Authentication
In order to authenticate with Marketo, there are three pieces of information that a Marketo admin must obtain through Marketo’s interface:
- Client ID
- Client Secret
- Instance URL
To obtain these credentials, follow the steps outlined below.
Step 1
Log into Marketo and navigate to the Admin tab.
Step 2
In the left hand navigation, click on Users & Roles under Security.
Step 3
On the Users & Roles page, navigate to the Roles section and click New Role.
Step 4
Add your Role Name and Description. For Permissions, expand the Access API node and select the following checkboxes:
- Read-Only Assets
- Read-Write Lead (may also be called Read-Write Person)
- Read-Write Activity
Click Create.
Step 5
On the Users & Roles page, click Invite New User.
Step 6
Add in your desired email credentials. Note that the Email/First Name/Last Name in Invite New User dialog do not need to be aligned to a real person since it is used by API only. We suggest that the email contains the integration name.
Step 7
Under "Roles", check the option for the role that was just created in Step #3, as well as the API Only box at the bottom. Save the user.
Step 8
In the left-hand navigation, click Launchpoint under Integration.

Step 3
Under CRM options, enter the three data points under the Marketo section and click Save Edits.
Step 4
Once the connection has been made, you can optionally check the box next to Automatically Create Contacts. If enabled, contacts will automatically be created in Marketo whenever an external email recipient clicks on a signature campaign. Make sure to "Save Edits".
Step 5
The integration has now been enabled.
Troubleshooting
If you run into any problems with your smart lists processing, it may be because your Marketo account needs additional permissions. Reach out to your Marketo account rep and tell him/her that you are trying to extract the leads from a smart list using the Bulk Lead Export API and are encountering a 1035, Unsupported filter type for target subscription error when attempting to do so. Ask to enable access to this filter and you should be set!
