Integrating CallTrackingMetrics with Marketo

In order to integrate Marketo with CallTrackingMetrics, there are a few things that need to be configured properly on the Marketo side to ensure that calls are syncing into the system in the correct format and with the data that you need. Once you have your Marketo environment set up the way you want it, you can go into CallTrackingMetrics and navigate to the Marketo integration page to link your account.

Marketo is available on Marketing Pro, Sales Engage, Enterprise, Growth, and Connect plans.

Account management

You should now have a connection between Marketo and CallTrackingMetrics established! CallTrackingMetrics will automatically share with Marketo the detailed information it collects for leads, and new calls coming in through a CallTrackingMetrics tracking number on your Marketo-based website will have a link to the Marketo lead in your call log:

Creating custom objects

The integration with Marketo can be further configured to share information on new calls. If you want to take advantage of this additional data, you must create one or more custom objects in Marketo, then map field data from CallTrackingMetrics to Marketo.

  1. Log in to your Marketo admin account, if you have not yet done so.
  2. In the left sidebar, select Admin ▸ Database Management ▸ Marketo Custom Objects, then click “New Custom Object”
  3. Give your object a display name (such as “Call”), and optionally provide a description. API Name and Plural Name do not need to be modified. Set “Show In Lead Detail” to “Show“, then click “Save”.
  4. If needed, select the new custom object in the list on the right (under “Marketo Custom Objects”)
  5. Click the “Fields” tab at the top of the page.
  6. Important: All custom objects used by CallTrackingMetrics need to have a field for linking to the lead in Marketo:
    • Display Name: anything you want (e.g. “lead”)
    • API Name: same value as above (must match exactly)
    • Data Type: link
    • Link Object: Lead
    • Link Field: Id
    • Dedupe Field: NO
  7. They also need a field for linking to the call in CallTrackingMetrics:
    • Display Name: anything you want (e.g. “Call”)
    • API Name: anything (e.g. “call_c”)
    • Data Type: integer
    • Dedupe Field: YES
  8. You can now add any additional fields you want to the custom object. Here are some recommended values:
    Display Name Data Type
    Name string
    Number phone
    Latitude float
    Longitude float
    Carrier string
    Spam Score float
    Date/Time datetime
    Tracking Number phone
    Tracking Label string
    Tracking Source string
    Business Number phone
    Business Label string
    Agent Name string
    Agent Email string
    Ring Time float
    Talk Time float
    Total Time float
    Direction string
    Tags string
    Notes string
    Score float
    Reporting Tag string
    Recording URL string
    Transcription string
    Spotted Keywords string
    Visit Likelihood float
    Search Keywords string
    Referring URL string
    Landing URL string
    Browser (User Agent) string
    Visitor IP string
  9. Right-click the custom object in the list on the right, then select “Publish Object“.

Mapping data to a custom object

Once you have your custom object(s) created in Marketo, mapping data to them in CallTrackingMetrics is actually quite easy! We attempt to handle all of the heavy lifting for you by guessing how you want to map the data fields into your Marketo custom objects, and making changes is fast and simple.
