SOAP API SyncLead always creates instead of updating leads

[Anonymous]

Hi,

I am going around in circles trying to make an anonymous lead known using the SOAP API.

I can call getLead based on a cookie and retrieve the anonymous lead. But when I do a SyncLead using the same cookie, it always responds:

(ResultSyncLead){

   leadId = 28607

   syncStatus = 

      (SyncStatus){

         leadId = 28607

         status = "CREATED"

         error = None

      }

   leadRecord = None

 }

As in, it creates a new lead instead of updating the anonymous lead.


Here are my synclead params:

(ParamsSyncLead){

   leadRecord = 

      (LeadRecord){

         Id = None

         Email = None

         ForeignSysPersonId = None

         ForeignSysType = 

            (ForeignSysType){

               value = None

            }

         leadAttributeList = 

            (ArrayOfAttribute){

               attribute[] = 

                  (Attribute){

                     attrName = "Email"

                     attrType = None

                     attrValue = "foo@example.com"

                  },

            }

      }

   returnLead = True

   marketoCookie = "id:732-BYO-081&token:_mch-mbed.org-1360169766550-44998"

 }

Help! 

Thanks,

Dan

Afraid that doesn't work for me. I am using the SOAP 2.0 API, and those fieldnames aren't valid there.

You need to put the ID of the lead in your ParamSyncLead

So in your ParamSyncLead, you need to put Id = 28607, and there's another property called IdSpecified, you need to set that to true.

That's how I did update to a lead.

I'm also having trouble with Updating a Lead using syncLead,  because even though I pass in new Contact info, Marketo only updates the Company Info.

Anyone else having this issue? Or is this the expected behavior?
