Marketo/Slack Launchpoint integration

I am looking to set up Marketo integration with Slack, and there is surprisingly little info available. I see that Marketo announced a Launchpoint integration with Slack in 2018, but it does not seem to be available now in Marketo. There is a page for it in the Slack app directory, but the link just goes to the Marketo product docs home page. Does anyone know the status?

What are you trying to do with Marketo and Slack? The Launchpoint integration is pretty limited. You can accomplish a lot more with webhooks.

Re: Marketo/Slack Launchpoint integration

I want to be able to simply post new Marketo form submit alerts in a Slack channel. I saw the Launchpoint integration announcement and thought that would be a good place to start, but info on it seems to have ghosted. What's the best source of documentation for setting something like that up via webhook?

Re: Marketo/Slack Launchpoint integration

Marketo has deprecated this Launchpoint integration. It had limited use cases and ended up breaking due to changes on the Slack side. Recommend using webhooks instead.

Great info @Amy_Goldfine thanks and yes webhook will be the best route to follow for now.

Re: Marketo/Slack Launchpoint integration

Thanks, we ultimately figured out what we needed to do with webhooks. But it would be great and save future research time for others if Adobe/Marketo and Slack could get on the same page regarding whether the Launchpoint integration exists or not.
