How to connect Marketo to Databox

To connect a Marketo Account in Databox, go to Data Manager > + New connection. Type Marketo in the search bar and click on the green Connect button. Next, click the green Connect now button.

This will open the Authorization window, which is where you will be prompted to enter your Marketo login credentials and authorize the Databox app.

Enter your REST API Endpoint. You can find your REST API Endpoint in your Marketo account under Account > Admin > Integration > Web services.

Enter your Client ID and Client Secret. You can find your Client ID and Client Secret under Account > Admin > Integration > LaunchPoint. If there is no Client ID and Secret available, just click the New button in your Marketo account

Click on Activate to authorize the Databox app.

What Marketo permissions do you need to connect to Databox?

In order to access data from the Marketo API, you will need to create a user with "RestApi User" role. If you try to connect with a user that only has an admin role, data will not sync between Marketo and Databox.

If you did not have the appropriate permissions when you initially connected your Marketo Data Source, you will need to reconnect the Marketo Data Source once your permissions have been updated.

For more information on how to create a user and assign a role, learn more here.

What's the maximum amount of historical data initially available when you use a new Marketo Metric in Databox?

When you connect a new Marketo Data Source to Databox, no historical data is initially synced. Data is synced for the Metrics that are being used in your Account, so when you first use a new Marketo Metric, data will start to sync.

Pro Tip: In order to start syncing data for a Metric, you can add it to your Metrics screen, use it in a Scorecard, set a Goal around it, create an Alert for it, or add it to a Databoard. Learn more here.

What time zone does Marketo data sync in?

Marketo data is synced in UTC.

How to access pre-built Marketo Templates

Navigate to Databoards > Public Templates

In the Data Source drop-down list, select Marketo

To view a preview of the Template populated with dummy data, click Preview

To pull the Template into your Account and re-populate it with your own Marketo data, click Use Template

Select the appropriate Marketo Data Source from the drop-down list to complete the process. The Databoard will be re-populated with data from the selected Marketo Account and can be found on the Databoards page

Pro Tip: Once the Databoard is available on the Databoards page, it is completely disconnected from the public Template. Therefore, you can further customize this Databoard to meet your specific needs using the Designer.
