We have Advisors that register for ON24 sessions using personal or other email addresses we do not currently have in Marketo. We have two types of campaigns. Those that will use the ON24 integration and some where we would get out list from Marketo.   1) For the ON24 integration, when an unknow Marketo Advisor registers, will a record in Marketo be created and or will they receive a “thank you” for registering email (assuming we have that set up in Marketo)2) When Advisors register for an ON24 webinar, we receive a record for the user in CDP. For some of the registered users, we receive an email address that does not exist in CDP; they may have used a personal email address. Does our Marketo integration with CDP prevent us from creating new users with just an email address from CDP?

Hello!This might be a dumb question - I know the munchkin cookie is generated from a webpage/domain visit and the mt_tok token from emails/forms - but is there anything in the munchkin cookie itself that identifies the Lead?My initial assumption is no - assuming the munchkin cookie is re-generated each new "session" if it is cleared and the only Lead identification comes from the email/form token and not anything in the cookie itself?

Hi community,   We had a partner share some attribution links for an upcoming email.   servedby.flashtalking.com/click/8/192598;7178499;369307;211;0/?ft_width=1&ft_height=1&us_privacy=${US_PRIVACY}&url=35592528   I'm not privy to some of the technical nuances here, but we don't use links that route through ad severs -- and Marketo won't even validate the link because of the ${US_Privacy} element.   Are there any technical folks out there who can provide some context as to what's going on here?   Thanks,   Dan

Don't really appreciate that if I'm cloning a rather involved event program that has a landing page as part of it, the name of the cloned program finds its way into the new program's landing page URL. I see that this can be toggled in URL settings but when creating many cloned events (which, unfortunately, many of us have to do), it's another tedious step. Also if you're like me and you don't have a ton of experience with the process of cloning and altering intricate programs, you can end up with a long list of URLs to correct. I get how it could be a handy feature, but seems like a weird default.

We have been working on an a persistent issue for a couple months where not all contacts that are obtained from LinkedIn Lead Gen programs are being captured in the corresponding Marketo program. We came to the conclusion with Marketo Support, that the 'Company' field name can cause this integration to fail, and the person will not be recorded within the Marketo program.  This is only happening with records that already exist in our Marketo database. This is inconvienent and we have to check frequently to see if we have any missing leads and manually add them into our programs.  We are wondering if there will be a solution for this anytime soon? 

Hey Community,we started seeing Marketo-SF sync error notifications (see attached) and are confused. Below is the description of the flow based on example of one of the leads:1. Person unsubscribes in Marketo2. Sync goes to SF marking them as "true" for the SF field: Opt out3. Sync goes from SF to Marketo marking our custom field "Hide from Marketo" as true. This means that in SF this lead is hidden from future synchs between Marketo and SF. 4. Then, if there is any attribute update on this lead in Marketo (i.e. vertical update shown on screenshot), then Marketo tries to sync it to SF, and the sync issue notification comes up.We are just confused - is this on our side (Marketo) or on SalesOps side (SF)? Of course "Hide from Marketo" is our own custom field update process, but we are trying to identify where the correction in this process should be made. GOAL: after the lead in SF is hidden from Marketo updates, then it should NOT attempt to sync anymore but it mistakenly still tri

Hi,  I have been trying to implement a flow step service using the documentation outlined here The documentation clearly states you can use my.tokens in the flowstep context. I have tried many times to do this and have found the tokens to not populate and instead the raw string token key is passed. Below is the payload that is received by my service from Marketo in a 201 POST request. Given that this is a relatively new feature to Marketo I am potentially thinking this may be a bug?  Here is my declaration in the getServiceDefinition. When I create the service in Marketo I can see that I am giving permission to use my token context.  Please may someone from the team assist me in understanding how this is to be properly used? Many thanks, James Baird

Hi everyone,I'm trying to build out a form where the labels hidden until a user types into that field and the label then appears above. Below is a screenshot of what I'm trying to do. The hint text is in place and everything is styled and good to go, I am just not familiar enough with javascript to get this to work (I'm assuming its a javascript solution?). Note that this needs to happen on a per-field basis. I don't want all field to appear when you start typing into just 1 field. @Sanford Whiteman​, I know you're the go-to guy with this sort of javascript question.Any help would be great!Thanks,Tim

Hello,I currently have a generic text message campaign that goes out to customers who missed a monthly payment on their policy. We would like to start including the amount of money they owe as well as the date the payment was due. Unfortunately this data is only stored within a Custom Object. I tried to use Velocity Scripting in order to populate the text but I do not believe Texts/Webhooks can utilize Custom Object data. Is anyone aware of a workaround for this? Or is it possible to send the data that is within the person Custom Object to the person object so that we can use it?Thanks,Jim

Hello all!Looking to see how others handle this concept. We're working on setting up more tracking to coordinate between multiple channels of marketing.  My initial idea was to set a Channel up with program statuses like: - Added to Program - 10 - Sent Email - 20 - Sent Direct Mailer - 20 - Added to Digital Ad Audience - 20 And so forth, basically encompassing our different strategies within one program. Where it gets tough is that in theory, we're going to use the program members to display ads within our online portal.So, there's possibility someone could both receive an email and see a digital ad. Obviously with program statuses this creates as issue as a Lead can only inhibit one status at a time. Also, attribution gets a bit wonky.Is there any way to create like a overarching program (say Auto Loan Campaign), load in all target Leads and then use sub-programs to break it out by specific channel? I'm assuming not 🙂

We have a lot of old emails that are using an image URL with http instead of https. The image automatically redirects to https if you load it in your browser, but it still appears in these old emails that are using the http link. Is it possible to disable the http URL so the image won't load in emails that use the http URL? Or is it possible to force all the email assets using the http URL to update to the https URL? There are over 12,000 emails using the asset and they'll need to be manually updated, so it's not really feasible. 

Hello!  We are building an exclusion list with all competitor email domains. This list will filter out all competitor leads entering our database both via form fills for download forms and lead imports. I want to however make sure the leads coming via contact us forms on the website are not filtered out even if the email domain matches the competitor domain and is on the blocklist. Any thoughts on how this can be achieved? Thanks.

Hello,   I have smart campaigns set up to trigger lead scores based on changed statuses. We recently had an event, and updated the registrants to "Attended" and "No show". For lead scoring, we add people to the flow based on the trigger:   Program Status Change isProgram "is any" New Program status is "Event > Attended" The trigger results show there was no one was affected. However, when I played around with a filter rather than a trigger and set it as:   Program Status Changed:The program "is any" New Program status "is any"Date "last 2 days"   I can see all the people who should have been updated. Any idea of why this is happening and how I can remedy it? Let me know, thanks!

Hello, Marketo community!   I typically incorporate SFDC campaigns as flow steps in some of my Smart Campaigns, and I don't utilize SFDC campaigns at the program level.   Usually, when I create a campaign in Salesforce, it becomes available as an option in the Marketo flow within a few minutes, usually within 10 to 15 minutes.   However, I created a Salesforce campaign this morning, approximately 5 hours ago, and it still hasn't appeared as an option in the Marketo flow step "Add to SFDC campaign" picklist.   I've followed the same process countless times before, and it has consistently worked. I haven't deviated from my usual procedure this time. Additionally, there are no sync error messages appearing on either platform.   Do you have any insights into what might be causing this issue?

Hi All- we are trying to send MQL notifications to the appropriate sales reps but the issue is that the Sales Owner (Lead Owner/Contact Owner in CRM) or Account owner is not the field that we want to use as the recipient of the emails. So, for now we add the actual recipient of the email to the  'to other emails' section and leave the 'Send to' section as the Sales Owner. This leads to email going out to incorrect people and the appropriate people just being CCed on it.   So, my questions are: 1. Can any other Owner field be added in the 'Send to' drop down? OR 2. Can we set the 'Send to' to 'None' and the recipients mentioned in the 'to other emails' will still get the email?

I was thinking about creating a QR code but I was wondering how it would work with Marketo. For example, we have a trade show coming up and we want to have QR codes by the machines so they can watch YouTube videos of our products straight from their phone. What would be the best way to go about doing this so we can track who exactly watches the video, uses the QR code, etc.?Any help would be appreciated! Thanks so much!

Marketo’s ${variable} syntax conflicts with other languages using the same dollar-single-curly-quote syntax, like good ol’ JavaScript.   So if you try to use a JS template literal in the LP Editor... <script> let a = `Report ID ${report} for ${this.name}`; </script>   ... Marketo naturally thinks you’re referring to missing variables and throws an error:   Officially, there’s no alternate syntax in Marketo (and there’s definitely no way to change the delimiter in JS). But the workaround is easy. Create a global Text token {{my.d}} just containing the single character $:     (Why {{my.d}}? Just copying Velocity’s $esc.d, which also escapes the dollar sign. You could use another name if you want, but this should be easy to remember.)   Use that token to escape the $ sign: <script> let a = `Report ID {{my.d}}{report} for {{my.d}}{this.name}`; </script>   Marketo will render this as: <script> let a = `Report ID ${report}

I'm trying to build a report that can show me the number of opportunities that have Bizible Attributed Touchpoints (BATs) against them, but I can only seem to build one that shows the number of BATs across the Opps. Has anyone been able to do this? Thanks!

Hi all!  Our database has too many prospect records and we are looking to delete any records that are in SFDC as outbound leads that do not need to be in Marketo.  We are thinking about creating a custom sync filter field on the records in Salesforce to prevent them from syncing back into Marketo.  My question is, if in the future, these records request a demo or interact with our website, are organically created in Marketo, will we be able to reset the sync? Or will the sync to the salesforce records still be blocked? Is there a way around this? or will Marketo try to create a duplicate record in SF as Marketo cannot sync the records? Thanks in advance!
