The most common reason this happens is because your "From" email address is incorrect. The easiest way to check this is to go into the results of your campaign, and do a search at the bottom for ‘email bounced’. When results come up, double click on a random one. It will show you the reason for the bounce.   Is this article helpful ? YesNo

Due to the way Excel handles CSV files with unicode data, you may need to follow these steps for importing the file into Marketo as UTF-8 data: Set up your Excel spreadsheet properly for your import (for example, removing unnecessary columns) Select all the data in the spreadsheet. Copy it to the clipboard (control-c in Windows, command-c in OS X) Paste the data into a text editor -- Notepad in Windows, TextEdit in OS XSave the file. In the "Save As" dialog, pick the UTF-8 option in the Encoding section at the bottom of the dialog In TextEdit, set the file to text only using Format -> Make Plain Text before pasting Save the file. In the "Save As" dialog, pick the UTF-8 option in the Encoding section at the bottom of the dialog Import the file into Marketo as a "Tab-separated values" file Your unicode characters should import correctly.

Issue The URL for the landing page shows as "https" even though you do not have SSL set up on your Marketo instance, causing the browser to display a "Not Secure" warning.   Solution This can happen if the primary domain and DNS are SSL secure, but Marketo is not.  For instance, if your primary domain is "mycompany.com" (SSL secure) then the DNS, which is also SSL secure, will push down the "https" transfer protocol down to all the CNAMEs on that DNS.  This will force the Marketo landing page using the CNAME to use "https" in the URL, even though it is not secure. There are two ways to resolve this: Work with your IT department to see if there is a non-SSL option for your DNS Purchase SSL for your Marketo instance so that both your primary domain and your Marketo pages are SSL secure. If you would like to add SSL to your Marketo instance, please contact your Account Manager to see about adding that to your subscription.     

Here are a few strategies for finding and handling your competitors if they get to your website or in your lead database. Finding your competitors The best ways to find your competitors are form fill-outs and inferred data.  You can use filters of these fields to find matching leads already in your lead database.  Use the Data Value Changes trigger with these fields to catch these leads as they enter your system. Inferred company This is the best way to spot anonymous competitors visiting your web site.  Try using the Inferred Company field to see if Marketo identified them by their IP address information. Email address There's a chance your competitors use their company email address when filling out your form.  Search for the domains of your competitors using the Email Address filter with the "contains" operator. Company name Like email address, this is a straightforward way to catch your competitors as they enter their information in your forms. Handling competitors You have a few choices for handling your competitors once you find them. Blacklist them Changing these leads' Blacklisted flag to true will ensure that they don't receive any more emails from you.  This is a good way to keep those leads in your database and ensure that they're not part of your email campaigns. This campaign will spot those leads and blacklist them should they appear: Smart List: Trigger on Data Value Changes where Email Address contains [your competitors domains] Flow: Change Data Value -- Blacklisted to true Send an alert You may find it useful to get alerted when your competitors visit your website.  Try this campaign: Smart List: Trigger on "Visit Web Page" Filter on "Inferred Company contains [your competitors]" Flow: Send Alert with an email that includes a Send Alert Info token. Schedule: Change the Qualification Rules to 1 per day But don't delete them Deleting these leads was probably your first reaction, but you probably shouldn't.  Instead, look at their Activity Log to find out what pages and offers they were viewing.  Also if they return to your site, their subsequent activity will be added to that activity log (as opposed to added to a new, anonymous lead).

Note: Please ensure that you have access to an experienced Web developer. Marketo Technical Support is not set up to assist with troubleshooting code. The listOperation SOAP API call allows for the ability to interact with static lists (My Lists) in the Lead Database. The supported operations are adding a lead to list (ADDTOLIST), checking if a lead is a member of the list (ISMEMBEROFLIST), and removing a lead from a list (REMOVEFROMLIST) Note, there is no operation to create a new list (or delete) via the SOAP API. The list must be created beforehand in the Lead Database. In the examples, the list is named "Static List".

Marketo recommends keeping the FT (First Touch) and MT (Multi-Touch) in separate reports .   Though they are attribution metrics, FT and MT use different measures to derive pipeline and revenue attribution.  One should not try to compare FT and MT metrics and having them in the same reports may cause confusion.   Step 1:  In RCE, Program Opportunity Analysis, identify the Program and Opportunity of interest.  If verifying FT, pull in relevant FT metrics. Ditto for MT. Also pull in Opportunity Closed and Opportunity Stage.  The combination will tell you if the status of opportunity (open, won, lost)  - which does affect attribution.   Step 2:  For the opportunity, find out the lead(s) associated to that opportunity and opportunity create/close date, status information. One way is to get this information is to do so in SFDC.  In SFDC, search for that Opportunity and scroll down to the Contact Role section to identify the associated leads (contact).  Other opportunity information should also be available. Another way is in RCE, Opportunity Analysis area.  Filter Opportunity Name to the opportunity of interest.  Pull in # of Opportunities and Lead Name.  You can also find out oppty create/closed date, status in this area.   Step 3:  Find out acquisition and success status/dates for the leads in the program In Marketing Activities, go to the program and click on Member. Search for the lead by name. The column Acquired By and Success will tell you if the lead is acquired by the program and/or achieved success, respectively. If the lead is acquired, to get Acquisition Date for this lead, in the lead grid, choose column Acquisition Date If the lead achieved success, to get Success date: Go to Lead details, click on Activity Log tab Search for program name and filter on activity type 'Change Status in Progression' Locate the FIRST success activity when a lead changed to a successful status.  RCA only counts the first success.  The activity date is the success date.   Step 4:  Evaluate if program is qualified for attribution for the program   The combination of Acquisition program/date, success status/date, opportunity create/close dates and opportunity status will help determine FT/MT attribution.  The rules of attributions is documented in Product Docs. With all the information gathered, you can now determine if the program is qualified for attribution for this opportunity.  Again, this technique is to verify if the program should get some attribution and doesn't necessarily give you the exact units and dollars.
