How to write in the lead description field via SOAP API

Hi everyone,

I'm working with the SOAP API to create LeadRecords programmatically and I cannot find a way of writing or reading anything from the description fields that appear in the UI, as they are not exposed in the API. Does somebody know how to do this? Are there any workaround?

Thanks.

    Absolutely. I'd use a custom field for that.

    It seems like that data wouldnt be relevant to an actual lead.. and the API deals with objects central to Marketo, rather than being an alternative to the interface. What is is you're after? Maybe you can make it a custom field?

      Hi, thanks for your answer.

      I was trying to write a brief description of what can be offered to that lead, like what would it be likely to buy. Is the best option then to use a custom field?

      Thanks.
