Marketo enables marketing users to leverage their SFDC Opportunity data to better target, segment and communicate with prospects and customers. Marketo has only read access to the SFDC opportunity object. It is best practice to only sync the SFDC opportunity fields you need and you can sync standard and custom fields. You should not change the label of a field in SFDC after it is synced, since Marketo will not recognize the change. Best practice is to disable the sync to Marketo when creating a new field that you are going to sync and then triple check the field name before re-enabling the sync. Once a field is synced it cannot be removed or hidden.

 

 

The following are the fields are necessary to have a successful integration and enable you to utilize all of Marketo’s reporting capabilities:

 

 

Account Name

Amount

Close Date

Created By
