# Marketo Auto-Activate Smart Campaigns

<Update label="Feb 2026">
  ## Now Live!

  Smart campaign activation is now live! To add smart campaign activation to your list upload flow, [***reach out to support or to your allGood engineers via slack to set it up!***](mailto:support@allgoodhq.com)
</Update>

Mary can automate more than just the list upload itself. When cloning a new program for your lists, smart campaigns still need to be activated. That extra step is no longer manual—Mary can now automatically complete that task for you!

## How It Works

After cloning the new program (or identifying your existing program) that is being used for list upload, Mary will check it for all smart campaigns contained in the program whose names start with the prefix `[AUTO]` and activate them.

## Setup

There are two things that you must setup in Marketo such that Mary can properly activate the smart campaign.

<Steps>
  <Step title="Verify">
    You need to confirm that the Smart Campaigns are valid for activation in Marketo.

    A valid smart campaign 

    * ... is a Trigger Smart Campaign *(i.e. has at least one trigger in the Smart List)*
    * ... has at least one flow step

    <Warning>
      If you add attempt to activate a smart campaign that isn't valid, **Mary** will return an error indicating which smart campaign(s) she was not able to activate and why.

      In that case you will have to go into Marketo and manually fix the smart campaign.
    </Warning>
  </Step>

  <Step title="Select Auto-Campaigns">
    Depending on your program, you might not want to automatically activate all smart campaigns in the program. To resolve this ambiguity, you must add the prefix `[AUTO]` to the name of any triggered smart campaign you want Mary to activate.
  </Step>

  <Step title="Presto!">
    That's all! Once the feature is enabled by the allGood team for your environment, Mary will be able to activate your smart campaigns after cloning the program with the automatic markers.
