  • Create new user with role created previously and API Only checkbox checked

Create new LaunchPoint to obtain client_id and client_secret.

Obtain credentials

Sending to Subscribers to Marketo

Before you can send subscribers to Marketo the list must already exist in your Marketo account. Once the list exists you can select it when setting up a Subscribe action.

Testing Your Marketo Integration

In order to test if emails successfully send to Marketo you need to do the following:

  • Have a competition created with a Subscribe action
  • Ensure that this action is linked to an existing list in Marketo
  • Enter the action manually from your competition dashboard
  • The action will become invalidated (since we automatically invalidate admin actions)
  • Go to the Actions tab for that competition, then make your action valid
  • It should appear in Marketo within a few minutes
