{{trigger.CO Name}} not working

[EllenSchwier]

Following the directions in this post, I set up a smart campaign to transfer a value from a custom object to a person field every time the custom object was updated. However, it is not working for me. Looking for some help troubleshooting...

My Smart List:

The Flow steps:

And what I am seeing in the Results tab:

The trigger token is a direct copy of the field name (display name, not API name). I cannot think of anything that I did differently from the original post where several commenters mentioned their success with this approach.

Any ideas? Thank you in advance!

Two immediate ideas up front:

1. You have two triggers. "Is Updated" very likely doesn't work and probably kills the whole process.

2. Is "Opportunity" even a CO? It's a synced Salesforce object, but not a Marketo Custom Object in the sense the quoted original poster meant.

Thank you for the ideas.

I think you may be right about the Updated Trigger not working. And unfortunately, that is the primary trigger I need.

In this specific situation, we don't have a native integration set up, so I believe the opportunities are still custom objects. But also worth a further investigation.

I will post again if I solve it.

(Marketo’s built-in Opportunity object wouldn’t be considered a custom object.)

If we think about it: "Object Is updated" can't work as a trigger, as it doesn't leave a trace in the activity history.

I've tested in my environment with "Added to Opportunity" - which is the native Salesforce integration - and it didn't work either. Got the same error message that you got, so I'm inclined to say that this won't work at all with the opportunity object.
