Marketo Integration

Adobe Marketo Engage is a marketing automation software that allows you to streamline, automate, and measure marketing tasks and workflows so you can increase operational efficiency and grow revenue faster.

The Marketo integration allows you to sync assets from your Bynder DAM to a Marketo folder via a Bynder tag. This enables teams to work more efficiently without having to work in two separate systems and ensures content is always up to date.

How to use the integration

After configuration, assets with the tag indicated in the configuration will upload to the Bynder Assets folder in Marketo. Assets are uploaded ~5 minutes after being tagged.

If you delete a Bynder asset from your Bynder Asset Bank, it will not automatically be deleted from Marketo. If you delete a synced asset from the Marketo folder, it will not automatically be reuploaded to Marketo.

If you upload a new version of a Bynder asset, it will be uploaded to Marketo as a new file.

You can edit the configuration if you want to disable the integration, update your Marketo settings, update the tag, or edit your Marketo credentials.
