A Guide to Types Of Marketo Notifications

Staying on top of your marketing activities is crucial, and Marketo notifications are your key allies in achieving that. These alerts provide immediate insights into critical events, ensuring your marketing operations run smoothly.

Accessing Marketo Notifications

There are two main ways to access Marketo notifications:

  • In-App Notifications: Simply click on the notification icon within the Marketo interface to view all your current notifications.
  • Email Notifications: To receive email alerts, click on the “Subscribe” button and select the notification types you’d like to receive updates on. You can enter multiple email addresses separated by commas for wider team awareness.

Understanding Common Notification Types

Marketo offers a variety of notification types to keep you informed:

  • Campaign Failure Notifications: These alerts warn you of errors within your smart campaigns. A campaign failure might be due to issues with campaign settings or the data involved. Taking swift action to address these errors can help ensure your campaigns run smoothly.
  • Idle Trigger Campaign Cleanup: These notifications prompt you to deactivate trigger smart campaigns that are no longer receiving any activity. This helps to declutter your Marketo workspace and maintain a focus on active campaigns.
  • CRM Sync Notifications: These act as safeguards against critical issues in your CRM integration (e.g., Salesforce or Microsoft Dynamics). They signal problems like incorrect permissions or temporary CRM sync outages, allowing you to address them promptly.
  • Engagement Notifications: These notifications come into play when people start disengaging with your content. They provide data on the number of individuals who are no longer responding to your marketing efforts. This valuable information can help you adapt your strategies to re-engage your audience.
  • LinkedIn Notifications: These alerts indicate when Marketo is unable to create a new audience login or push emails to LinkedIn. After unsuccessful attempts, you’ll receive a notification to investigate the issue.
  • Web Service Error Notifications: These notifications are related to your daily quota. You’ll receive an alert when you approach this limit, which resets at midnight Central Time. This helps you manage your resource usage effectively.

Troubleshooting Notification Errors

If you encounter error codes within your notifications, don’t fret! Marketo provides detailed information in the developer documentation. This documentation includes response codes, descriptions, and comments to help you understand and resolve the issues.
