Manage Social Profile Data

When someone interacts with a Marketo social app, or authorizes their social network to prefill a Marketo form with social form fill, Marketo captures all the data available from their social profile. You can view this information on the Person Details page, or add it as a column in a custom view of a smart list.

Social form fill and social apps capture slightly different sets of fields; see the section for each below.
