Send audiences to Adobe Marketo

Adobe Marketo is marketing automation software that streamlines, automates, and measures marketing tasks and workflows.

This topic describes the steps that are required to configure campaigns to send static audience lists to Adobe Marketo.

Note

Amperity uses the Adobe Marketo API to update the membership of audience lists in Adobe Marketo to match the membership of audience lists that are sent from Amperity. The membership of the list in Adobe Marketo will be updated to match the membership of the audience list that is sent from Amperity. Amperity will add a user when they do not exist in Adobe Marketo.

Amperity does not maintain smart lists and does not remove users from the Adobe Marketo database.

Important

An email address must be sent to Adobe Marketo. You may also send first names, last names, company names, and phone numbers.

Note

Ask your DataGrid Operator or your Amperity representative for help configuring Adobe Marketo as a destination to which you can send campaigns for customer activation.

Build a segment

Which attributes should you use?

Default attributes may be configured for a destination by clicking the Default attributes link next to the Create campaign button on the Campaigns page.
