Populate Lead Field with Custom Object Value

[Carrie_Lawson]

I created a custom object in Marketo to capture Software information from our CRM (Netsuite).  Unfortunately the custom object fields do not appear in a results page of a leads list if you wanted to view those values.  So, I am trying to populate one of those fields on the Lead record with the date that is in the Custom Object field. 

Is this possible somehow? i tried to figure out how to use a token to do so, but i cant locate if Custom Objects have token i can use or not.  Any answers, ideas, or suggestions are welcome!

Thanks,

Carrie

Hi Carrie,

No it's not. But this triggers a question : do you have a 1:N relationship between leads and the custom object ? The reason why I am asking is because :

• If yes, then which date do you want to post to the lead object ? The first one ? the last one ? It's not that simple.
• If it's a 1:1 relationship, then you would have better created additional fields on the lead object than a custom object.

If your Netsuite interface can post custom objects in relations to a lead, it surely can also update a lead field.

Its a many to one relationship as they could have more than 1 software option and different dates as well per software option.  We needed the custom object to capture all the different software options they have.

Hi Carrie,

So really, this something that should be handled by the netsuite connector

i basically answered my own question in my response.  I wish there was a way to pull custom object data into a results column for viewing.  Thanks for your consideration and attention though.
