Marketo templates have lots of extra "Marketo code" that make them less than ideal for use as a template in any other system.
While using a Marketo email template in your automated FeedOtter emails can be challenging, it is possible if necessary. Here are some simple steps to export your Marketo template.
If you're not using a Marketo template but have another email template you'd like to import for FeedOtter, check out this article to learn the requirements for submitting a custom template.
Log in to Marketo.
Go to Marketing Activities.
In the folder of your choosing, right-click and select New Local Asset > Email
Select the Marketo template you wish to use as the basis for your FeedOtter email.
Review the template. Create sections and blocks containing placeholder content for the Title, Image, Description, and CTA / Read More links and buttons you wish to have in your email.
When the email and placeholder content looks as desired Save and Approve the email.
THE MOST IMPORTANT PART: You must download the HTML file from the Marketing Activities Tree. Even though there is an option to download from the Design Studio and Edit Email screen, this will NOT give you the compiled version of the email, as there will be a lot of Marketo markup and additional Marketo variables that are not usable by FeedOtter.
In Marketing Activities, right-click the email you just created and select DOWNLOAD HTML.
Now you’re all set! Once you’ve downloaded the HTML file from the Marketing Activities tab, you can send it to the FeedOtter team to import into your account.
If you have any questions or concerns, feel free to email us at success@feedotter.com or submit a help ticket in your FeedOtter account.
