Issue Customers may run into limitations with Webhook providers or other third party REST services that require their fields are an integer type field.  This may present issues with those values being inputted to Marketo (and other systems) accurately if a record has a value outside of the integer value limitation range: -2147483647 to 2147483647   Environment Marketo/Third Party REST/Webhook Providers Solution There is no way to increase/modify the integer value limitations on the Marketo side.  This is not a Marketo product limitation, it's the defined constraints of Integer data types. If you're running into issues with values from a third party/webhook provider falling outside of the limitation range, this will present issues with the field value being accurately logged in Marketo. In this scenario, it's worth checking with the third party/webhook provider to see if they have any flexibility around which field types they can allow (for example, String or Float type fields have less limitations and will allow for larger or smaller numbers outside of the -2147483647 to 2147483647 range). For a full overview of Marketo field limitations, you can visit the below article: Marketo Field Limits by Field Type

Issue You create a new field on the Lead and Contact objects in SFDC and two fields are created in Marketo, one mapped to Lead and the other mapped to Contact.     Solution You will see this behavior if the an SFDC field is created on two objects across more than one sync cycle, one before a sync cycle starts and the other one during or after the sync cycle completes. To ensure both the lead and contact show up mapped to the same custom field Marketo, do the following Disable the global sync in Marketo. (Admin > Salesforce) Create the field on your desired objects in SFDC.  Make sure they both have the same API name. Re-enable the global sync in Marketo, allowing the field in both objects to sync down to Marketo at the same time. If you find yourself with multiple fields in Marketo after the sync, contact Marketo Support to have the fields merged or remapped as necessary.

Issue Issue Description API Only user is not appearing when creating a service in [Admin > LaunchPoint]     Solution Issue Resolution It is highly likely that the reason why the API user was not appearing because it did not have "API Only" ticked. This can be checked in [Admin > Users & Roles > User > Edit User]. However, this cannot be modified once the API user is created, so in order for the API user to appear in LaunchPoint, "API Only" must be ticked when the API user is created.    Reference: Create an API Only User Role   Who This Solution Applies To Admin users

Issue What BCC options are there for email sends? Solution Marketo support can enable BCC on request.  If an email address is to be BCC'd on a batch email send, they'll get 1 BCC for every 1 email Marketo sends. (10k email sends = 10k BCC emails). This can be useful for archiving and compliance purposes, but should not be used for simple campaign confirmation. If you just want to make sure the email went out as scheduled, the easiest way is to create yourself as record in the database, and include yourself in the batch send. Only one BCC address is supported at this time, if multiple BCC recipients are required then it is recommended to create an alias which will forward the messages. This setting is applied to the entire instance, and will affect all emails sends from all Campaigns and Programs while enabled.  Every email sent while this feature is enabled will result in a corresponding BCC email. CAUTION: Dedicated email address setup for the BCC email traffic must be able to handle high volumes of email. Discuss with your IT Team or email service provider to verify their Email Server can handle the estimated volume of incoming email. If the Email Server is not well equipped this feature can cause your Email Server to backlog, become unavailable temporarily, or reject the BCC emails. If the request is for a single email send, we recommend using the following CC process: Email CC | Adobe Marketo Engage

  Overview SSO Authentication Updating SSO Credentials Tips SSO Only Login Wait to disable the existing certificate Overview Marketo’s Single Sign On (SSO) feature allows your company to use your own company’s SSO service to authenticate your login into your Marketo instance. Your initial setup of the SSO is covered in the documentation here.   You may need to change your SSO authentication settings after the initial setup. This document will show you the process on how to do so.     SSO Authentication The Identity Provider (IdP) you use will provide you with your SSO authentication credentials and security certificate. Marketo uses this information to validate your login from your IdP, so these credentials come from your IdP.     Updating SSO Credentials Once you have retrieved the new security certificate, you can enter it into Marketo.   1. Under Admin click on Single Sign-On. 2. Select Edit in the SAML Settings 3. Enter your Issuer ID, Entity ID, select the User ID Location and click Browse. 4. Select your Identity Provider Certificate file. 5. Click Save. Tips There are a couple things to watch out for when changing your SSO certificate. Here’s a couple tips to avoid trouble along the way.     SSO Only Login If your company uses SSO for login, you’ll have an optional setting to restrict login access to your Marketo instance to SSO logins only. This prevents users from logging in directly, forcing the use of SSO.   You can check for this setting under Admin > Login Settings   These settings do allow the creation of a special User Role that can bypass the SSO restriction. However, sometimes as people come and go within the company, the users enabled with that User Role could no longer be available.   TIP: Before changing your SSO certificate, create a new user utilizing this User Role that bypasses the SSO requirement. If something goes wrong while setting up the new certificate, you’ll be glad you have a back door into the Marketo instance!   Wait to disable the existing certificate Your IdP will issue a new certificate, but what if something goes wrong while entering the new information into Marketo?   TIP: Get the new certificate and set it up in Marketo before you fully disable the existing certificate within your IdP on their side. If something happens to the new certificate, you’ll be glad you have the do-over available and can switch back to the existing certificate that still works!

Issue After going through a modification of a text field type from 'Text' to 'String', the field is no longer available as a filter for smartlists. Don't worry, the field is not gone - it is just temporarly unavailable. Solution Changing the field type from one type to another is a database intensive operation and in some cases where the field values are widely populated across your database records, this can cause the filter to be unavailable until the operation is completed in full. The time it takes for the field filter to become available may vary and it can take up to ~30 hours sometimes until the field filter is available again after the type of the field has been changed.

Issue Executing a GET API call to retrieve a list of available activity types in the target instance using the '/rest/v1/activities/types.json' endpoint, resolves with an unexpected attribute name for a field with the display name ID in the context of Marketo Custom Objects. An example of that may be a Marketo Custom Object with the following name: '3 to be', as can be shown in the image below: One of the '3 to be' Marketo custom object fields name is 'ID'. (highlighted in red). When performing a GET API call using the '/rest/v1/activities/types.json' endpoint, you will be getting a list of available activity types in the target instance, along with associated metadata of each type, however for a Marketo custom object with an ID field name, you may see it returns back with a slightly different name, in this case, it would be returning the following output for my test Marketo Custom Object activity: { "id": 100019, "name": "Add to 3 to be", "primaryAttribute": { "name": "3 to be ObjRef", "dataType": "integer" }, "attributes": [ { "name": "3 To Be Person Id", "dataType": "integer" }, { "name": "ID (3)", "dataType": "string" }, { "name": "Linkfield4", "dataType": "string" } ] } ], Here's an image of what it may look like when making the call using POSTMAN: In fact, the character in the brackets next to the ID field represents the very first character of your Marketo Custom Object name.    Environment Customers who have Marketo Custom Objects where one of the custom object fields is named 'ID'. Solution If this is interrupting your business, you may want to select a different name for the ID field under your Marketo Custom Object. (ie. ID number, Transaction ID etc.) Root Cause This behavior is expected and is a result of the 'ID' field being a unique field in the context of Marketo custom objects world and while it may be possible to create a Marketo Custom Object field with the name 'ID', it may be better to give it a distinct name that will be better describing what kind of ID field it is.

Issue When editing the expiration date for a user in Admin by completely removing the expiration date set to null and clicking save. The change is not saved, and the expiration date remain. Environment Expired Date for user Expiration Date Changing the expire date to never in Admin   Solution There are two options: 1. Change the expiration date to a date in the future.  2. Delete the user in Admin and recreate the user again and set the expiration to never.  *Please note that if option 2 is selected, the history of the user is will be lost and this cannot be retrieved.

Issue What type of HTTP Redirect Rules does Marketo use when you setup a redirect rule in Admin > Landing Pages?     Solution Internal Pages such as landing pages hosted on Marketo will use a HTTP 301 Redirect External pages & non landing page URL's (when using "non-Marketo landing page") used in the redirect rule will utilize a HTTP 302 Redirect: Branding links do not use an HTTP Redirect and use a script-based redirect on the Branded links page. Example: Email branding link - http://go.mybranddomain.com/ABCDEFIlB0ETg0X063WLL1 is a Marketo hosted page that utilizes a script to redirect & point to http://www.thetargeturlinanemail.com
