Are you trying to create an opportunity record?
Or are you trying to create a task on an opportunity?

Marketo only reads opportunities and tasks can only be created on the lead or contact object.

Hi Cathal ,

Thanks for your reply.
I am trying to create all activity types, getting from below WSDL link, in Marketo UI.
http://app.marketo.com/soap/mktows/2_1?WSDL

We are extracting data from UI through API calls.
I have to test that what are the data available in UI for these activities, should be match data we are getting from API call.

In response from WSDL I am getting on NewSFDCOpprtnty as an activity type, but I am not able to create that in UI like VisitWebpage, NewLead etc.

Can you please help me.

The WSDL xs:simpleType name="ActivityType" specifies activities you can *read* from CRM. 

I agree with Cathal, "Marketo only reads opportunities and tasks can only be created on the lead or contact object".
Opportunity is a CRM activity. Marketing Automation makes good use of them to control campaign flows.
