[SalesForce] Marketing Cloud Global Variable – use with AMPscript

I want to setup a global variable that could be used across the whole Marketing Cloud.
For example key/passphrase value for encryption functions. So if the key changes than I can change it just in one place.

Does Marketing Cloud supports something like this? Thank you.

Consider setting up a data extension with key-value pairs and then using ampscript function to do query on data extension to return desired value.

[SalesForce] Encrypting URL parameters with AMPscript

Your solution should be fairly straight forward.

When you are creating the link in the email, use URLencode()

href="%%=URLencode(Concat('www.whatever.com/','@example'))=%%"

Give that a shot.

Finally I was able to fix this, thanks Kelly for your tip. The solution is detailed next.

%%[SET @Parameterencoded = URLencode(@parameter,1,1)]%%

%%[SET @finalURL = Concat("www.whatever.com/?fieldname=",@Parameterencoded)]%%

I had to do it like this because encoding the string www.whatever.com/?fieldname= was changing the = and then the final URL was not working.

[SalesForce] Marketing Cloud logs and error logs

Error log access used to exist for certain SFMC Partners. You're stuck getting any run-time error details from SFMC Support now.

In my opinion, SF could save themselves a lot of support money by providing tools for their customers to debug their own configurations. Rolling the old ExactTarget Support into the Salesforce infrastructure was a huge step backwards and is a constant frustration for those of us supporting multiple large/complex SFMC clients.
