How long does it take for SFDC opportunity to show up in Marketo?

[Anonymous]

Hi All,

I was wondering if anyone knew how long it took for an opportunity to show up in Marketo after it has been created in Salesforce.

We are running a promotional campaign and want to trigger off of a "Closed Won" stage change, but the delay has been so long that the opportunity sometimes comes into Marketo already at this stage. To offset this I have a separate campaign running that uses the Added to Campaign trigger.

The issue is that we want our follow up email communications to be timely and the delay seems to be unknown.

Thanks for any input/suggestions in advance.

Marketo usually syncs records that are synced (in both SFDC and Marketo) every 5 minutes. I know that is not completely true because I and others have had it take longer. I suspect Opps are lower on the priority list even if the Lead exists in both systems.

That sync time can actually be set on the back end by a marketo support person. I called in to set it to 15 minutes to minimize our API call outs. I'm not sure what the defaults are though.
