Can a Contact record be created directly in Marketo

We want to populate Marketo with converted Lead records ("Contacts" in SugarCRM speak) directly through API/SOAP which will then sync with SugarCRM. Does anyone have experience with this?

I'm not sure either. Our goal is to create a "contact" record in Marketo that is identical in nature to a "contact" record that is created by Marketo through Sugar Connector sync.

I am not sure if this addresses your question, but you can add a custom field to a lead with it's status. For example, you can add a boolean field called contact.

For converted leads (leads that have gone through the "conversion" stage in Sugar), Sugar can only sync with a "contact" record in Marketo after the conversion. Can the API create "contact" records in Marketo?

You can create leads with the syncMultipleLeads SOAP API. You can also use the Create/Update REST API to do this.
