Connect for Marketo
Prerequisites
An Optimizely Content Management System (CMS) installation with Optimizely Forms and the required Marketing Automation connector components. See Optimizely Connect for Marketing AutomationOptimizely Connect for Marketing Automation.
Install
Install the Connect for Marketo MA connector through the NuGet package EPiServer.MarketingAutomationIntegration.Marketo. See Add-ons platform compatibilityAdd-ons platform compatibility for supported Optimizely versions.
Configure
To configure your Optimizely website to use Marketo, you need a Marketo license that provides REST authentication (Endpoint URL, Client ID, and Client secret) and SOAP authentication (Endpoint URL, User ID, and Encryption key), and Web tracking code.
You also need to configure the connection of form fields to Marketo so that data from the specified fields can be sent to Marketo. These configurations are described in Marketo connectorMarketo connector in the Optimizely User Guide.
See also the documentation video: Personalization with Marketo
See Marketo connector API methods how to perform operations on email templates and folders.
Encrypt credentials
Credentials are encrypted and saved based on one of the following options:
- MAICryptoKey (AES encryption with a SHA256-computer hash based on the value of the key)
- machineKey of the server in web.config.
📘 Note For DXP instances, use MAICryptoKey.
If you choose to use machineKey configuration, you should specify a machineKey in the web.config of your site so that when you deploy it to a different server, the same machine key is used on the new server.
📘 Note If you neglect to specify a machineKey in the web.config, the credentials are removed when the site on the new server is accessed for the first time, in which case you need to save credentials again through the configuration screen.
If the credentials are already encrypted using machineKey in an existing site, and the MAICryptoKey setting is added, then the credentials are deleted and must be re-entered.
Similarly, if the encryption uses MAICryptoKey first and then you decide to use machineKey encryption (by deleting the MAICryptoKey setting), then the credentials are deleted and must be re-entered.
Marketo connector API methods
This topic provides examples of performing operations on email templates and folders when using the Optimizely Connect for Marketo add-on with Optimizely.
Sample code for Marketo version 4 and higher
The following code shows how to perform operations on email templates and folders in Marketo version 4 and higher.
var marketoConnector = new Optimizely.Marketing.Connector.Marketo.MarketoConnector();
marketoConnector.InstanceId = marketoConnector.Id;
// Get a folder by Id
var folder = marketoConnector.GetFolder(2, Optimizely.Marketing.Connector.Marketo.Services.REST.FolderType.Folder);
// Get a folder by name
var folderByName = marketoConnector.GetFolder("Sample folder", Optimizely.Marketing.Connector.Marketo.Services.REST.FolderType.Folder);
// Get all folders
var folders = marketoConnector.GetFolders(15, 25, 2);
// Create a new email template
string content = System.IO.File.ReadAllText(AppDomain.CurrentDomain.BaseDirectory + "/SampleTemplate.html");
marketoConnector.CreateEmailTemplate("TestTemplate1", content, folder.Id, "Test Description");
// Get template by Id
var template = marketoConnector.GetEmailTemplate(1009);
// Get template by name
var templateByName = marketoConnector.GetEmailTemplate("TestTemplate1");
// Update Template
var isUpdated = marketoConnector.UpdateEmailTemplate(1009, "Updated Name", "Updated Description");
// Get template content (html of the email) by Id
var emailContent = marketoConnector.GetEmailTemplateContent(1009);
// Update template content (html of the email) by Id
var updateSuccess = marketoConnector.UpdateEmailTemplateContent(1009, "Updated Content");
// Get all templates
var allTemplates = marketoConnector.GetEmailTemplates(25);
// Delete a template
var delete = marketoConnector.DeleteEmailTemplate(1009);IEmailTemplateService
