Duplicates with same source

Hi,

We found some duplicate records with the same original source and time of creation in our Marketo database.

I'm not sure how is this even possible. Is there some way to prevent this sort of duplication in the future?

Thanks in advance,

Anand.

These were both created using the REST or SOAP API. At this point (4 years later) it wouldn't be possible to know exactly what request was put on the wire, but clearly some remote app made multiple requests.

Note that "9:47" is rounded to the nearest minute. You can make hundreds of requests during a single minute (1000s, theoretically, but Marketo will only allow 300 to go through).

Hi Sanford,

Thanks for your response. Same thing happened with source = Web Form Fillout

Now, I have no idea.

You can post a form 30 times per minute from the same IP, so again, there's nothing so strange here.

If you were showing submissions from the same ​millisecond that would be notable.
