A little bit about your Adobe Marketo Engage Community Mentor, Erin:

 

 

 

With 10+ years of experience in marketing automation, analytics, digital marketing, CRMs, workflow design and more, I have a passion for technology and marketing. I have worked in different industries such as oil & gas, cyber security, retail, software, financial services, and non profit organizations.

General question to the group around CC'ing people on an email.

 

We're looking to set up a campaign where our sales team would be CC'd on an email.  

 

we have 50 people on our sales team and each sales rep is assigned to ~2,000 people.  If we set up the email CC functionality, will each sales rep receive ~2,000 emails when the campaign goes out?

 

Based on how I read the "how-to" section of this function - and how the sales reps activities in the email itself (e.g., clicks or even landing page visits/clicks) will be reflected on the primary persons record - I'm thinking that the sales rep would indeed receive ~2,000 emails.  

 

Could someone confirm this logic - or, help to steer me in the right direction?

 

I guess, the idea would be to just have the sales rep receive a single email so that they had a "heads up" that the emails went out.

 

Thoughts?

Hi @jeffhensiek 

I think I would agree that the sales rep would receive 2000 emails based on the below sentence I have read in the Email CC article: 

  • After an email campaign is executed, Send Email activity will include a list of all CC addresses that were included for each recipient of the mailing. If any CC addresses were skipped due to unsubscribe, it will be noted in the activity as well.

https://experienceleague.adobe.com/en/docs/marketo/using/product-docs/email-marketing/general/email-cc

As an alternative, I would recommend adding the sales reps' emails in the smart list itself as the purpose is just to let them know that the email has been triggered.

What do you think? 🙂

@sadhanara , Yes, I agree... I think that would be a better solution.  No need to clunk up their inboxes. 😁

Ok Team.

 

Here's a new question for us.  

We're in the process of rolling out a bunch of individual landing pages for some of our larger clients (I can explain the use case more if you'd like... just trying to stay brief).  These are essentially, "Resources" pages for them with gated content and lead capture.

 

Currently, each company receives their own co-branded landing page.  What I'd like to do is to build out the overall configuration so that everyone uses just one landing page... and the elements of the page are dynamic based on the URL parameters.

 

To further explain... this is a little more than dynamic insertion based on Segments or Tokens because many of these people won't be in our system... therefore, the Marketo Munchkin code won't populate, and there's no database for Marketo to refer to regarding a token... these are anonymous visitors.  

 

So, How do I change content based on the URL parameter?  For example, how do I trigger a logo to be swapped out based on the URL Parameter?

 

Thoughts from the group?

Hi Jeff. I've only used segmentation to send a basic email that uses segmentation for a specific salesperson's contact info. I basically "borrowed" a field we do not use for my segmentation Smart List and populated it with the salesperson's name. A combined list with customer data and the borrowed field was uploaded.

Now, that being said, would you be able to do something similar? For the Segmentation's Smart List, could you use Company Attribute, "Website"? I'm thinking you could create your segmentation based on "website", then within your email change the logo based on that parameter?

Sorry for the brevity of my response, I am taking a half day off today and trying to wrap up several things at once. I'm curious to have further discussions on this though!

I do like the train of thinking on this one - using a different field.

 

I guess, where I'm struggling is that these are anonymous visitors to the site... So, how would I go about being able to reference that field in a person record?

Hello everyone. Are we supposed to be taking the certification test this week? Was there a specific date to have the certification test taken? Thanks!

good question @laevinsdad .

 

I haven't heard back from @erinpollackq2 yet on the questions from last week, and I was hoping that I'd qualify for a discount coupon.  So, personally, I'll be holding off until I hear back on the coupon - and I think I'm planning on taking my test in July.

 

Just my 2 cents.
