Marketo REST Connector

Before we explore the Marketo REST connector – One of the many application connectors provided by Boomi, we should know what it is.

What is Marketo?

Marketo is a software-as-a-service (SaaS) platform that helps businesses automate their tasks for account-based marketing and other marketing services.

Coming back to Marketo REST Connector, as already mentioned, it’s an application connector provided by Boomi to connect to and exchange data from the Marketo platform. Using this connector, you can directly connect with the Marketo platform and GET, EXECUTE, UPDATE, QUERY, and DELETE data stored in the Marketo platform.

Like every other connector in Boomi, Marketo REST Connector also requires the Marketo Connection and Marketo Operation components to connect to the Marketo platform.

Marketo Connection:

Store the essential details required for establishing the Boomi- Marketo connectivity.

• Name: One can set the desired name for the connection in this field.
• Endpoint URL: Store the endpoint URL for the Marketo service.
• Identity URL: Store the Identity URL for the Marketo account instance.
• Client Id: Stores the Client ID to log into the Marketo account.
• Client Secret: Stores the Client Secret of the Marketo account used to log onto the Marketo platform.

Marketo Operation:

• Name: One can set the desired operation name in this field.
• Object: The Marketo REST Object against which you want to perform the said action.
• Request Profile: Defines the schema/structure of the request sent to the Marketo platform.
• Response Profile: Defines the schema/structure of the response received by the Marketo platform.

• Error Behavior: Helps store the error response received from the Marketo platform.
• Return Application Error Response: If selected processing continues and passes the error response to the next component processed as the connection output, otherwise stops the processing and reports an error in process reporting.
