"Person is Pushed to MKTO" Trigger

We are relatively new to Salesforce, and up until now had never had a sync with our CRM. In re-setting up some of my nurture campaigns, I'm wondering if I should include the "Person is Pushed to MKTO" as a trigger. May I assume that these are leads/contacts created in Salesforce that are NOT already in MKTO?

No, this trigger is not relevant to SFDC sync. It logs the use of a separate Marketo-specific API.

Hi Sanford,

I just posted a question relating to this on another post (What exactly is the "Lead Pushed to Marketo" trigger on a Smart List?), but since this post is much more recent, I'm posting the same question here...

Is it also possible to use the "Lead is Pushed to Marketo" trigger for updates to existing Marketo Leads/Contacts, or does it only trigger based on net new Lead creation?

Thanks!

Hi Timo,

AFAIK, the trigger only fires on lead insertion. For udpates, you will have to use Data Value Changes triggers.

Nope, it will fire on any Push Lead event, even for existing leads with no change in values/program.

Re: "Person is Pushed to MKTO" Trigger

So I tested this today with a Rest API update from a web form, and unfortunately the "Person Pushed to Marketo" trigger doesn't seem to work. I tested the same campaign with two different Smart List filters. For the first version, I used the "Person is Created" and "Data Value Changes" triggers, and I selected "Web service API" as the source. For the second version I used only the "Person Pushed to Marketo" trigger, and the person was not added to the campaign.

I'm wondering if there is anything else that I need to include in the REST API call to make this work? 

Thanks!

Are you seeing the Person Pushed... in the Activity Log? Can you show the ActLog detail?

The Push Lead endpoint is designed to trigger every time -- wouldn't be useful otherwise.
