I just created a new field in Salesforce. What are the steps to have this sync with Marketo?

Hello Danielle,

In most cases just wait 5 minutes and it will be created in Marketo.

I assume you created a lead field, if you create a contact field with the same name and API name and map the lead field to the contact field on conversion, you will get them both mapped to a single field in Marketo.

Best,

Pavel

Hi Pavel,

Thanks for the response. I created a new lead field AND a new contact field. Are you able to go into detail on how to exactly go about adding the contact field to Marketo?

If you used the same field name (and API name), the same Marketo field will be mapped to both Lead and Contact fields in SFDC. In the field properties, it will look something like this (in this case the field name is called Lead Source Detail):
