When calling the REST API I am finding some campaigns that fail to activate via the API although they activate fine when don manually. (Using this REST API https://developers.marketo.com/rest-api/assets/smart-campaigns/#activate )
The error returned by the API is:
{'message': u'Wrong number of operands for the given operand', 'code': u'709'}
By trial and error, I determined the issue in Marketo is a "Campaign is Requested" trigger that has a source value of "is any"
If that is changed to a specific value such as "is Marketo Flow Action" then the campaign activates just fine via the API. So this is clearly a case of acivation thru the API doing validation differently (incorreclty( than with activating manually through the GUI.
This is simple to reproduce: just set up a campaign with "Campaign is Requested" trigger that has a source value of "is any" as in screen shot and then try to activate through the API.
