Custom Objects

[Anonymous]

Hi ,
I was going through Marketo API and found that there is an API call to get Custom Objects. This brought few questions in my mind. I am new to Marketo and don't have any insight into custom objects. Please help me in answering following questions:
What are Custom Objects and what is their purpose?
How to create Custom Objects in Marketo?

Thanks

The API reference is a good start point to learn the custom objects

Bgomes, can you please help?

The API reference at the link you provided does not provide much information about Custom Objects, in order to proceed with:

• Finding them in Marketo
• Determining their name(s) ("objTypeName"), which is required in order to access them via the API

A Marketo custom object allows for the creation of a one-to-many relationship between your Marketo Leads and the custom object records. When the Marketo custom object is successfully provisioned in your account, you can:

Create/Read/Update/Delete records in the custom object via Marketo SOAP API

Use smart list trigger when new records are added to the custom object

Use the custom object data as a filter in smart lists (segmentation)

Use the custom object data in emails using [Marketo email scripting]

How I can come to know whether "custom object is successfully provisioned in my account"?
