A log of all Pardot system email notifications can be found under Administration > System Emails.  This module is only visible to Administrator users (more information on roles is available in What roles should I select for my users?).

What data is available?

Overview

For security reasons and to make email sending even faster, we have changed the way we populate variable tags and track links in emails.

**Any URLs that are inserted via variable tag alone will no longer be tracked.**

With Competitor Monitoring, you can track how well your site stacks up against your competitors in general SEO terms. The data includes the number of indexed pages, the number of inbound links, and the Alexa Rating. If a Pardot user goes to the Search Marketing screen without having any competitors added in their account, the system will be triggered to automatically generate the Pardot user’s company as a competitor entry for comparison purposes. The competitor creation will be attributed to the first user that visits the Search Marketing module.
