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 How to confirm ZoomInfo integration is working with Marketo.   Solution First, follow the installation guide: http://help.zoominfo.com/18441-formcomplete/installation-guide#product-overview To check if its working: Go to Marketing Activities. Navigate to the folder and then click on the Smart Campaign that runs your Form Complete. From the Smart Campaign, click the top navigation menu item, “Results”. Find the most recent “Call Webhook” activity type and double click it. The Activity Details window will pop-up (check your pop-up blocker if it does not).   Inside this window will be what you need to diagnose most problems. The easiest way to know if it worked or did not is that the Response Code should read: 200. This means it was successful in terms of sending and receiving the response in a way that the API accepted it. Anything other than 200 you should lookup with a Google search and investigate. Finally, go to the Lead  Database, and in the quick find search for the unique contact record that submitted the form to find the record that went through the Form Complete Webhook. Double click the right record from the view and that person record will load up. From the top navigation click, “Info” and scroll down till you see the custom fields you created in Step 1 (above). You should see the fields populated if all of the steps were completed successfully.   Who This Solution Applies To Customers using the ZoomInfo Integration

Summary Leads/Forms are not appearing in Marketo but are appearing in Linkedin Issue Troubleshooting LinkedIn Lead Gen Forms issues - Leads/ Forms are not appearing in Marketo but are appearing in LinkedIn Solution Most of the time this issue is caused by insufficient permissions for the user specified in the LaunchPoint Service under "Admin > LaunchPoint." This article mentions what is required for LinkedIn lead gen forms to work on LinkedIn for the user, this is not for Marketo but it makes a great reference. https://www.linkedin.com/help/lms/answer/79635  For Marketo, we require full permissions for the integration to work.  - Campaign Manager OR Account Manager (The integration user will only be able to have one of these permissions) - Company Page Admin  - Lead Gen Forms Manager  Ensure that the user has all 3 permissions. If you made some changes to the permission, re-authorize LaunchPoint service and, try again. I would also recommend deleting and re-creating the LaunchPoint service. It is recommended every time you make changes to the permission so that the connection works without any issue. You could see the form in Marketo after this step.   If any one of the permissions is added later, I recommend creating a test lead on the form referring the document - https://www.linkedin.com/help/lms/answer/94217. The leads that fill out the form after this step would be found on Marketo. You could List Import the other leads that filled out the form.  If you are still facing the issue after verifying the above steps, please raise a support ticket with Marketo. We could verify whether the issue is with Marketo or the Integration itself.

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

Issue Webinar integration is giving an error "Invalid Username or Password" during setup, even though the username and password are correct. The webinar provider uses your Single Sign-On (SSO) provider for login.     Solution Marketo is not able to access the SSO provider and will not be able to log into the service if SSO is used. 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 The webhook error type "The remote server's SSL certificate or SSH fingerprint was rejected" occurs when the SSL certificate is being used on the main domain and not Sub-domains.     Solution Check the URL in Admin > Webhooks Click on the webhook in the right corner. For example, if the URL is, https://onlineservices.test.marketo.com, the certificate needs to be valid on *.test.marketo.com and not just *.Marketo.com. Check this by verifying the certificate on "https://www.sslshopper.com" and all the certificates will be listed as Subject Alternative Name's if the certificate is valid on the sub-domains. For example: For Google.com "https://www.sslshopper.com/ssl-checker.html#hostname=google.com", the certificate is valid on *.Google.com as well as all the subdomains as listed in SAN's.

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 ?
