Inferred State

[Anonymous]

We have a lead routing rule in SFDC that runs on the state field.   I want to geep the gate on content as simple as possible, so I was thinking of just using the inferred state.  Rather that edit the workflow in SFDC, I was hoping to just update the state value with the inferred state and then push the lead to SFDC.  
Problems is, I cannot see the inferred state as a value in the "change data value" field.
Thoughts?
Thanks,
RM

After submitting this, I saw that I may be able to place  {{lead.Inferred State Region}} into the change data value field.   so, even though inferred state is not in the drop down, it looks like you can still use this "code" to call values?

Hey Rich,

That is correct.  {{lead.Inferred State Region}} is what we call a token, and you can use this to pull values from a field for emails or Change Data Values.  The reason the field isn't available as a target attribute for Change Data Value is because the field is system managed, being filled by the first web activity that we log for a lead record.

For the use case you're describing, you'll likely want to set up a campaign with a "Lead is Created" trigger and "State is Empty" then a Change Data Value flow step that targets "State" and populates it with a new value of "Inferred State Region"  This will fill the value for any leads who are created in Marketo and don't already have a value in the state field.

Im getting a lot of blanks in inferred state and inferred country.   Why would that be the case?
We have state and country as mandatory fields on our form.   But I heard that if the client is not running java, it may not enforce the mandatory fields.   But inferred should still work.   

Unless.........they are using a private setting in search to get to our site first?   like https://google.com?

Love to know why the inferred data is blank.

Thanks

I have the same issue, does anyone know why inferred state often shows as blank?
