About this task
Use this task to import leads to a given list in bulk. Leads are synched asynchronously. The
response returns a batch id which can be used to get status of the sync.
Procedure
- Right click the Orchestrations section and select new orchestration.
- Drag the newly created Marketo endpoint to the orchestration and select
Import Lead.
- The Import Lead activity will be added to the orchestration. Double
click the activity. The Marketo Import Lead Checklist is displayed.
- In the Checklist, click Retry. Review the default
settings and make the required changes.
- Click the Map Inputs in the Checklist. The XML
Schemas generated for that operation are displayed as nodes under the request input parameter in the
To Activity panel.
- Create a map between the orchestration variables and the input parameter of the activity.
- Mandatory Fields:

- File (File content should be provided in csv, tsv, ssv format for importing lead)
Note: Values must be provided at run time for the mandatory elements of the input structure. A
value can be provided by specifying a default value for element or by linking the element with an
input node. During run time if no value is provided for a mandatory element, the activity throws an
exception, which is reported by the Web Management Console. If a value is not provided at run time
for an optional input parameter, no exception is thrown during run time.
