copyright year in footer to auto-update in an email? Is this really possible?

Hi,

Marketo apparently has a token for this, but I do not believe it will work. ESPs are going to translate it to pull in the copyright year on emails?
Is there a bullet-proof way to have the copyright year auto update in my email templates for whenever they get sent out to recipients?

Thanks!

Sounds like someone hallucinated that token. Where did you see that documented? (Also not sure what you meant by “ESPs translate” still — email recipients’ servers don’t understand tokens.)

In any case, use this: The definitive guide to setting up copyright year {{my.tokens}} for Emails and LPs

What token are you referring to, and what do you mean by "ESPs are going to translate it"?

{{system.dateYear}} ...tested this and it does not render the year.

Hi @christine_lebla

I created a Current Year token which I include in all Snippets used as email footers.

This is top level in Marketing Activities so used globally.

Instead of changing 64+ email footers once a year for example for Copywriter year - I change it once

A major timesaver for all, one person usually me update the year.

The token can also be used in operational emails/newsletters as necessary.

But you can make it completely unattended. One less thing to remember.

Hi @christine_lebla Happy New Year

Did you manage to make the change for automatic current year update in your instance?
