Remove Instance name from the url of a document hosted in Marketo

Let's say I have a url that is go.domain.com/rs/555-QQQ-555/images/name-of-my-document.pdf​ .

Is there any way to get the Marketo Instance code ("555-QQQ-555" from example) removed?

Thanks in advance!

Hi Lauren,

Removed, no. but you can replace it with your Account string, found in the admin->landing page. That's true for LP URL's too.

You can create a redirector page with a custom URL that in turn redirects to the document (you should always use redirector pages when sending links via email).  This will not hide the final target URL, though.

Or you could set up an entirely different domain that uses a CDN to hide the original URL.

But why?

While not directly answering your question, one way to make the final url not visible to try some sort of an iframe solution. Would need javascript coding though.

Also remember you can use your account string, too (if that meets your aims), i.e.:

EDIT: This is what Greg suggested earlier, which I somehow missed.

that was also my recommendation, see above

Sorry, your response was "above the fold" and I never saw it on my phone! (Working on the go today.)

Thank you all! That answered my question. All good answers, but the account string is what I was looking for. Thanks!
