PathFactory is an intelligent B2B content experience platform used to create personalized content journeys for your audience. The global content team is primarily responsible for all the of the content within the PathFactory. Campaign managers work with other teams in marketing to organize and curate assets into tracks that are then disseminated for use in Marketo, about.gitlab.com, and other campaign-related channels.
PathFactory is used primarily for email nurture streams, landing pages, advertising, and virtual event follow-up.
Assets are bundled together (around 5-7) in a "content track" and shared as one link. Instead of sharing multiple links to individual assets, one link provides a curated content experience.
Sharing individual assets. It's meant to encourage a visitor to "binge" the content and self-nurture towards MQL. For sharing individual assets, please direct to the GitLab website.
Creating web pages. Pathfactory is a content library that curates experiences (think of it like Netflix for B2B content). Pathfactory is not a replacement for Marketo.
☝️ PathFactory ≠ Email Nurture. PathFactory is a tool that - instead of driving to a single asset - drives to a related-content experience.
Nurture is a channel to bring an individual to the content. Just like ads, social, website, etc. drive to CTAs, PathFactory link is the CTA - a powerful CTA because it can lead the individual down a "choose your own adventure" path of consumption which we track.
What are the differing goals of PathFactory and Marketo?
Can records be in Marketo nurture and PathFactory nurture at the same time? If not, is 1 prioritized over the other?
Yes, the PathFactory track acts as a supplement to the existing Marketo nurture instead of a replacement. It allows us to provide related content in a seamless way for the end-user (better than simply providing a PDF link and to improve "binging" of content).
PathFactory is not a single source of truth (SSoT) for all GitLab content, but rather content that has been activated in a marketing campaign.
Content Management System (CMS) - A content management system is a software application that can be used to manage the creation and modification of digital content.
Digital Asset Management (DAM) - Digital asset management (DAM) is a system that stores, shares and organizes digital assets in a central location.
PathFactory - Content experience software used to allow buyers to binge-consume content, remove friction, and create more qualified leads, faster.
PathFactory for Sales allows B2B sales teams to deliver and track personalized content to engage buyers and close deals.
The Marketing Operations team is responsible for managing access requests & provisioning the appropriate level of access for each role/function. PathFactory is not provisioned as a baseline entitlement. If you or your team require access, please open a Single Person Access Request issue and provide business reason why access is needed. For certain permissions or roles, you may be required to go through training before access is provisioned.
There are four levels of access - Admin, Author, Reporter, and Viewer - which are granted based on the persons' role and team function within GitLab. All access levels have the ability to view analtyics within the tool.
Admin access is granted to Marketing Operations and at times, other teams such as sales or business operations to manage integrations between systems.Author access allows user to build, edit and publish content tracks applying existing tags to the assets.Viewer access provides general visibility to content within PathFactory but does not allow end user to create or modify any of the content, tracks or tags. This level of access is granted for the general GitLab team member both within Marketing and elsewhere who have a business need to have access.Reporter access allows users to view all analytics pages within our instance of PathFactory.Sales User is anyone who has a valid email domain associated with our PathFactory instance, but who does not have a login. These users are not able to login to PathFactory, but they will be able to share any content tracks that Admins select on the Sales Configuration page.For more info on the capabilities of each role, see the knowledge base article.

PathFactory has no built-in audit log or trail for changes that are made within the content library (only that it was updated and by whom) or content tracks. It is critically important that everyone with Author role access to PathFactory follow the instructions and documentation outlined in this handbook. Any changes made to the content library or content tracks can have a negative impact on those content tracks which are tied to campaigns, reporting, and attribution.
For instance, if an asset is deleted from the content library and that asset exists in campaign-related content tracks, the user that visits that asset within that track will be redirected to about.gitlab.com, which has the following impacts:
The same impacts above can happen if an Author role makes changes to an existing content track without collaborating with the Author of that track.
Before making any of these impactful changes, please collaborate with the Author of a content track before making any changes or asking in #mktgops before deleting any assets in the content library.
If these changes are made, it is also critically important to input them to the PathFactory changelog so that we can correct them accordingly.
Periodically, significant changes are made or added to PathFactory and processes that affect overall data and reporting. As such we have a changelog. Everyone with Author access that is making significant changes in PathFactory should add their changes to the changelog with a linked issue and/or relevant PathFactory links.
Scenarios for adding to the changelog:
[LIVE] content track[LIVE] content track[LIVE] content track and whyInstructions
The content library is where all content uploaded to PathFactory is added and tagged for use in content tracks and experiences. An asset must exist in the content library first before it can be utilized in a PathFactory experience.
There are multiple types of PathFactory experiences that you can create under Campaign Tools:
Explore Page you create is built on top of an existing Target or Recommend Content Track.When adding assets to the content library, please ensure both the public and internal titles match the title of the asset. Do not add any extra prefixes to the asset title (ex: [BLOG] - Title of blog). Content types are already indicated by the content type field. Remove any extra SEO meta title information such as |GitLab that is appended to the title once PathFactory pulls in the information about the asset from the URL. Follow the editorial team's guidelines for formatting and case (sentence case).
When adding localized content to Pathfactory, enter the localized title and description in the Public Configuration section. This is what external viewers of the content will see. Under Internal Configuration, enter the language with the English asset name (example: [Japanese] GitLab in Action Overview Demo). Internal Configuration is only viewable internally in Pathfactory.
When creating and editing content tracks, please use the following naming convention to let others know the status of your track. These track names are not shown to the visitor of the track. Name the track so that other Author roles understand the use of your track. Add start and end dates for your campaign if relevant so it can be archived/deleted at a later date. Add persona in the track title if the track is for a specific persona. Add a GTM motion to the title if the track assets are focused toward a specific GTM motion.
[WIP] - [Campaign Name] - work in progress track; not live[LIVE] - [Campaign Name] - live track; traffic is flowing to track[ARCHIVED] - [Campaign Name] - arhived track; not in active use; traffic may or may not be flowing to trackTrack labels are used to document the channels that a content track is distributed on. These track labels are arbitrary and do not tie to any functionality within PathFactory. They are simply used to indicate to other Author roles within PathFactory how you intend to use your content track.

Track folders are set up by team as different teams within marketing use and distribute content tracks for various use cases. This helps to ensure that team members only make change to content tracks within their team folder.
Forms should not be served based on the amount of time spent in a track, but rather after a visitor consumes 2-3 pieces of content. When a visitor progresses to the next piece of content (after the initial 2-3), they'll be asked to complete a form.
When naming forms, please follow the naming convention:
[WIP] Language - Purpose - Marketo Form ID (example: [WIP] Korean - Contact Us - 2963)[LIVE] Language - Purpose - Marketo Form ID (example: [LIVE] Korean - Contact Us - 2963)[TEST] Language - Purpose - Marketo Form ID (example: [TEST] English - PF<>Bizible - 2715)Before creating a new content track, decide what type of content track (target vs. recommend) you want to create. Use the criteria below to decide the best option:
Target track
Recommended track
Campaign Tools in the top navigation bar and select the content track type you want to create (target or recommend).Create track button in the top right.Create Track.ci-awareAdd content button at the top right. A window will pop up with the content library. Use the sorting options at the top to quickly add content by topic, type, funnel stage, etc. PathFactory content tracks are meant to encourage content binging (visitors reading more than 1 asset to accelerate them in the pipeline by helping them self educate faster in one visit). So as best practice, have more than 1 asset in a track.custom URL slug for the content track. Follow the instructions for creating a custom URL slug for an asset.
No Index, No Follow.Links & Sharing set to default.External ID set to default.Cookie Consent before providing the approved content track link for live use.Promoters are the tools that allow visitors to navigate the Content Tracks and encourage them to view additional recommended content. Think of promoters as the guides through a content track; the promoters you use determine how and when content will be presented to visitors. Note the different functionality of each below. Before going live, you can test each promoter to find the one that works best for the goals of your PathFactory experience.
Header feature with the Sign Posts and Bottom Bar promoters.Header is used to add additional branding to your content track.Flow, Sign Posts, and Bottom Bar cannot be used together. Choose 1 of the 3.
End Promoter, Exit, and Inactivity promoters can be used in conjunction with either the Flow, Sign Posts, or Bottom Bar promoters.
Call-to-action (CTA) buttons encourage further engagement from your visitors within your Content Tracks. CTAs can be added to any Target or Recommend Content Track. These CTA buttons can link to either a form or a URL.
Create a CTA
CTAs under User Experience.Add CTA button.Watch a demo.WIP form as your CTA.utm_source=pathfactory&utm_medium=cta-name)Save.Form strategy is used on content tracks to collect data from unknown visitors. This is done by "gating" an asset within a track or by creating a track rule with an engagement threshold (example: spent at least 60 seconds in the track and viewed 2 assets). Not all content tracks will or should have form strategy turned on - it depends on the goal of your campaign. Form strategy should only be used when a track entry point is a direct link from a digital ad bypassing a webform or gated landing page. Please bypass from strategy entirely when linking to PathFactory from emails since we are sending to known users. In the event the recipients (known users) forwards the emails to unknown users, we chose to forgo capturing their information for better user experience.
Please Note: PathFactory activity is tied into the MQL scoring model. This means that you do not need to add form strategy to a content track if entry point is from a landing page.
GDPR Considerations: When using time-based form strategy, aim for at least 15-30 seconds in order for the user to have plenty of time to accept the cookie consent pop-up prior to filling out the form.

Do not select a form marked [WIP].Display Behavior, click the dropdown and choose the assets where you want the form to show. (Please Note: only assets that you have added to the content track will show in the dropdown. If you want the form to show on an asset that is not in the track, you will need to add it first.)10 seconds is the default selection.Show to unknown users. This prevents forms being shown to users who are already known in Marketo.

They are added to PathFactory using the Marketo script, but they should also include the PathFactory capture tags and custom parameters to capture additional information behind the form fill. If a new form is created, the PathFactory capture tag and custom paramters must be hardcoded in the script.
To request a new form to use in PathFactory, the form must first exist in Marketo. If one does not exist, first create an issue in the marketing ops project using the form_request.md template. Once the Marketo form is completed, then create an issue in the marketing ops project using the pathfactory_form.md template.
A Capture Tag is a snippet of code added to a Marketo form code itself. The Capture Tag sees the visitor’s email address on submitted form, and sends it to PathFactory. This allows PathFactory to associate the email address of a visitor to their engagement data; the visitor will then be a known visitor rather than anonymous.
We use external forms (added by External URL or Custom HTML generated from Marketo) in PathFactory. The information submitted in the form is sent directly to Marketo. In order for PathFactory to associate the submitted email address with the visitor’s engagement data, you must use a Capture Tag. This is what allows PathFactory to identify the individual as a known visitor.

PathFactory’s Microsite Builder enables marketers to display multiple types of Content Tracks within a custom-designed landing page or multi-page microsite with navigation. Microsites should be used when you want to educate users about a specific topic or topics. Microsites are NOT a catchall nor a replacement for other types of landing pages. If you are unsure whether a Microsite is right for your campaign, please free to reach out in the #mktgops slack channel.
Microsite builder expands on how Explore Pages are used and improves on Explore Pages with a more robust and advanced feature set.
With Microsite builder you can:
You can request a new microsite, or an update to an existing microsite via this issue.
Microsite templates:
[Template] Partner Custom MicrositeExplore pages allow your visitors to quickly view all content assets in a content track. Each explore page you create is built on top of an existing target or recommend content track.
Before you make an explore page ensure that you have already built a content track (target or recommended) that you will use as the base.
Explore from the left navigation.Create Explore Page button.Create Explore Page. Please follow the hierarchy of folders by dept. from the content tracks.Appearances. Select your desired appearance from the left navigation in your explore page under Page Settings.Page Settings, ensure that the Search Engine Directive is set to No Index, No Follow.Layout Settings.Content Settings.Why can’t I change the background color behind my cover image?
The cover background color only shows when the cover image is set to "Fixed Width." Because of this, the color selection square is only available when "Fixed Width" has been selected.
I don’t want this header on my Explore page, how do I get rid of it?
The header is applied to an Explore experience from the base content track you chose for the explore page. If you don’t want the header on your explore page, go to the base content track and turn the header off.
I don’t like the order that my content is arranged on the Explore page; how do I move my content around?
All changes to the content in an explore page has to be done in the base content track that the explore page is built from. This includes the order of your content, so if you want to reorder your content you have to do so in the base content track.
Can I create a custom hero for a header on my page?
Yes! You can add a custom hero image by navigating to Appearances Configuration and selecting the appearance you would like to modify. Then click on the Explore tab and select cover image for Hero layout and upoad your custom image under Hero Image. Make sure you click save on both the explore image upload and then again to save the appearance edits you have made (recommended size for a hero image is 1600x500).
Appearances allow you to control the look and feel of your content tracks. By creating different appearance groups you are able to quickly and easily apply different colors, fonts, and logos to content tracks without having to configure them each time you build a new track. Appearance settings allow you to control how your promoters look, select favicons for your tracks, and configure the appearance of your cookie consent messaging.
You are able to change the appearance of the following components of a content track:

Click on the A buttons to change the text size.Add Appearance.Appearance groups, you can apply this styling to any of your content tracks. Simply select the appearance group from the drop-down menu under Experience Settings.The Languages feature gives you complete control over the text displayed to visitors on your promoters within content tracks and on website promoters. This feature also allows you to create language groups for languages other than English, and to customize the text that will be displayed for those languages.
There is no native integration between Smartling and PathFactory. To create a new language configuration in PathFactory and submit the default English source text available in PathFactory's language configuration menu, you must create a CSV. You can only include/exclude columns for translation in CSV. See the help center article for more info on formatting CSV files to submit for translation.
Languages.Languages under User Experience.Add Language button in the top right or in the left sidebar under the other language configurations.Webhooks allow PathFactory to automatically connect with a third party system and send data every time someone visits or interacts with a PathFactory experience. There are 3 types of PathFactory webhooks (form capture, visitor session, visitor activity).
We currently use the Visitor Session Webhook to connect to Marketo. The Visitor session webhook is triggered off of session data. A visitor session begins when a visitor arrives on a content track and ends when that visitor has stopped engaging with content for thirty minutes. This webhook is triggered when a visitor session ends. This means that the webhook will trigger and send data to Marketo thirty minutes after the visitor has finished engaging with content. The data sent though this webhook provides an overview of the level of engagement the visitor had with your content track and the content assets inside them during the session.
PathFactory applies a score to a person based on how much time they spent viewing an asset by its content type. The PathFactory score is incorporated into the Behavior score in Marketo.

An iframe, or inline frame, is a tag <iframe> </iframe> that is used to embed an HTML document inside another HTML document on a website. The iframe HTML element can be used to insert content from another source, such as an advertisement, into a web page.
PathFactory uses iframes to serve content inside content tracks. Some web pages have restrictions that prevent their content from displaying in an iframe.

The PathFactory Google Chrome Extension will only de-anonymize users who view content sent in emails if the following is true:
Access protection protects content and events so only a select group of people can access it, based on them having a valid email address or email domain based on an allowed list. This allows you to share more confidential information with prospects, customers and employees in a content track or a VEX Event without the worry of someone viewing it who shouldn’t be.
