How a Marketo Program Syncs & Communicates With a Salesforce Campaign Whoa there buddy, not everything syncs! Ever wonder how Marketo and SFDC sync up? Well, wonder no more! Here's the scoop on how data from a Marketo Program syncs directly to its SFDC Campaign counterpart. CAMPAIGN NAMEPROGRAM NAME TYPECHANNEL TOTAL LEADS & TOTAL CONTACTSMEMBERS ACTUAL COSTPROGRAM COSTS PROGRAM > SETUP > COSTS To add, drag the Program Costs field in the right panel @myleadmd leadmd.com GO@leadmd.com 877.775.3236L E A D M D B E S T P R A C T I C E S S E R I E S Programs to Campaigns Every marketing initiative starts somewhere. Where better to start than with a name? Ensure your naming convention maintains consistency across both Marketo and SFDC.  Channel to Type The “Channel” in Marketo and “Type” in SFDC defines the category that best describes your campaign. In our example, it’s a demand gen blast. The names in the “Channel” and “Type” fields must be exactly the same for everything to properly sync. Program Costs to Actual Costs Finally, an easy one! Costs (the amount of money spent on your campaign) will always be the same in both SFDC and Marketo. Member Status to Campaign Member - Status While members won’t appear in the exact same order, the actual list of members from a program/campaign will be the same, with the exception of the match-up issues we talked about in the last section. There are several instances where Marketo Programs and Salesforce Campaigns don’t share similar field information. Here are a few to be aware of: Members to Leads/Contacts This area shows the individual leads that are part of your campaign. If you see a lower number of leads in SFDC than Marketo, don’t freak out! It happens. Here are a few reasons why: You can adjust Marketo to include defaults for certain fields in the “Admin” section. Just be smart about what you use for your defaults. For example, some day you may want to include “Last Name” & “Company” as Marketo tokens. You definitely don't want a situation where you send an email to Joe “No Last Name" at "Unknown” Company. That would be whack. Marketo campaign members don’t have all the required fields required for creation in SFDC (typically company or last name) SFDC’s “Campaign Status” is absent as a concept in Marketo. “Schedule” event actions & “Start/End Date” inputs are only available within Marketo and do not sync to SFDC. Marketo can’t see leads/contacts in SFDC Oops! Some SFDC leads/contacts or Marketo members may have been deleted! If you’re using a record type that’s changed to a different type that Marketo can't see, a sync back to the specified ID won’t be possible. Issues likes these happen sporadically. To stay in the loop, make sure you’ve signed up for error notifications. Best practices alert! Create the Marketo program first; then create the SFDC campaign directly from Marketo using the “Campaign Sync” functionality.   If an SFDC campaign already exists, you can still sync them (just be sure the statuses and type are exactly the same). In SFDC, campaigns have definable start and end dates. These fields are used for campaign planning and are not found in Marketo. The “Active”checkbox also only exists in SFDC. PRO TIP CAMPAIGN MEMBER - STATUSMEMBER STATUSES PROGRAM > MEMBERS Clicking on the ID will take you to the “Lead Detail” page Looking for even more best practices?
