Is there any way to extract the dynamic URL from Email campaign in Marketo?

Hi,

We are trying to extract the Dynamic URL in the email campaign. However, as of now, we are just previewing an email to see the dynamic url and saving it manually.

We are looking for a tool or api which will extract URLs including Dynamic URLs from email campaign without going through lot of steps.

Thanks,

You cannot generate tracking server URLs offline.  (I don't know what you mean by "the" dynamic URL, also, since it's unique per lead-email combination.)

Please explain your use case in detail. This isn't something you should be contemplating in a normal workflow.

Hi Sanford.

Thanks for your inputs. Appreciate it.

Actually, here is the scenario.

We have email campaigns in Marketo and those email contains dynamic content. By saying that, I have to go through that email asset and preview it and then I am going at the Segment to fetch the urls by copying the link address. Since, there are a lot of email campaigns around 92, so I am looking for the way which is automated and would not involve so many manual steps.

As per my research, there are api to add the dynamic content. However, how can we fetch the dynamic content from the email campaign.

Hope this makes my situation clear.

Thanks,

Not really! 

What are you trying to do with this content?  Are you trying to proof every email + segment combination, for every send?  How does the online Preview by Segmentation + Segment take more manual steps than if you had an offline HTML copy of ( 92 * {number of segments} ) emails?

It sounds like you're referencing the masked url marketo creates for link tracking? If so, that's not the way to track these. As Sanford suggested, please provide a bit more information on your use-case.

Do you need to trigger on them individually, or just reference when one or more are clicked? You could always do 'clicks link in email' link IS NOT, and add all the non-dynamic links, thus indicating any other link in the email (inserted dynamically or not) would trigger the action. But if you're triggering based on what that exact link would be, that wouldn't really work.

I'd go a step deeper than that... if you only need link variations that were ever clicked, you can use the Bulk Export API to get those Clicked Email activities.

But a full list of any link that could ever have been clicked, even if it never saw any engagement, is not possible. There's always some chunk left out.

    Thank you everyone.

    We ended up using a combination of manual and one tool to make a list of the Dynamic URLs.

    Thanks,
