CO failure due to multiple records

[vijayanandpaul]

Hello Experts,

While syncing Custom Objects (COs) to Marketo , I am seeing that some records have errored with the following error,

"Found more than one Company with id18"

I was trying to query the Marketo companies object ("/rest/v1/companies.json?") but it gives me this error,

"Company API disabled"

Reason for me querying the companies object is because I want to check if really there are more than once companies that are present in Marketo for that particular id18 field. Can you let me know how I can cross check the error message to make sure Marketo is returning the correct error. I need to know this information to address the root cause of my sync failures.

Thanks,

Paul.

Just to provide the CO constraints, here it is,

Is this an SFDC-linked instance?

[vijayanandpaul]

Yes, it is SFDC linked.

Company API is disabled in that case.

Hi Paul,

I fear you can't use "Account ID" as the link field. Marketo documentation states that you have to use the Marketo Company ID. More on this here: https://nation.marketo.com/t5/Product-Discussions/Custom-Object-Linked-to-Company/m-p/302133#M170135...- where I ran into the same issue.
