Issue Issue Description Get the error 'Cannot get email content- Customer does not belong to any POD' when the URL from the 'view as webpage' link is forwarded for review     Solution Issue Resolution This is expected behavior as of the 2019Q1 release. After clicking on the view as webpage link, the mkt_tok value will be removed. Attempts at sharing the URL after this point will fail. The mkt_tok value should not be shared. It uniquely identifies the recipient.  This is a security enhancement.  The preferred method is to use Send Sample to send the email to teammates, or forward the email.

Issue Acquisition Program is not being assigned when a new lead is created by filling out a form associated with a program.  Environment Form embedded in a non-Marketo web page Solution In order for a program to be assigned as the acquisition program, the form and landing page both have to be child assets of the program. If the form is embedded on an external page, Marketo has no way to associate the form fill out with that specific program. You can either use a trigger campaign that looks for the form fill out and assigns the Acquisition Program through a Data Value Change flow step, or put the form on a Marketo landing page within the program.

Issue Issue Description API Only user is not appearing when creating a service in [Admin > LaunchPoint]     Solution Issue Resolution It is highly likely that the reason why the API user was not appearing because it did not have "API Only" ticked. This can be checked in [Admin > Users & Roles > User > Edit User]. However, this cannot be modified once the API user is created, so in order for the API user to appear in LaunchPoint, "API Only" must be ticked when the API user is created.    Reference: Create an API Only User Role   Who This Solution Applies To Admin users

Issue When you add variables to your email template assets, the value assigned to that variable is not showing in the text-only version of the email even though it shows in the HTML version. Solution Email 2.0 variables do not pass the defined values for variables through to the text-only email. Since Marketo token values are passed through to the text-only email, customers may expect variable values to also be passed through to text-only emails. However, this is not currently the case.

Article Text Image: Step Flow for Predictive Content for Web and Email What is Auto Content Discovery? This post explains the first part of the flow image above: discovering, mapping and tracking your content assets. Content Discovery is used in the Predictive Content app to auto-discover all the content assets (videos, pdf, blog posts, press releases, white papers, etc.) on a website/domain. Once discovered, you have the ability to see how your content is performing and to decide which pieces of content should be prepared, approved and enabled for the Predictive Content outcomes on web (either in the recommendation bar or rich media) and email.   Setting up Predictive Content and Content Discovery See Set Up Docs: docs.marketo.com/display/public/DOCS/Getting+Started+with+Predictive+Content Steps RTP Javascript tag is installed on all your web pages (Note: RTP is now called Web Personalization) Set Asset Discovery to On Asset Discovery auto-discovers extensions (PDFs, PPT, MP4, OFF, WEBM) and a click/view on embedded videos (Youtube, Vimeo, Wistia) Create URL Patterns Setting URL patterns auto-discovers content when a web visitor clicks on the HTML web page relevant to the content pattern The URL syntax pattern determines your ability to optimally use this feature (e.g., to create a pattern for press releases, your press releases should all be stored on a page identified as www.yoursite.com/press-releases/*). How is content auto-discovered? The content discovery technology uses an event listener that runs on every web page (where the RTP Javascript tag is installed) and waits for a web visitor to click on a URL link or arrive directly on that web page in a browser. If that link includes an extension (PDF, ppt, embedded video) or matches the URL pattern defined, then it will be discovered and added to the All Content page in the Predictive Content app.   Only content pieces that a web visitor interacted with (clicked on or viewed) once the RTP Javascript tag has been installed are discovered via Content Discovery. If the content is already discovered, then it will add to the tracking and views of those discovered content pieces. You can also manually add new content to be listed and tracked in the All Content page.   Image: All Content Page in the Predictive Content app displaying and tracking all discovered content What data is discovered? Visitor Data (Used for Analytics + Predictive Algorithm) Pages Viewed  - number of page views by the user in the session Visit Count for Web Visitor Last Content URL Seen Last 5 Content Assets clicked via Predictive Content that have been seen by this visitor in last 90 days Last Web Campaigns Seen - 10 last campaigns per session (within the last 5 sessions) Inferred Organization Inferred, Industry, Size, Revenue Inferred Country, State, City Search Term   Content Data  Extensions Video (Youtube, Vimeo, Wistia) Video Name Video URL Video Image URL PDF PDF Name PDF URL   URL Patterns (HTML pages) Found via metadata of the HTML page Content Name Content URL Content Image URL Content Description What data is auto-populated during the auto-discovery phase? Based on the content data we discover, the aim is to populate as much of the Predictive Content as possible, making it quicker, easier and involving less prep work for you. However, you do still need to review the discovered content, then approve and enable it for the Predictive Source (Email, Rich Media, Recommendation Bar). Assuming we discover an HTML page defined in URL patterns, this HTML content piece will be populated in the following fields in Predictive Content:   Predictive Content Fields Auto-Populated Value Notes Content Name (Content Name) Unique Value Content URL (Content URL) The URL is consistent for all sources (email, bar, rich media) Categories Video OR Category Name from URL Pattern If Video discovered, the category is populated as Video. Category populated from defined URL Pattern. e.g. Marketo.com/blog = Blog all discovered content based on this URL will receive Blog as a category Category is consistent for all sources (email, bar, rich media) Content Title (Content Name)   Email Title (Content Name)   Email URL (Content URL)   Email Image URL (Content Image URL)   Email Button Label Read More Not Auto-populated. Default is "Read More".

Included in this Article:   Overview The Problem The Solution Rich Media Content Recommendation Engine Info     Overview The Content Recommendation Engine (CRE) is a powerful tool that will allow you to promote online content to your visitors based on their behaviors and the performance of the content itself. When the RTP tag is used on multiple domains, it will pull in all available content regardless of which domain it's on. For some marketers, this can be a problem.     The Problem With the standard Content Recommendation Engine, this is an expected behavior. You can't limit the the recommendations from one domain to stop showing up on other domains. The content being recommended will show across all domains where the RTP tag is in use.     The Solution There are two types of Content Recommendation Engine. The Rich Media Content Recommendation Engine will let you get around this problem.   The standard Content Recommendation Engine gives the bar along the bottom of the web page with the content recommendations in it. This recommendation engine is expected to have content extending across all domains where your RTP tag is in use.   The Rich Media Content Recommendation Engine will allow you to target which content you want to have in which places by categorizing the content and specifying which categories each web page should pull from.     Rich Media Content Recommendation Engine Info For directions on how to utilize the Rich Media Content Recommendation Engine, please see: Enabling the Rich Media Recommendation Engine - Marketo Docs - Product Docs
