I’m seeing more and more people write about Customer Insights Journeys and Customer Insights Data which is fantastic! So many great posts with a lot more to add in over the past few weeks. If you are writing content (or thinking about it), keep it coming!

As always, if you spot anything you think would be worth a mention, just let me know by emailing [email protected]. Always good to know of others posting about D365 Marketing or if you see anything else other marketers should know about.

Now let’s get on with the newsletter!

Real-time form submission failed with "Error after target entity update from submission"

JAKE CHEN

Last week I wrote about resolving an error creating records from Realtime Marketing Forms. This past weekend I noticed a post from Jake Chen that covers a different error, the ‘Error after target entity update from submission’ one. Check out Jake’s post for more information (and look out for one coming soon from me for a script you can use to make things a bit prettier for the submitter!). Jake is on fire right now with a ton of awesome content!

PAULINE KOLDE

Pauline has been working more on her MarTech March blog series, with Parts 2 and 3 ready to go.

Use the button below to get to all three of the series and bookmark for upcoming ones too!

The Art of Reply-To

RENÉE VAN DER WALT

Another great post from Renée, all about the art of Reply-To, with three reasons why you should use a good reply-to email address in your email marketing, and definitely should stay away from those ‘no-reply’ email addresses. It might be something you’ve not put much thought in to, but she has, and shared her thoughts and insights. Great post Renée!

Why you should think twice before you respond to link clicks in journeys

JAKE CHEN

Another great post from Jake, which explains why using link clicks in journeys isn’t always the best idea, reviewing the ways in which your emails can get clicks from more than just the people you send them to. If you aren’t sure what this even means, this is definitely a post to check out. Once you’ve read that, time for another review (if you’ve not done so already) of Pauline Kolde’s recent post where she shows how to use a series tile that might help circumvent some of these challenges.

If there are any upcoming events relating to Marketing, they will go here!

ColorCloud Hamburg

COLORCLOUD

I’ve mentioned this event before, but seeing it mentioned more and more, and it looks like it’s going to be an awesome event! If you can get to Hamburg, Germany on April 18th and 19th, this might be an event for you. So many fantastic sessions to get to.

Other Marketing content you might find useful

LinkedIn profile data in Microsoft profile card services

LINKEDIN

I thought this was an interesting article from LinkedIn that also impacts Microsoft 365 applications like Teams, Outlook and Windows. It specifically shows how to change your own privacy settings to determine if your profile can be previewed in Microsoft applications. So even if you don’t care about your own settings, know that others do, so this could be a reason you aren’t able to see LinkedIn profile information if you are using any of those applications as an organisation.

The Impact of Google & Yahoo Sender Requirements on European Businesses

DMARCIAN

I love the DMARCIAN website, full of awesome tools and resources, plus, a great blog! This article looks at the impact of the recent changes from Google & Yahoo on sender requirements and covers the potential impacts on European businesses, addressing the complications of implementing DMARC across the European email ecosystem. It’s a very interesting article.
