I have a new field coming to MKTO from SFDC called "Form Product Type".  I'm hoping to put this field into a Custom Object that we populate via API Forms from our Drupal CMS system. The field is going to be a hidden field that populates the field value based on the product/page the person submitted from, so if they submit a Form from the product A page, that field would populate with the "Form Product Type = A". And so on for product pages B, C, n. The problem I'm running into is that the Object already exists and I can't seem to add a new field to the object. What can I do? ... View more

I am trying to define a user persona based on what pages on our site they might be visiting. For example, we sell 4 products (A, B, C, D) and we have 5 pages that might speak to any given product. As a user navigates through a subset of these 20 webpages they might lean towards one product or another based on digital indicators. But the tricky part is that they might go to 4 pages for product A, 2 for product C, and 1 page for product D. So on that alone -and as a simplistic solution- I would determine their interest as primarily A, and secondary C. Over time, say measured in last 30 days, that may change and their primary might evolve to D, and the secondary to A. How would I go about creating an indicator in Marketo that will allow me to flag a person as "Leans A, secondarily B", but changes as the person goes about their regular browsing of our site over time? I realize that this is a simplistic approach cause one could argue that in the example above the reason they went to 4 product A pages was because they couldn't find what they were looking for, but when they got to D they didn't have to go any further since they found what they wanted. In this case, D would be the primary interest, and perhaps A the secondary interest. This brings some other elements that I don't know that we capture in Marketo such as time spent on a page which could help determine the weighting. *I'm already going through and tagging all my pages to a particular product interest so that I have a key.* Any thoughts on how one might accomplish this?

Hi, We have a use case where we want to track which accounts in SFDC have signed up for one of our events. A third party that manages the event passes us the Person data with a field like Event = "MA19" which indicates that they signed up for this year's event. Based on that data I want to create a custom object record on the account that that person belongs to in SFDC. For instance, Jon Smith from ABC Corp comes in and I create a custom object record (via a program/smart campaign) in SFDC. How do I then stop a creation of a second custom object record if I get someone else from ABC Corp that signs-up? Thank you- ... View more

I understand Marketo doesn't have lookup tables, but we can create a smart campaign to do a replace value.The problem is that currently I have ~300 values, and that list may grow. Also if we can figure out a way to do lookups, there are cases where we would use this for much larger data sets. Sanford Whiteman had posted a blog post related to a similar case I had, but being that I'm not a developer, I am not sure if this can be used to replace an existing value field or if no match in column A, simply ignore. The value I want to replace is a UTM Campaign that is brought in from our web visits, the problem is that in the past those UTM Campaign values were not standardized, so we have all sorts of values coming in that we would like standardized. I've created the translator values in an excel table, but wanted to avoid creating 300+ rules in Marketo smart campaigns if this could be done another way. I see ideas for lookups in the community for this, but apparently they didn't get enough votes. We did functions like this with our previous Automation tool and I could benefit tremendously if we could run data transformation tables in Marketo. Here is an example of the data: Campaign Name received from the form [value we get from the web visit] Value we would like stored on the record 17janc_fr_sc_dm_better_together_wms_supply_chain_mag 17-01-emea-fr-supplychain-dm-better-together-wms-supply-chain-mag 17-dec_emea_tms_logisticsmagazine_ads 17-01-emea-uk-transportation-logisticsmagazine-ads 17jan_us_sc_cm_mcleod_lme_carrier_perspectives_whitepaper 17-01-noam-us-supplychain-cm-mcleod-lme-carrier-perspectives-whitepaper Any thoughts or help would be great.

I would like to create a program off of a field on the person record. We capture a field when a person submits a form called "Web Form Campaign Name" (it's a UTM value) I would like to then grab that field and create a Program and sync that person to a campaign in SFDC. The SFDC campaign would be created with the same name as the "Web Form Campaign Name" assuming it doesn't exist already. If it does exist, and a person comes in with that value, then it would just sync it to that existing Campaign. For example: new person comes in with the value for Web Form Campaign Name = "GoogleAd" we then want that person synced to a campaign in SFDC called "GoogleAd". If the campaign does not already exist, then it would need to create it. But if does exist, it would just sync it as a member. Does anyone know if this is even possible? thank you ... View more

Hi, Does anyone currently post directly from a Marketo Form (on a Mkto Landing Page) to a custom activity? I need to have this post to a custom activity because the data we collect is additive. I could send it to a Person field, but as soon as the Person submits a new form we run the risk of overwriting the original data. e.g. Form field name is "Foods I like" 1st time answer submitted "Salads"; 2nd submission "Steak" I would like to keep both submissions so i have historical data. thank you- ...

Has anyone ever seen this error on a webhook activity. {"success":false,"error":"No lead fields to import","logId":"d3039c09-6d16-4b8f-ab1a-03bad214a872"} I'm trying to generate a call to Dun & Bradstreet to append data to people after they submit a form. I get a "200" for my response code (i.e. It's being sent) but the "No lead fields to import" keeps coming back as my error. Any thoughts?? Thank you- Michael ... View more
