Removal of "Is Anonymous" filters.

Hi all,

We have been receiving today an information from Cheryl Chavez​ about the removal of the is Anonymous filter, as part of the release of Munchkin v2. See here for more details : Next Generation Munchkin Tracking FAQ - Marketo Docs - Product Docs

Although this new version of the munchkin and the way the V2 will work is promising, there is one thing we will be missing, though: the ability to look at the anonymous leads, display inferred and origin informations and create an understanding of where they come from and how they arrived here.

Also, some database providers use anonymous leads to read their IP addresses and provide in return some leads from the same IP address for retargeting. They will be in hard difficulty.

Your thoughts ?

Folks, I've gotten some Support KB articles published to go over the full scope of details about these upgrades coming out. Here are the links to all of them:

Anonymous Lead Upgrades Overview

Anonymous Lead Upgrades – Changes Inside Marketo UI

Hopefully these will help give more details!

Enjoy!

Hi all who wonder how to prevent a smart campaign to run retroactively. Just set a filter "lead was created" filter (no date constraint).

And a "Not lead was created" filter (no time constraint) for smart campaigns that should not run after lead creation

Hello Gregoire,

Since the "Is Anonymous" filter is gone, if we want to filter "Anonymous Leads" (not through Web Activity Report) and delete those "Anonymous Leads, can you advice that how can we make our goal happen?

If I do this, can we say I found "Anonymous Leads"?

Thanks,

Becky

Hi Becky,

You cannot access these anonymous people any longer, but they do not count against your licence quota either. An Marketo delete them if they remain inactive on your web site during 90 days.

So why would you want to delete them ?

Thank you so much Gregoire for your quick response. And great question for why do we want to delete them.

Because "we thought" that anonymous people are belong to our Marketo Database. We want to clean out the database by deleting certain type of leads, so the database will have more capacity. I am not sure if those anonymous people occupied / count in the database. If they are not really count as part of the database, I won't suggest to delete them.

Best,

Becky
