Step 1 of 3: Add Marketo Fields to Veeva CRM

PREREQUISITES

Your Veeva CRM instance must have access to Salesforce APIs to sync data between Marketo Engage and Veeva CRM.

Marketo Engage uses a set of fields to capture certain kinds of marketing related information. If you would like this data in Veeva CRM, please follow the instructions below.

1. Create a custom field in Veeva CRM on the contact objects: Score

2. You can create additional fields, if desired (see the table below).

All of these custom fields are optional and are not required to sync Marketo Engage and Veeva CRM.

  1. Choose the page layouts that should display the field.

  2. Click Save & New to go back and create each of the other two custom fields.
