Bulk remove records from multiple Marketo Programs

[Kacper_Gawlik1]

Hello!

I'd like to seek your advice whether there is any fancy way to mark members of a particular Smart List with Not in Program status in multiple Marketo programs?

The background is, that these records are from banned countries and we want to remove them from any Marketo program that they are member of.
Because programs are synched with individual SFDC campaigns we want to remove them from these with above action.
In Smart Campaign Flow there is a step to refer to one program but I was wondering if there is any chance to refer to multiple programs in one place.

In general we could consider removing them from all Programs at once if this helps, but we still want to keep them in Database.

Appreciate your help!

Thanks,
Kacper

Unfortunately, there's no way to do "Remove from All Programs" unless you use the API. (Even with the API, it wouldn't technically be a one-shot method, but getting memberships and looping over them would be done easily in code.)

All right, so in such case we will consider Removing them from Database so hopefully this would disconnect them from SFDC campaigns.
Client confirmed they are not relevant due to lack of options to send them any communication as they are blocked anyway.
As a backup we might export and store them somehwere safe for any future case need.

Thank you Sanford!

Oh, that's what you're asking. Well, you might for instance set those records to "Marketing Suspended = TRUE". That wouldn't remove them from programs though, but it would prevent them from receiving any - non-operational - emails.
