We've just implemented BrightTalk which populates an integer field for us with the actual minutes that someone spends watching an on-demand or live webinar. For example, BTLK Live Minutes Viewed. This is tantalizing because we actually have a Time Scoring program where the Time Score represents minutes. E.g, Time Score = 60 means 60 minutes. So it would be great if we could simply increment Time Score by the BTLK Minutes Viewed field. For example:
SL Trigger:
Data Value Changes: BTLK Live Minutes Viewed
Flow:
Change Data Value:
Time Score->New Value = +{{lead.BTLK Live Minutes Viewed}}
Alas, of course, you can't put "+" in front of token like that. It doesn't work.
Can anyone think of a (relatively simple) way to accomplish the same thing?
(Our fall back will be a series of flow steps along the lines of "If BTLK Live Minutes Viewed is between x and y, Time Score = +z". But it's frustrating to have the actual minutes and not be able to apply them in a program designed to count minutes).
Thank you!

I don't think there's a way to do this without a series of flow steps as you describe or a webhook to another service that can actually do math. I would love if Marketo expanded the formula possibilities inside flow steps to include some basic arithmetic or lookups to a table.
My recommendation would be to avoid being overly granular - it seems like a few buckets (less than 5, 5-15, 15-30, 30-45, 45-60) would be adequate for judging engagement.
Some ideas out there:
