Prerequisites

  • A Marketo Account. You can create a test account here.
  • A Custom Service. Learn more about creating Custom Services in Marketo here.

​
Gathering your Credentials

Your end-users will be required to enter their Marketo Client ID, Client Secret, Endpoint URL, and Identity URL as authentication when first connecting to the integration. Users can find their Marketo application credentials by visiting LaunchPoint in the Admin section of their Marketo Dashboard.
  • Client ID: Found under Admin > Integration > LaunchPoint > View Details > Client Id on your Marketo dashboard.
  • Client Secret: Found under Admin > Integration > LaunchPoint > View Details > Client Secret on your Marketo dashboard.
  • Endpoint URL: Found under Admin > Integration > Web Services in the REST API section.
  • Identity URL: Found under Admin > Integration > Web Services in the REST API section.
Press the blue “Continue” button to save your credentials.

​
Connecting to Marketo

Your users will need the following information to connect their Marketo account with your integration built with Paragon Connect:
  • Client ID
  • Client Secret
  • Endpoint URL
  • Identity URL
Once your users have connected their Marketo account, you can use the Paragon SDK to access the Marketo API on behalf of connected users. See the Marketo REST API documentation for their full API reference. Any Marketo API endpoints can be accessed with the Paragon SDK as shown in this example. 
// You can find your project ID in the Overview tab of any Integration

// Authenticate the user
paragon.authenticate(<ProjectId>, <UserToken>);

// Get Leads
await paragon.request("marketo", "leads.json?filterType=id&filterValues=1", {
  method: "GET",
});


// Create a new Lead
await paragon.request("marketo", "leads.json", {
  method: "POST",
  body: { 
      "input": [
        {  
          "email":"[email protected]",
          "firstName":"Kataldar-1"
        },
      ]
  }
});

​
Building Marketo workflows

Once your Marketo account is connected, you can add steps to perform the following actions:
  • Create or Update Lead
  • Get Leads
  • Get Lead by ID
  • Add Leads to List
  • Create Custom Object
You can also use the Marketo Request step to access any of Marketo’s API endpoints without the authentication piece. When creating or updating leads in Marketo, you can reference data from previous steps by typing {{ to invoke the variable menu.

​
Using Webhook Triggers

Webhook triggers can be used to run workflows based on events in your users’ Marketo account. For example, you might want to trigger a workflow whenever new leads are added to a list in Marketo to sync your users’ Marketo leads to your application in real-time.
You can find the full list of Webhook Triggers for Marketo below:
