How to Sync Salesforce lookup fields in Marketo

[amarb]

 I'm new to Marketo and am still learning the ropes. Is there a document or article available that explains how to sync Salesforce lookup fields in Marketo?

Thanks Vinay for sharing the link, the first option will suffice our need to create a formula field, but in our case the data is going to change so how to handle that scenario?

Well, formula field updates on the lookup field don't trigger a sync, and if you want the values to sync then you need to:

1. create an apex trigger to stamp the values

or

2. create a process using process builder.

Updates on the lookup field don't trigger a sync, so you'd want an automation in place in SFDC that'd update a non-lookup custom field with its value that'd trigger the sync.
