Issue Recent Activities are shown in Lead Activity Log for being added to an SFDC Campaign, however this campaign may have occurred a significant time in the past. Solution A common reason for this occurring is a deleted record in SFDC was restored, so the past activities are coming down to Marketo as if they happened recently. The root cause is that the SysModStamp for one of the object records (Campaign, Campaign Member, Campaign Member Status) for the record was updated, so, in the perspective of the Sync User, the newly updated (recent SysModStamp time) record needs to be queued up to be synced. If this is causing some unintended Marketo Trigger Campaign activity, we advise that active Trigger Campaigns be reviewed to make sure that past campaigns are deactivated, and only relevant campaigns are currently active.

Summary Result for Smart List using Web Page constraint is greater than the result for the total of conversion on Landing Page Performance Report.  Issue Result for Smart List using Web Page constraint is greater than the result for the total of conversion on Landing Page Performance Report.  Solution Ensure to append version number to the Landing Page when renaming and ensure each Landing Page has a unique name. Root Cause •             Smart List looks at the information written to the lead’s activity log. •             The Web Page constraint looks at the label and not the ID of the Landing Page. If the Landing Page was renamed, it will show a different result depending what is written to the lead’s activity log. >> Example 1: Lead A filled out the Form when the Landing Page was called LP1. Lead B filled out the Form when the Landing Page was called LP2. Smart List: Filter 1: Filled out Form Form is XXX Web Page is LP2 Result: In this scenario, the result will only display Lead B. >> Example 2: Lead A filled out the Form when the Landing Page was called LPX (ID111) Lead B filled out the Form when the Landing Page was called LPX (ID112) Smart List: Filter 1: Filled out Form Form is XXX Web Page is LPX Result: In this scenario, the result will display Lead A and Lead B. •             Landing Page Performance Report look at data specific to the asset ID. •             Landing Page Performance Report only look at active Landing Pages, therefore data for the deleted Landing Page(s) will not be included. •             If the Landing Page is renamed, it will be reflected on the Landing Page Performance Report (i.e. the Landing Page Performance Report will display the new name going forward).   Environment > Landing Page Performance Report conversion  > Smart List constraint Web Page

Issue How do the links (both Marketo and Non-Marketo) populate in the dropdown of Visited Web Page trigger or filter? Solution The drop-down shows a limited number of options. These links are fetched from any of your leads' activity logs. The values in the dropdown of the "Visited Web Page" will show if there is any lead who visited a webpage and this webpage or link is stored in the activity log of the email (may be in past). If the expected webpage doesn't show up in the dropdown list, first try typing it in and letting the autocomplete offer the URL.  If you type it in and it still doesn't show as an option, then none of the leads have visited that page at least once. You can create a test lead for yourself and visit the desired webpage to get this added in the dropdown.

Issue When trying to clone a Form or Landing page from Design Studio to a specific Program under Marketing Activities, there is no list of programs that appear.   Solution This is expected behavior. When you don't see a program listed, this is because the number of programs in Marketing Activities actually exceeds what we're able to display at one time. If you start typing into the Program field in the pop-up window, you should start to see programs listed in the drop-down. For example, you enter the name of the particular program, you will get a result.

Summary Aggregating/summing two score fields Issue You have two new score fields (for example: 'Implicit score' and 'explicit score') and you're wondering if there's a way to sum/aggregate these scores together for all records within Marketo. Solution To aggregate different score values together within Marketo, you should first create a third 'sum' field meant to capture the aggregate of the two scores. (Example: 'sum score') Now, we have 3 scores: Explicit Score, Implicit Score, and a Sum Score SOLUTION First, setup the scoring smart campaigns for implicit and explicit score as you normally would. Once those scoring programs are setup, add the sum score field to the flow of each respective campaign, increasing that score by the same interval that you increase the implicit or explicit score by. This should allow the scores to aggregate over time. Example 1 "Implicit Scoring campaign: Trigger: Visits web page 'x' Flow: 1. Change Score [Implicit score] Change: +5           2. Change Score [Sum score] Change: +5 Explicit Scoring campaign: Trigger: Fills out form 'y' Flow: 1. Change Score [Explicit score] Change +10           2. Change Score [Sum score] Change +10 Final result if a record runs through both campaigns > Implicit score: 5, Explicit score: 10, Sum score: 15" In the above example, the sum score flow step is simply added to each respective explicit/implicit scoring campaign, with the same change interval applied. Once applied to all relevant scoring programs in the instance, the sum score should continue aggregating the two scores into the sum score field. If you're increasing both explicit and implicit scores within one campaign instead of separating out by score type, you could also accomplish this with the same logic and instead adding the summed score interval within that same flow, for example: Example 2 "Scoring campaign: Trigger: Person is created Flow: 1. Change Score [Implicit score] Change: +3           2. Change Score [Explicit score] Change: +4           3. Change Score [Sum score] Change: +7 Result > Implicit: 3, Explicit: 4, Sum: 7" -------------------------------------------------------------------- Potential Alternative solutions: 1. Have your SFDC/CRM Admin create a workflow within the CRM which sums the two fields as they sync. This requires the score fields in question to be synced to the CRM. 2. Call a webhook, which will keep the aggregate in line with the individuals each time it's called. This would be a custom webhook implementation that Support cannot assist with.

Issue You are attempting to import a program into your instance but you get the message "The tokens (lead.example) are not available in the destination subscription. They are either custom fields that you have to create or need to be synced from your CRM system, if you use one."     Solution Tokens referencing fields that do not exist in the destination instance cannot be imported. You will need to remove all references to those tokens from the program, as well as from all the assets that are contained within it. Tokens can also exist in the text versions of emails, or within the templates that emails are based on, and not appear within the HTML version of that email. These tokens will also prevent program imports and must be removed.

Issue A Change Data Value activity gets recorded on a person record but the Updated At field for the record doesn't get changed to reflect it.   Solution The "Updated At" field in Marketo is a system managed field that gets refreshed any time that there is a data value change to a person field, but not when the field is on the company object instead.  To confirm what object the field in question is on, search for it in Field Management and check what folder it is located in.  The folder Info (or Lead Info) contains person fields while company fields are contained within the Company Info folder.

Issue Activity History in Saleforce shows this message: [Email details are being uploaded from Marketo...please check back later] when emails are sent out from the Marketo Outlook Plugin.     Solution This message is created because of insufficient privileges for the Marketo sync user inside of SFDC. There is a permission for “Edit HTML Templates” that needs to be enabled for the sync user in order to prevent this problem from occurring. Background: When you send an email using the Marketo Outlook plugin, it is sent through the user's Exchange server rather than Marketo's email servers. Many users have an email signature that is automatically added to the email. This adds additional HTML to the email, which does not match the template already in Salesforce Sales Insight. Normally, Marketo would create a new template which Salesforce could then display in a link in the Activity History. However, in this case, the Marketo sync user does not have the necessary permissions, so this error results. To fix this, enable the "Edit HTML Templates" permissions to your Marketo Sync User.   Who This Solution Applies To Customer who are using Sales Insight for Salesforce and Outlook

Issue You want to create a field that will grab the web page the form was filled out on and add this as a token in an alert that goes to sales when a form is filled out. Solution This can be achieved either through a Smart Campaign or the JS API code. The code is more efficient because it doesn't mean another trigger is active in your instance. Smart campaign: You'll want to create a smart campaign with Smart List - Fills Out Form and Flow - Change Data Value, [your field name], New Attribute is {{trigger.Web Page}} You would need to reference the trigger token in the alert email so the team knows what product page the end user filled out the form on.   Code: (Embedded Form) This can be done with a hidden field.   MktoForms2.loadForm("//app-**01.marketo.com", "***-***-***", 148,     function(form)     {         form.addHiddenFields({ LastFormURL : document.location.href })        }); The asterisks represent your company's Marketo data (your Munchkin ID and Marketo instance). Your developer will know what to do if s/he is already using the embed code.   Code: (Marketo LP) In a Marketo LP, you will have to edit the template and put this at the end, before the </body> tag :   <script> MktoForms2.whenReady(function (form) {     form.addHiddenFields({ LastFormURL : document.location.href }); }); </script>

Issue When comparing the Engagement Score on the Engagement Dashboard, the scores do not match with the Email Insight Engagement Scores. Environment Engagement Program Email Insight Solution The Engagement Score from the Engagement Dashbaord will hold the most accurate information as this is direct information, rather than for example with RCA/RCE and Email insights where the data source is different. If you want to see Engagement Score over a period of time more accurately, use the Engagement Stream performance report: Engagement Stream Performance Report | Adobe Marketo Root Cause The Engagement Score on the Engagement Dashbaord only calculates the last 3 casest, it is also important to remember that the engagement score only includes emails that were cast more than 72 hours ago. As per this documentation: The Engagement Dashboard | Adobe Marketo In comparison, the Email Insight Engagement Score is calculated over a period of time that is set by the user but the data can still be mismatching, this is due to the fact that the data source is not the same from the Engagement Dashboard.

Issue Description The Issue When using the Filter 'Member of SFDC Campaign' in the Smart List and checking the people tab to see which records are qualified, this message occurs: Could not evaluate rule 1 (SFDC Campaign 'Campaign Name' not found)  Note: it may state could not evaluate rule # - # can be any number, if the filter is number 5.  # will equal 5 Issue Resolution The Fix Ensure the that the SFDC Campaign being referenced in the Smart List is an ACTIVE campaign The Why This error occurs due to the SFDC Campaign not being an active campaign in SFDC. You may be wondering "then why can I select the SFDC campaign in the drop down?" This is because the Smart List Filter specifically 'Member of SFDC Campaign' similar to 'Has Opportunity' filter reference a backend table in Marketo. This backend table is updated when a SFDC Campaign is removed or renamed. Therefore, Marketo does not directly perform an API call to check if the campaign is selectable, but rather uses the backend table as reference. One way to check in Marketo if the SFDC Campaign is active is to check the 'Added to SFDC Campaign' Trigger in a Smart Campaign's Smart List as that dropdown will only show active campaigns.
