You can now use the Marketo Engage source when running Adobe Experience Platform on Amazon Web Services (AWS). Experience Platform running on AWS is currently available to a limited number of customers. To learn more about the supported Experience Platform infrastructure, see the Experience Platform multi-cloud overview.
Adobe Experience Platform allows data to be ingested from external sources while providing you with the ability to structure, label, and enhance incoming data using Platform services. You can ingest data from a variety of sources such as Adobe applications, cloud-based storage, databases, and many others.
Marketo Engage is a complete solution for lead management and B2B marketers looking to transform customer experiences by engaging across every stage of complex buying journeys.
With the Marketo Engage source connector, you can bring B2B data from Marketo Engage to Platform and keep this data up to date using Platform-connected applications.
You must have access to Adobe Real-Time Customer Data Platform B2B Edition to use all Marketo datasets for segmentation with the Real-Time Customer Profile. Without Real-Time CDP B2B Edition, you can still use the Marketo source to bring data from the people and activities datasets to Real-Time Customer Profile for segmentation.
This document provides an overview of the Marketo Engage source connector, including information about how to authenticate the connector, how to map Marketo Engage fields to Experience Data Model (XDM), and the connector’s data latency.
Before you can establish mapping sets for Marketo Engage, you must first set up Adobe Organization Mapping. For detailed steps on how to complete this, see the guide on setting up Adobe Organization Mapping for Marketo Engage.
In order to connect Marketo Engage to Platform, you must first retrieve values for your munchkinId
, clientId
, and clientSecret
.
See the steps outlined in the Authenticate your Marketo source connector document to retrieve your credentials.
Next, use the B2B namespace and schema auto-generation utility to set up your Platform developer console and Postman environment. This allows you to auto-populate your B2B namespaces and schemas. For detailed instructions, see the guide on setting up your B2B namespaces and schema auto-generation utility
XDM is a publicly documented specification that provides common structures and definitions that allow you to ingest data from third-party sources for use in downstream Platform services.
Adhering to XDM standards allows data to be uniformly incorporated into the Platform ecosystem, making it easier to deliver data and gather information.
To learn more about XDM and its role in Platform, please see the XDM System overview.
To establish a source connection between Marketo Engage and Platform, the Marketo source data fields must be mapped to their appropriate target XDM fields prior to being ingested into Platform.
See the following for detailed information on the field mapping rules between Marketo Engage datasets and Platform:
The following table outlines the expected latency for bringing Marketo Engage data into Platform, based on the nature of ingestion and the desired destination:
Destination | Expected Latency |
---|---|
Real-Time Customer Profile | < 10 minutes |
Data lake | < 60 minutes |
The latency figures above represent expectations at a 95% confidence level. Actual latencies will vary and may extend beyond those figures by 50% in rare cases.
