Inline CSS Support NOTE: While text styling such as font size, color, and alignment are not directly supported, you can still specify inline CSS in the content. For example, to change the font size, you can use <span style="font-size: 20px;">Your Text Here</span>. However, please note that not all email clients may render inline CSS consistently, so it’s advisable to test the email across different clients to ensure the desired appearance.
If you are interested in formatting that is unsupported or not in the list above, please drop us a message, and we can look into how Mary can learn new formatting skills.

Handling Images

Images are supported with Text tokens and directly uploaded into your Marketo assets. Note that The Image token is not supported.

Token naming convention

To tell Mary to process image properly, make sure to have “image-URL” in the name of the tokens explicitly, for example
  • Header-image-URL
  • Banner-image-URL
  • Footer-image-URL

Add images

There are two ways to fill out images in your token
  • Add image URL
    • Make sure the image URL is publicly accessible
  • Embed image
    • You can directly embed an image in the image URL

Specify image dimensions

Mary will follow the image dimensions in the token and transform the image with the dimensions before uploading the image.

Specify File name

By default, Mary uploads images in Marketo following this rule.
  • Public URL is provided
  • Embeded image is provided
    • Mary will upload the image with this naming convention
      • <Program ID>_<Token name>_<Random ID>.png
      • For example) 1131_Image-URL2_V3FKDPDA.png
This is annoying to manage randomly created images in your Marketo assets. Mary supports a specific file name by adding File name: <your managed file name>. Then Mary will follow with the file name instead of the default behavior above.
