No, I am not a developer. WIll it be a difficult task to do it being a non-developer?

Yes. While it's not time-consuming (half-day of work, long as you don't want to do extra fancy filtering of objects), you need a developer to implement such a thing.

Hi Ankit,

We trigger actions for values in the ON24 custom object - for example we trigger Marketo scoring for ON24 engagement scores, and we trigger sales alerts for certain survey responses. We could populate a field using the same smart campaigns, but we haven't seen the need to do that yet.

I'd be interested to know how you solve this - edgy solution or other!

You can't copy a field from the CO to the Lead using Change Data Value.

I searched in your blog posts and nothing came up.

A link would help!

Unfortunately, the method no longer works thanks to changes in the June 2019 release.

I've migrated (backward) to my old method, which is somewhat like Jay's 2b, except we're not passing XML but executable JavaScript over SMTP. We already had this capability in place (I called it a "mailhook").

Hi @SanfordWhiteman , care to explain how to use that method you've built ("mailhook")?

We Send Alert with the CO contents (output via Velocity, of course) as a JSON array in the email body.

 

The Alert gets sent to our AWS SES receiver, which forwards to a Lambda function.

 

The Lambda parses the body to a live array, then calls the Marketo API to do rollups/updates on the Lead.
