Markety

Easily integrate with the Marketo SOAP API to find and update leads.

Install

Add this your Gemfile:

gem 'markety'

and run bundle install.

Getting Started

Instantiate a new Markety client using your Marketo SOAP endpoint, User ID, and Encryption Key

client = Markety::Client.new(USER_ID, ENCRYPTION_KEY, END_POINT)
# or, if using a workspace:
client = Markety.::Client.new(USER_ID, ENCRYPTION_KEY, END_POINT, target_workspace: "ws_name")

You can get leads from Marketo by idnum or by email. Markety returns a GetLeadResponse object which is an array of leads. Getting a lead by idnum will return a single lead, however because Marketo allows for an email address to be tied to more than one lead getting by email could potentially result in an array of leads with the same email address.

# By idnum
lead = client.get_lead_by_idnum("123456").lead              # Lead object (or nil)

# By email
leads = client.get_leads_by_email("[email protected]").leads  # array of Leads

After getting your leads, you can update their attributes before syncing.

# Update a leads email address
lead.set_attribute("Email", "[email protected]")

# Update a lead record with an attribute that isn't a string
lead.set_attribute("Activated", true, "Boolean") # [1] see below

Once you're ready to sync back, just tell Markety how you'd like it to sync. There are currently 3 supported methods, "EMAIL", "MARKETO_ID" and "FOREIGN_ID"

# Sync the lead with Marketo
response = client.sync_lead_record(lead, "EMAIL")

There are a few available list operations available at the moment. Be sure to pass in the lead idnum and not the lead itself to run the query.

# Check if a lead is on a list
client.is_member_of_list('The_List_Name', lead.idnum).list_operation_status? # true if on list
# (alternately, you can use `list_op_status?` or `lop_status?` to save some keystrokes)

# Add a lead to a particular list
client.add_to_list('The_List_Name', lead.idnum).list_operation_status #true if successful add

# Remove a lead from a particular list
client.remove_from_list('The_List_Name', lead.idnum).list_operation_status #true if successful removal

Lastly, if you would like to create a lead in Marketo via markety, you can use the sync lead method the same way you would use the syncy lead to update a lead. Just start by instantiating a Markety::Lead.

new_lead = Markety::Lead.new
new_lead.set_attribute("Email", "[email protected]")
response = client.sync_lead(new_lead, "EMAIL")

Be sure you have the correct attribute fields. You can find those in your Market Admin dashboard.

[1] Note that the Marketo API does not let you create custom fields at this time. In order to set a custom attribute through the API, it must first be added from the Admin interface. (Admin » Field Management » New Custom Field)

Options

# Turn of Savon logging - logging is helpful during development, but outputs a lot of text which you may not want in production
client = Markety.new_client(USER_ID, ENCRYPTION_KEY, END_POINT, { log: false })
