From "Lead" to "Person"

Yoav Guttman Dec 7, 2017 7:21 AM

Am I the only one who missed the memo on Marketo changing "Lead" with "Person/People"? All of sudden Lead Score is called Person Score... Am I the last one to this party?

Where/when was this communicated?

Hey Yoav - I believe they rolled this out starting 2016 for new instances of Marketo. If you've recently renewed your license, that might be why you're seeing this change.

Leads = People Now?

    However, when I use the trigger "score is changed" the dropdown menu options are Lead Score, Behavior Score, and Demographic Score. Is that a glip on Marketo?

      It was a poor job of find & replace for the whole changeover.

      The field has to still be accessible as Lead Score: it cannot be changed permanently, because it can appear in Velocity tokens (not to mention plain Lead, er, Person tokens).

        Hi Sanford - does this change not affect tokens? So we'd still be OK to use lead.firstname for example? It hasn't changed to person.firstname has it?!

        Don't worry, you still use the same token names (that's why it can't be a complete change, it would be a backward compatibility disaster).
