketo SOAP API is due to be deprecated on January 31st, but I’ve noticed in this release notes article that it says March 31st. That date hasn’t been updated anywhere else (as it was when the date changed from October to January) so does anyone know if that’s a mistake in the release notes or whether the date has actually changed?

Has anyone come up with a good solution for avoiding list overlap across somewhat siloed business units?, and how to identify those before email sends go out? Standard deliverability reports will only show what has already been sent/delivered etc.  I'm trying to understand who will get caught in comms limits (ie - 2 per day / 5 per week) before it actually happens. Appreciate feedback. Thanks!

I have a form in which I am collecting first name, last name, and email address. I have a trigger campaign that syncs with our CRM. I have a second trigger campaign that sends an email after a 5 minute wait. Is this OK or should I combine these two trigger campaigns?

Hi everyone, sorry I could not find an answer to this. We are using embedded Marketo forms in our website that runs on Wordpress. When I send emails to known people, I want them to click a link and get to the asset in our web site (i.e., not to a standalone PDF), I want them to land on an asset landing page but not see the form. How can I achieve that? I understand that my web team needs to suppress it on the web server side - is that right? (Ideally, I would love to be able to avoid modifying the URLs in emails to indicate that the click comes from a Marketo-sent email - I found some recommendation for that approach but I'd prefer to not have to do that if possible). Thank you!

What if I told you that you could generate a brand-compliant email template in seconds by simply uploading a screenshot? Well, thanks to the latest release in both Marketo Engage and Journey Optimizer B2B Edition, Marketing Ops can do just that.    Creating and updating branded email templates has always been a critical part of the campaign creation process. Yet, for many marketers, this process has historically been time-consuming and resource-intensive, often requiring manual HTML coding or reliance on agencies and IT teams. These traditional methods not only slow down campaign execution but also consume valuable budget and resources.    The new Image to Template feature transforms the way Marketing Ops build email templates. Instead of spending hours coding or outsourcing, you can now convert design files, such as screenshots, into brand-compliant, editable HTML templates in seconds. No coding. No waiting. Just instant results.     With drag-and-dr

 I need to create a program in a manner for 10000 contacts. We can say: send to 30% on day 1, 30% on day 2 and the remaining 40% on the last day. I created a program, and I am receiving the email on the 4th day as well. Why is this issue coming up? If have any suggestions, please share them here. Thanks!

Hi Sanford and community,I'm implementing GTM tracking for our Marketo landing pages and need guidance on container strategy for our multi-region setup.Our Current Setup:Marketo subdomain2 domain aliasesWe promote pages using the region-specific subdomainMy Questions:Do I need a separate GTM container specifically for our Marketo subdomain? Or can I use one of our existing corporate domain containers?If I need a dedicated container for the Marketo subdomain, will one container work across all three regional subdomains given the domain alias setup and non-partitioned database?Form tracking: I've read your posts about needing eventCallback for proper form tracking. For our use case (form submissions that redirect to TY pages), is this the correct implementation in the form listener? javascriptform.onSuccess(function handleSuccess (values, followUpUrl) { window.dataLayer.push({ "event": "mkto.form.success", "mkto.form.values": values, "mkto.form.follo

I'm wondering why there is a discrepancy in the activity log and what could be causing it. In 2 customers activity logs, it shows that they opened an email from a nurture. But theres nothing in the activity log showing that the email was sent. Any reasons why this is happening?

happy hump day! i'm trying to understand where the data value changes (green in screenshot) are occurring. it is not happening via smart campaigns (this is usually how I handle data value changes) but rather via the Web service API. Are facebook lead ad forms considered Web Service API? tia!

Hello all,A field in our Salesforce is synchronized through a Connector with a field in the Marketo. That field in Salesforce is a text field but we want to change it to a picklist. I know that Marketo deletes the data in the fields if they don’t match. So just to be on the safe side we will export it and re-import it after we change the field type.1. How could this change affect the Marketo field and other things using that field?2. I've read somewhere that typically, Salesforce picklist values will synchronize as text values in Marketo - is this correct? 

This is going to be a doozy, so I apologize in advance to anyone that actually takes the time to read this.

Hi, We have several people in what step in a Trigger campaign (known people) 1. Is there a way to identify everyone who is in each of the wait steps? We have three wait steps.2. Does using "Override Campaign Priority" help move people through the wait step faster? Thank you!
