Email Invalid Flag & Creating a Smart Campaign to Update It

In Marketo when an email is flagged as invalid, the value does not automatically change from True to False if that email is manually corrected in Marketo or when it is corrected in SFDC and synced back to Marketo. To try to account for this, I have set up a smart campaign to identify when the data value changes in the Email Address field and have the flow change the data value in the Email Invalid field to False.

Has anyone else found a better solution to this? Or is this the standard process others have set-up to change the Email Invalid value when an email has been corrected?

Eric,

Correct, there is no out-of-the-box smart campaign to uncheck email invalid if the email address is updated. So what you have here will work. I would make sure you adjust the qualification rules to make sure that leads can flow through every time and in the smart list, make sure you only include leads that are currently email invalid, so not all leads run through unnecessarily.

In new instances, at least for awhile, there was an Reset Invalid Campaign that triggers when Email Address is changed and then flips Email Invalid=F.

Yes, you should do this if not done already. Ok to be a batch too.

Grégoire, forgive me if this is a rookie question, but what does the trigger Campaign Is Requested do in this scenario?

You may have a situation where the email address has not changed, but the conditions that led to it being invalid have changed (like DNS misconfiguration).

As a follow up to this discussion, I am finding that even if an email address changes from lower case to upper case or vice versa, this flow is being triggered. Nothing else in the email address has changed and is most likely coming into Marketo from a .csv list import. As a result of this, the email is changing from invalid to valid and then back to invalid again soon after I send an email campaign to it again. Are there any tips on how to address this? Should I de-dupe my list before importing to make sure I'm not importing any leads that already exist? Or always ensure that my email addresses are in lower case?

Thanks!

Hi Eric,

Better create a new question than reopening an old one to get a quicker answer.

One way to homogenize all email addresses in lowercase is to use a webhook.
