Campaign Inspector for Triggered & Recurring Campaigns

Overview

It can be difficult sometimes to know how many trigger campaigns you have running or where they’re located. Marketo can show you where they all are inside of the Campaign Inspector. This article will show you where to find Campaign Inspector and what to look for when you’re going through it.

Turning on Campaign Inspector

Campaign Inspector isn’t enabled in all Marketo instances by default, but it can be switched on pretty quickly.

To turn on Campaign Inspector:

1. Log in to your Marketo instance.

2. Click on the Admin link at the top of the window.

3. Click on Treasure Chest.

4. On the Campaign Inspector section, click EDIT.

5. In the dialog window that appears, check the Enabled box and click the Save button.

If you have trouble turning on Campaign Inspector, please Contact Marketo Support

Finding Campaign Inspector

The Campaign Inspector is a tab located inside of Marketing Activities. Once it’s enabled, you will find it right next to the Marketing Activities tab.

What does Campaign Inspector show?

The Campaign Inspector will show you the active trigger campaigns or recurring batch campaigns that you have in your Marketo instance.

As you can see, the details can be sorted by Campaign Type, Campaign Name, Triggers Used, Activity Filters, Flow Actions used, and the date it was last modified.

Searching for specific campaigns

At the bottom of the window, there is a search field where you can search for specific campaigns.

For example, in the screenshot above, you’ll see an operational campaign with triggers listening for emails that have bounced. If you search for the word “bounce” in the quick find, these campaigns will pop right up! Makes it really handy when you have large numbers of campaigns running!

Exporting the results

One of the great benefits of Campaign Inspector is that it has the ability to export results! Just click the export button at the bottom on the toolbar and you’ll get the spreadsheet downloaded.

How do you look up a campaign by its number?  I exported a report of campaigns but the report does not lists the campaigns by numbers not their names. For example - Batch campaign 1742.  We don't label our campaigns that way???

I love this feature and I hope you keep it. It makes updating smart campaigns so much easier. Most recently I have used it to update all our triggered campaigns that have a specific trigger in them. I narrowed my search in the campaign inspector to just triggered campaigns and then in the search bar at the bottom of the inspector tab I searched for all triggered campaigns with our naming convention used. We use the specific campaign in just about every program we set up to change the status of the lead for our revenue model. With the inspector I found all the affected campaigns in one list so I could go through them and update in one shot. It was also nice to see the little archived symbol next to archived smart campaigns.

I like that you can also use the small Campaign Inspector icon in the main search bar in Marketing Activities to select the type of campaigns you want to see and then add your search term in the dialogue box to the left.
