    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
