Re: Bulk Lead Export Alert

Hi there,

1. Can we trigger a notification when an user does a bulk lead extract from Marketo?

2. Can we do IP blockage when suspicious activitiy (like bulk import) happens?

These features are not part of the platform, no. For our clients who struggle with people abusing the API — almost never malicious, but certainly destructive — we put in place an API gateway.

They get access only to the gateway, not directly to Marketo. This allows for stricter rate limiting and per-endpoint permissions, as well as returning cached data if configured (e.g. a full lead export is only performed once per day and subsequent requests are served from the cache).
