SFDC Details doesn't show in lead alert emails

Hi!

In our lead alert emails, "SFDC Details" stopped appearing consistently about two weeks ago.

Our instance of Marketo is synced w/ SFDC.

"SFDC Details" ALWAYS appears if the lead is already in SFDC, and NEVER appears if it's the first time a lead has ever been in SFDC.

But this wasn't always the case!

"SFDC Details" ALWAYS appeared no matter what.

Any idea how to get this to display all the time?

We've been going back and forth with support quite a bit with no luck.

Thank you!

Emily

ISSUE SOLVED!

We tried different things based on the comments like the order of ops and were able to fix the issue by adding in "Sync Lead to SFDC" to the flow.

THANK YOU!!

Please move the thread to Products. "Community" is for website feedback, not support on Marketo products.

Hi Emily,

That's the SP_SendAlert_Info token, (Use the Send Alert Info Token {{SP_Send_Alert_Info}} - Marketo Docs - Product Docs ) which you aren't able to edit.

My guess is that something in your order of operations changed. So previously, the lead was getting sync'd to salesforce before the alert went out, and now the alert is getting sent out before the sync.

Hi Darrell!


Thanks so much with your help on this.

Where would the order of ops have been changed i.e. in Marketo or SFDC?


Do you know where we could check that setting?

Thanks again!

I don't think there's ever been a guarantee that the lead would be synced before an alert goes out. This doesn't make sense, actually.

Right - that needs to be setup manually as part of the smart campaigns after getting a feel for how long it takes to get the lead ID from CRM (as I illustrated below).  It will never be 100% error proof (which is why we include the disclaimer in our alerts).

Triggering on the Data Value Changes should take care of that... plus a fallback send-without-info and conditional Remove From Flow.

Sure - but that would require additional trigger campaigns separate from our all-encompassing lead lifecycle campaigns that you see here:

I was just saying you could control for the sync error timeline/errors that way.

Or if this capability existed:
