Hello, I was working with a team which needed to use the Marketo API
like an email marketing tool. The idea was to have a campaign which
would send an email whenever it was run. The content of the email being
sent could be changed whenever needed. As a result, I used the marketo
API for E-mails and campaigns and added some functionality to the mrkt
gem. These are the changes done:

  1. Get an email's information using it's ID
  2. Update an email's subject
  3. Update the content of an email
  4. Add code to schedule a campaign (doesn't work as expected, though)

The trouble is that currently scheduling a campaign using this code does
not run the campaign when needed, it' always 5 minutes after the request
is sent to Marketo (even though we're sending it in the format that Marketo
needs it in.) Or perhaps I've made a mistake. Please feel free to reject the
changes and let me know what I need to add/remove/change. I will really
appreciate your feedback on the pull request. Thanks!

This commit adds a sample code to access Marketo emails by ID and name.
It also has a method to be able to access an email's content.
IMPORTANT: while sending data to update email, make sure the content
type is multipart/form-data
- add code to update emai subject
- add a new error class for code 702 (no data found)
- add spec for campaign schedule and email

Apologies about the RSpec suite failing in the CI build. Could you suggest anything? Sending a hash in the Marketo API URL works for me (I had run the RSpec suite before pushing the changes)

Thanks for the changes @prachi-mantri. The issue is that you need to URL encode the subject parameter if you want to send over a JSON parameter like that.
