Import Custom Object Data
It’s easy to import custom object data into your database. If you’re using custom objects with companies, see Using Custom Objects with Companies for more information.
-
In My Marketo, go to Database.
-
Click New and select Import Custom Object Data.
-
Click Browse to locate the data file. Select the file format (Comma Separated Values in this example).
-
Select your custom object.
-
Select the Dedupe Mode from the drop-down. Click Next.
NOTEUse Dedupe field(s) as unique identifiers when you create or update custom object records. This example uses the Dedupe field of the car custom object - vin (vehicle ID number). If you are only updating custom object records, you can select the Marketo Guid as the Dedupe Mode. -
Map each column to a Marketo field, selecting it from the drop-down.
NOTEMake sure the values in your file match the type of field you’re matching them to (e.g., text, integer, etc.), otherwise the file will be rejected. -
Click Next.
-
Click Import.
NOTEThe size limit for custom objects is 100MB.TIPEnter your email address in the Send Alert To field and Marketo will email you when your import is done! -
In the upper right corner of your screen, you’ll see a notification while the import is running, and the final results when it completes.
Yay!
