Context

Now, SAP Marketing Cloud provides you the possibility to integrate with Return Path. The service of Return Path will provide you

• email previews for different devices and email clients


• additional feedback on the spam rating for your email

Both information can be viewed in SAP Marketing Cloud directly.
With the integration of Return Path on your system, the information will be out-of-the-box available in the Content Studio app on the new tab "Spam Filer and Email Previews".

Here you can gather valuable information regarding the spam ratings of your dedicated email.


Furthermore, you can see the email previews for different devices and email clients:



This function is available if you have signed a separate contract with the external service provider Return Path. To do so, please contact Return Path via SAP@returnpath.com for a contract on spam filter check and email previews.

 

How to setup in SAP Marketing Cloud

1. Request an Account from Return Path.

Once Return Path has created the account, you receive the following information:

• API account name


• Password for this account


• Company ID

2. Create an incident for the SAP component CEC-MKT-MEM.

Enter the following information:

• Return Path account name (may look like a GUID)


• Acount password
