Amey Holden and I have our next webinar coming up which will be about the November release, hope to see you there! There are also a few new posts from me, along with a different approach for formatting the date/time for your sessions on an Event Registration form.
As always, if you spot anything you think would be worth a mention, just let me know by sending a message via the online contact form using the navigation link above. 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!

Email Validation Before Submitting Realtime Marketing Forms Using Data8
I’ve written about Data8 a few times now (again, not getting paid by them, I just love their service offerings), especially when it comes to how we can do checks on Realtime Marketing forms BEFORE they get submitted in to our database. On the last one, I wrote about doing address auto populate to try and make sure the information provided by those submitting forms is as clean as possible. What about doing the same for email addresses? I checked out the web services page from Data8 to see what other API’s they had, and was happy to see you could check to see if an email address is valid, or check if it is valid and suggest possible corrections too. So I dug in and have a variety of script examples you can use on a Realtime marketing form. See what you think!
Dynamic One Off Marketing Messages For Your Realtime Emails
If you work for yourself or are part of a very small team managing submissions from your Realtime Marketing forms, things come up, holidays or sick leave happen and sometimes you know there could be delays in following up with people who’ve sent a request via one of your forms. Wouldn’t it be great if you had a quick way to add a one time message to your auto responder emails that go out after a form submission is received? Well, for me, YES that is what I wanted. So this post comes from my own need, and the simple one off marketing messages functionality was born. Hope this helps someone out there wanting the same! Take a look and see if it could help you too.
Why Localized Dates and Times Matter in Event Registration
Another post (shared my own previously) about how you can change the formatting of your event sessions on an Event Registration form. This one is from Peter Krause, Principal Solution Architect FastTrack at Microsoft. This gives you a way to form at the information based on the browser settings of the person submitting the form, so another option should you need it!
