 A workflow challenge our marketing team keeps running into when managing campaigns in Salesforce Marketing Cloud is sourcing original quality Instagram media for use inside Content Builder. Many brands build their visual library primarily on Instagram but no longer have the source files saved locally once they are published. Instagram provides no built in export option which means those assets are inaccessible in original resolution through the platform itself. Low quality screenshots are not suitable for professional email campaigns or landing pages built in Content Builder. I found that indown mobi

 works well as a browser based solution that retrieves original quality files from public Instagram post URLs with no installation required. The retrieved files can then be uploaded directly into Marketing Cloud Content Builder as managed assets. Has anyone built a more automated flow using Marketing Cloud APIs that pulls Instagram media directly into Content Builder without manual retrieval as an intermediate step.

Our marketing team has been historically creating a new lead for each and every time a person "raises their hand" for a specific product -- like if they filled out a form online or attended a webinar or visited a both, etc. This has resulted in duplicate leads. We are working on correcting this, doing some de-duplication efforts, and making use of campaigns and campaign members to record what marketing interactions a person engaged with. This works but the sticking point is how do we track product interest

-- for example prospect was interested in Product A in January and Product B in July. Could be a current customer or someone we've never done business with before. 

My gut reaction is that we use opportunities for this -- every interest in a product is it's own opportunity record that they can work through all the stages -- however sometimes the sales person, account manager, BDR, or Solution Engineer finds out quickly that they are not actually qualified for that product and DQ the "lead" -- if we use opportunities like I was thinking -- we'd have a ton of "garbage" opportunities. 

We are migrating from Marketing Cloud Engagment (fka Exact-Target) TO Marketing Cloud Account Engagement (fka Pardot) -- so we are using this as an opportunity to clean house and fix processes 

Thoughts/Ideas on how to handle this? 

#Marketing Cloud

Hi all,

What is the best way to add a real-time countdown timer to In-App Messaging in Salesforce Marketing Cloud (MobilePush)

for flash sales/limited-time offers? 

Please suggest the modules of Salesforce Marketing cloud which consist of hands-on tasks instead of MCQs. 

Please lemme know if anyone found it. 

Not able to use CMS Image in HTML content block (for Landing Page).  Tried creating public URL with Content key, Org ID, Channel Id, and domain but still image is not loading on published page and preview page.   

I’m currently working on Salesforce Marketing Cloud Next in a sandbox environment and I’m trying to understand the best approach for moving the entire setup and configuration to a UAT environment.    My questions are:

• Can this be automated using VS Code + Salesforce CLI / metadata deployment?

• Which types of configurations and assets can be migrated automatically, and which ones need to be recreated manually?

• Are there any best practices for promoting configurations from sandbox → UAT → production in Marketing Cloud Next?

I’d also love to hear how you approached this in real projects and what tools or processes you used for deployment and version control.

Thanks!
