Using Tokens with requestCampaign soap API call

[Anonymous]

Hi All

I'm trying to send token value in the requestCampaign SOAP API call.

Following is the array which is generated for token:

[programTokenList] => ArrayOfAttrib Object

                (

                    [attrib] => Array

                        (

                            [0] => Attrib Object

                                (

                                    [name] => {{my.Subject}}

                                    [value] => Here are the NOTES

                                )

                        )

                )


When I run the script it gives the following error.

Fatal error:  Uncaught SoapFault exception: [SOAP-ENV:Client] 20114 - Bad parameter 

SoapClient->__soapCall('requestCampaign', Array, Array, Object(SoapHeader))

Marketo->request('requestCampaign', Object(stdClass))

What could be the reason for this, and how can I fix it.

Thanks

Just by initial glance, try using just the name of the token (assuming you created a Token on the program called Subject).  For example use Subject instead of {{my.Subject}}

Also note that providing the actual SOAP Request XML would allow for troubleshooting.  Here at Marketo, we use tools such as SOAP UI to test SOAP REQUEST/RESPONSE Messages.  

You can also use a tool like Wireshark to monitor the traffic between your specific SOAP Client code and see the Request XML that actually gets sent over to Marketo.

Himanshu,
Do you have a token named my.Subject in the program which contains the campaign you are requesting?

Similar problem:

var result = ws.requestCampaign(ai, new Marketo.ParamsRequestCampaign()

            {

                campaignId = campaign,

                campaignIdSpecified = true,

                source = Marketo.ReqCampSourceType.MKTOWS,

                leadList = new Marketo.LeadKey[]{new Marketo.LeadKey()

                {

                    keyType = Marketo.LeadKeyRef.IDNUM,

                    keyValue = lead.Id.ToString()

                },

                },

                programTokenList = new Marketo.Attrib[] {

                    new Marketo.Attrib() { name="EmailLinkUrl", value="http://staging.windstreambusiness.com/download?url=somefile"}

                }

            });

Campaign request work without the token, program it belongs to had the EmailLinkUrl defeined as a token, but I just get a Bad Parameter error back.  I coul'd have swore it worked in my initial trials but no luck now, I'm forced to go and generate extra Custom Fields to use.

Here's sample code that works -

public function testRequestCampaignOverrideTokens()

  {

       $key = new LeadKey();

       $key->keyType = "EMAIL";

       $key->keyValue = "aahsan99@gmail.com";

       $key2 = new LeadKey();

       $key2->keyType = "EMAIL";

       $key2->keyValue = "agha@marketo.com";

       $leads = array();

       $leads[] = $key;

       $leads[] = $key2;

       $leadList = new ArrayOfLeadKey();

       $leadList->leadKey = $leads;

       $tokens = array();

       // The {{ }} are optional, but 'my.' is required

       $tokens[] = new Attrib("{{my.Offer Start}}","1/1/2013");

       $tokens[] = new Attrib("{{my.Offer End}}","10/1/2013");

       $tokenList = new ArrayOfAttrib($tokens);

       $params = new paramsRequestCampaign();

       $params->source = "MKTOWS";

       $params->campaignName = "My Cool Campaign";

       $params->programName = "Winter 2013";

       $params->programTokenList = $tokenList;

       $params->leadList = $leadList;

       $authHdr = apiClientUtil::getAuthenticationHeader(self::$wsUser, null, null, $params);

       $client = $this->getSoapClient();

       $success = $client->__soapCall('requestCampaign', array($params), null, $authHdr);

       $this->assertNotNull($success, 'Response is null');

       $this->assertNotNull($success->result, 'Result in response is null');

       $this->assertTrue($success->result->success, 'API failure reported');

  }

FYI: You have to use the campaignName and programName parrameters to use tokens.  You can use the campaignId.  I ended up using getCampaignsForSource() to convert my campaing Id into the program Name and campaign Name.
