Marketo - Adding Leads to a Campaign (atEvent Hub)

Your company’s Campaigns typically target existing and prospective customers. You can associate leads collected in atEvent and assign them to campaigns that you currently have setup in Marketo. The connection between atEvent and your MA/CRM will be using a Campaign ID. You will need to extract this data and copy to atEvent and later map the fields when completing the field mapping step. 

This article is divided into the following sections:

  • Marketo Smart Campaign Setup

  • atEvent Campaign ID Setup

  • Retrieving atEvent Leads in Marketo

Note: In order to associate leads collected in atEvent and assign them to campaigns in Marketo you will first need to create the following attribute in Marketo: (atEventEventName). See the following help article for this setup: Marketo Integration Guide (atEvent Hub)
