Clear custom object items

[Kelly_Schmid3]

Hi there - is there a relatively easy to way to clear out custom object data? I have been testing abandon cart products with my record and old products are not clearing out of the custom object when I make purchases. Is there any other way to clear the items without deleting the record completely? I tried a blank batch import to overwrite what was in there but that didn't work either.

You can only remove Custom Objects (I assume you mean Marketo COs, not SFDC COs) using the API. You don't need to drop the entire Person.

Hi Sanford - where would APIs to do this be written? Not within Marketo, correct?

[SanfordWhiteman]

The API is the Marketo REST API.  You would write a client app (that is, the app that consumes the API, not an API itself) outside of Marketo.

what do the docs say? developer.marketo.com

I sort of had the impression you could only do this via API or not at all.
