     The Munchkin API function associateLead is magical and underused. It's key to synchronizing certain 3rd-party data with your Marketo database, and bizarrely enough was the first Marketo feature I ever used (well before understanding anything about campaigns and flows!).

     I have a post set to publish re: tracking engagement with non-Marketo emails, and since that post concentrates on the browser side (how to use specialized tokens in link URLs to associate leads, even when emails are sent via other ESPs) I decided to dedicate a post to how you generate those tokens.
