Marketo to Dynamics sync is super powerful. Here are the details:
The sync is bi-directional. If you make changes to either a lead in Dynamics or a person in Marketo, your update will be reflected in both systems.
Deletes do not always sync in both directions automatically. See Deleting a Lead or Contact.
Although this is rare, Marketo will win for people (leads) and Dynamics will win for contacts. This is because we consider the marketing department to be authoritative for people, whereas the official system of record for contacts is in the sales (CRM) department.
Yes, use the Sync Person to Microsoft flow action. This will create a lead in Dynamics if the lead doesn’t exist. If the lead does exist, the flow step will not perform any action.
When using the “Sync Person to Microsoft” flow action (in a trigger campaign only), the lead/contact will be created in real-time in Dynamics.
No, the automated background sync is the only way to sync updates between Marketo and Dynamics. The Sync Person to Microsoft flow action will not force a sync of the lead.
You can select fields to sync during setup.
Yes. The sync will fail if the data format is wrong or missing required field information. Marketo will log the result in the person’s Activity Log if this happens.
