Don't webhooks work with batch campaigns?

It seems that webhooks do not work in batch campaigns (but only in triggered ones) - is that a bug or a feature? is there a workaround?

Hi Dmirtry,
Indeed that's true. the workaround I implemented:
  1. I placed the webhook call in a triggered campaign with the smart list trigger 'campaign is requested'.
  2. I created a batch campaign (in my case it's a scheduled daily batch) with its own relevant smart list that selects the leads, and a single flow action of 'request campaign'.
  3. effectively this fires the webhook for each lead that passes the smart list of the batch campaign.
hope this helps.

Idan.

Thanks Idan!  Seems pretty elegant.

Marketo employees out there - any reason this workaround is not a Good Thing?

Dmitry,
This is not a good thing because you could flood our systems with trigger campaigns when operating on a large number of leads.  It may cause significant performance issues and we will NOT support webhooks in batch mode as described by Idan.

Sorry,
Raj
