Marketo allows the use of Webhooks to communicate with third party web services. If you wish to set up a webhook integration with Marketo, click on the Setup Webhook button and follow the steps given.
Daily API Request Limit: By default this is set to 10,000. There is a daily allocation of at least 10,000 REST API calls per day. You can set the number of calls per day by inputting the number in the box.
Track email unsubscriptions from Marketo: If enabled, unsubscribed users on Marketo will not receive email communication in your events.
Automatically link events with a new Marketo program: If enabled, it automatically creates a new Marketo program when a new event is created and links the events to the programs.
You can also see the API requests made according to date.
When you enable the option to Automatically link events with a new Marketo program, additional configuration settings will appear. These allow for better control and customization of how your events interact with Marketo. These configurations are listed below:
Select the Folder that Automated Programs Will Be Created : This field allows you to choose the specific folder within Marketo where the new automated programs will be stored.
Select Base Program to Be Used : This field allows you select an existing Marketo program that will serve as the template or base for new automated programs.
Select a Mode of Linkage : This field defines how the new automated program will be linked to the base
Select the Channel that Automated Programs Will Be Created : This field allows you to choose the channel under which the new automated programs will be categorized. For InEvent integration, you would typically select the Events channel if you are creating programs related to events or webinars.
Select the Type of Automated Programs That Will Be Created : This field allows you specify the type of program that will be created, such as a default, engagement, or event program. When integrating with InEvent, you might choose a type of program that best fits the nature of your events, such as an Event for managing event-specific activities and automation.
Select Default Value for Tag : This field allows you to set a default tag value for the new automated programs. Setting a default tag can help in categorizing programs associated with specific events.
Integration Configuration at the event level
After linking your Marketo Account with InEvent at the company level, you can select your event and continue the configuration of the integration.
To do so, on your event's page click on Settings > Integrations > Marketo.
The integration supports webhooks, which allow the use of the GET or POST HTTP verbs to push or retrieve data from a specific URL. For detailed instructions on in-application creation of Webhooks and how to add them to smart campaigns, please refer to this article.
Program information
Marketo programs
Programs are a core organizational component of Marketo Marketing Activities. They can be a parent to most types of assets, and allow for tracking of membership and success of leads within the context of individual marketing initiatives.
On the Marketo integration page, click on Program. Here, you have the option to select the program you want to link with InEvent.
Once you have linked a Marketo Program with your event, you will be able to synchronize your attendees, Lists, Activities, and Custom fields.
Attendees
To synchronize attendees, you must click on Synchronization > Sync attendees. You will be notified by email when the synchronization is ready.
After the synchronization has been confirmed in your email, your information will be updated on the integration information page.
To see the new attendee's information you must update your View Attendees page (F5) and all new information will be updated. Automatic synchronization takes place at every hour.
All attendees who are synchronized via integration with Marketo will be flagged with a lightning bolt in the Attendees page. To see additional information for each attendee, click on Edit and select the person you want. Additional information is available on the right side of your screen.
You also have the option to export data to any custom list anywhere on Marketo by pressing the Export to Marketo buttons on attendees, invitees and lists.

Select the activity you wish to sync with Marketo by activating the Enabled toggle button.
You can synchronize as many activities as needed.
Refresh your browser page. The interface will display a Sync now button beside the selected activity.
Press Sync now to start synchronizing activity attendees.Once the synchronization is finished, the number of synchronized activity attendees will appear under Sync.
Your synchronized InEvent activities will be displayed in Marketo as Static Lists within the InEvent Sessions folder.

Under Fields, you will be able to link your custom fields from Marketo with your custom fields from InEvent.
Modification on fields will only be reflected on value changes.

To export attendees' information to Marketo, navigate to People > Attendees. To export invitees' information, navigate to People > Invitees. Follow these remaining steps on either page:

How do I activate the Marketo ID Auth for an event?
To enable this feature, go to Settings>Tools, and click on the Login section. Press Edit and toggle the button beside the Marketo ID Auth tool to show green. Press End to save the changes.
If you see a padlock beside the tool, it means you need to enable it at the company tools page .
Once the tool is enabled, you will have a link example in your Marketo Settings that you can use to generate magic links directly on Marketo.
In terms of API requests, 5 to 6 API calls are sent per registration.
You can rename the Marketo program created by InEvent manually on Marketo, but it may break the integration since Marketo uses the name to integrate. In that case, our recommendation is to not activate the automatic program creation. Create it manually on Marketo, and then link it with an event.
