Integrate Marketo with an external database
Question
How to integrate Marketo and an external database (except salesforce / MS Dynamics which have native connectors)
The facts
You can integrate Marketo and any database via the APIs of Marketo but it is necessary to prepare the integration project well so that your IT department knows what to integrate.
The solution:
Take the time to set up :
- an architecture diagram to define which systems and which business objects will have to communicate
- the order of the flows, their direction, their frequency
- which identifiers of both systems will be shared
- which custo objects are to be created in Marketo and which fields
- and finally a datamapping
