Email Marketing & Templates Flashcards

What is 'HML' in the context of Pardot email templates?

Answer: Handlebars Merge Language

HML stands for Handlebars Merge Language, the newer variable tag system in Pardot that uses {{#if}} conditional logic and {{Recipient.FirstName}} syntax.

Which Pardot email metric measures the percentage of delivered emails that bounced?

Answer: Bounce Rate

Bounce Rate in Pardot represents the percentage of sent emails that could not be delivered (combining both hard and soft bounces).

In Pardot, what is the difference between a 'hard bounce' and a 'soft bounce'?

Answer: Hard bounce is permanent; soft bounce is temporary

A hard bounce indicates a permanent delivery failure (e.g., invalid address), while a soft bounce is a temporary issue (e.g., full inbox).

Which Pardot feature allows you to test two versions of a subject line to determine which performs better?

Answer: A/B Testing

Pardot's A/B testing feature for list emails lets you test two email variants (e.g., different subject lines) and send the winning version to the remaining recipients.

What does the Pardot 'Unsubscribe' link do when clicked by a prospect?

Answer: Sets the prospect's 'Opted Out' field to true

Clicking unsubscribe sets the prospect's 'Opted Out' field to true, preventing future marketing emails (but not operational emails).

How many recipients can a Pardot list email be sent to in a single send by default?

Answer: There is no default limit per send

Pardot does not impose a per-send recipient cap by default; account sending limits are governed by the Pardot edition and Salesforce contractual terms.

What is required to use a 'From Name' and 'From Address' from a specific user in a Pardot list email?

Answer: The user must have a verified sending domain

For email deliverability and authentication, the sending domain in the 'From Address' must be verified in Pardot's domain management settings.
