Summary Smart campaign utilizing the 'Fills Out Facebook Lead Ads Form' trigger does not generate any results for people created as a result of filling out a Facebook Lead Ads form. Issue Smart campaigns utilizing the 'Fills Out Facebook Lead Ads Form' Trigger does not trigger for people created as a result of filling out a Facebook Lead Ads form. Solution If you have Workspaces and Partitions set up on your instance, it is important to remember that people created in the database as a result of filling out Facebook Lead Ads form, will be automatically created in your Default partition per design.  In a scenario where a trigger campaign is hosted under a workspace that does not have the appropriate visibility to your default partition - the person filling out the Facebook Lead Ad form would not be triggering the campaign.    Solution Make sure your trigger campaign lives under workspace which has visibility over the default person partition. To check the workspace configuration go to Admin > Workspaces & Partitions and make sure your default partition is assigned to the workspace where your trigger campaign lives under.  Root Cause New people which are being created in Marketo as a result of filling out a Facebook Lead Ads Form will be created by default in the Default lead partition. Environment Customers who have Workspaces and Partitions set up in their instance. Customers who have set up the Facebook Lead Ads integration and have utilized the  'Fills Out Facebook Lead Ads Form' Trigger

Issue Leads in a GoToWebinar event program have a "registration error" status. Solution If this is affecting all new leads registering for the webinar:  This is caused by Marketo losing connection with the GoToWebinar service.  To resolve this Go to Admin > Launchpoint. Open the GoToWebinar service. Re-enter your GoToWebinar credentials. Once this is done, you can go back to the webinar program and change the status of the affected leads from "Registration Error" to "Registered." If this is affecting only specific leads registering for the webinar:  Check the name, email, company, and job title fields for any special characters. GoToWebinar often doesn't allow special characters and will throw an error.

Summary Unable to update Person Source as expected for records created with the LinkedIn Lead Gen Forms and Facebook Lead Ads integrations. Issue New records created through LinkedIn Lead Gen forms as well as Facebook Lead Ads results in the records not updating the Person Source field as expected.  Solution Person Source may be set to block updates to the field as noted in the example for Block Updates to a Field - Marketo Docs - Product Documentation.  To resolve the issue ensure the field is not set to block updates for the desired update method.  Alternatively the Person Source values populated by the integrations can be kept and expected values can be updated to include these sources.  Root Cause The LinkedIn Lead Gen Forms and Facebook Lead Ads integrations automatically update the Person Source to preset values when a new record is created in Marketo through the integrations. Blocking field updates to the field may prevent the value from changing to pre-configured values as a value already exist for the integration created records.  Environment LinkedIn Lead Gen Forms Facebook Lead Ads

Issue You are experiencing slow processing of campaigns, smart lists, and reports.     Solution There are three key components that can slow down an instance: Number of trigger campaigns: Trigger campaigns are always on, always listening.  If there are 50 campaigns triggering at the same time, all the 50 triggers will be in queue, slowing down your processing and routing inside Marketo. Solution: Reduce the number of Triggers. Convert some of the triggers to batches: Batches also run all the flow steps for every lead at once, instead of serially, which reduces total processing time.   Complexity of smart lists: The more complex a smart list, the harder it is for the system to figure it out, which increases backend processing and even creates campaign failures from timeouts. Solution: Reduce the number of nested smart lists called in a smart list. Whenever you ask Marketo to call another Smart List, it has to wait until all of the other smart lists finish, before putting together the final counts. Instead of Marketo looking for the list and running it, just put the filters in the trigger itself.   Volume of Leads: With regular cleaning and good systems design, it is fairly easy to keep your system running fast. Reduce the number of leads that can flow through with filters. Clean up the inactive leads at regular intervals.

Issue When attempting to import an audience through the Facebook Custom Audience integration an error is received with a variation of the following error text: "error_code": 1870068, "error_summary": "Contains a Disabled Audience", "error_message": "Contains a Disabled Audience: This ad set was paused because it contains at least one audience that was disabled. Disabled audiences were shared by accounts that are no longer active. To fix this issue, remove the affected audiences: <affected_audience_names>" Solution Facebook allows for audiences to be shared across multiple business managers. In the past, if one business manager was disabled after sharing an audience, the remaining mangers would still have access to that shared audience. Facebook made a policy change December 11th, 2018 which has removed the ability to access those shared audiences owned by disabled accounts.       To resolve this error, the disabled account must be reinstated by Facebook or an alternate audience with an active Facebook account must be chosen     Who This Solution Applies To Clients Utilizing Facebook Custom Audiences

Use the following workaround for your integration. Disable SSO for the webinar service so that a user with login and password can be used in the Marketo Launchpoint service.  Create the integration user in the webinar provider and complete the integration Re-enable SSO for your webinar service after the webinar is over.   Who This Solution Applies To Clients leveraging SSO for Launchpoint services

Issue A webhook that looks to be structured the same as other functioning webhooks is failing with HTTP Error 400: Bad URL request. Solution A 400 error message usually means that the request was malformed. In other words, the data stream sent by the client to the server wasn't formatted in the exact way required by the receiving service.  You will need to work with the service you are trying to reach to figure out the exact cause of the error with the webhook.

Issue Description You are receiving this error from your GoToWebinar Launchpoint Service: API Error: Authentication succeeded, but access to the requested resource is denied. This error can occur either in Launchpoint Tab's Service details in Admin or when trying to Refresh an Event Program and selecting the service in the drop down menu. Issue Resolution This error "API Error: Authentication succeeded, but access to the requested resource is denied." is a response from GoToWebinar when Marketo sends an API Call to retrieve the Webinar Meeting details. What is the main cause of this? This is mainly a licensing issue with the Account Credentials specified in the Launchpoint service. The GoToWebinar account does not have a GoToWebinar License and therefore, the account has successfully "Authenticated" and the Requested resource (GoToWebinar Meeting Details) were denied as it does not have access to GoToWebinar features. How to check if you have a license? Login into the home page of GoToWebinar with the account credentials used in the Launchpoint Service and check if GoToWebinar Product is selectable. (if GTW is not selectable then the account does not have a product license) Speak to your GoToWebinar Account Admin if you are using a corporate account and ensure that it has a GoToWebinar License. Contact the GoToWebinar's Support Team Other Causes Other reasons this may have occurred is that a Trial account for GoToWebinar was used and the trial has expired. You may be using a login under a corporate account that does not have the license or was removed. - Check with your GoToWebinar Admin for more details Who This Solution Applies To GoToWebinar Launchpoint Users Is this article helpful ?
