Feasibility Check: Adding Email Asset/Preview Links to Tableau Reports

Hi Team,

I wanted to check the feasibility of adding an email mirror/preview link/asset link from Marketo into our reporting in Tableau.

Currently, we use Tableau for marketing reporting, with activity data pulled daily from Marketo via API into our data warehouse. This data is then used to report on tableau along with additional metrics such as opportunities generated, leads generated, and other KPIs based on our business logic.

We now have a requirement to include a mirror link, preview link, or email asset link for the email so it can be reported alongside performance metrics in Tableau. The goal is to allow users to easily click the link and open the email to review its content. This would help us analyze top-performing emails over a given period and understand what contributed to their performance, so those learnings can be applied to future campaigns.

Could you please advise if it’s feasible to extract and pass any of these email links from Marketo to our data warehouse via API and display them as links in Tableau? Any guidance on the best approach would be greatly appreciated, as our team is planning to implement this and I’d like to confirm the feasibility.

Thanks in advance for your help.

Regards,
Akshat

​@SanfordWhiteman  When you mentioned rendered HTML for an email asset by simulating a specific lead, were you referring to something like the example below?

Is it possible to preview the email without using a lead? We only need to review the content.

Also, I understand that the mirror page link isn’t possible to get in the tableau right , but the preview link is — could you please confirm if that’s correct?

If you have any documentation or steps for this please share. It would also help if you could confirm exactly which link can be retrieved via the API and what needs to be done from our end.

You can get rendered HTML for an email asset, simulating a specific lead, using the REST API.

 

But you can’t get a Marketo-hosted preview link that way, you’d have to store the response yourself. It’s 100% doable but not built-in.

No, there’s no preview link as in a URL that can be opened in the browser. You can get the preview HTML from the Full Content endpoint.

 

You need to store the response HTML somewhere, though. You can just save it to a file that’s available over http and link to that file. You definitely don’t want to retrieve emails on the fly every time the person looks at Tableau, that’ll slaughter your API calls.
