List of domain names in my databse

I need to build a smart list that is triggered every time a user from a new domain name is added to my database. How do I go about building a list of all the domain names that already exist in my database? I would need to check the new email address being added against this list.

You can’t do this without the assistance of a webhook. There’s no built-in feature to centralize your domain list, let alone check new people to see if their domain is in the list.

 

With a webhook in the mix, it’s relatively simple, since the webhook-compatible service can maintain a list of unique domains, and when you call it, it’ll return true/false for whether the domain is net new. You can trigger that response in the Webhook is Called trigger.

 

To be thorough, you might also “offboard” people by running them through a second related webhook before deleting them. That way if someone is the last person in the db with a current domain, you can delete that domain from the list, so seeing a future person from that domain is considered interesting.

We do not want to use a webhook. If we add a "domain name" field at the record level, can we create a custom trigger to identify a new domain similar to the "Person is Created" trigger?

No. The method I’ve outlined above is the only way to do this. Marketo does not detect net new field values across the database.
