Push leads to Marketo with program status

Hello, we are currently using  POST /rest/v1/leads/push.json to add leads to a specific program (either existing leads or new leads).
We need to, in the same request, add the program status that this lead will receive, for example:
{ "input" : [{"name" : "Example", "programStatus" : "Registered"}] }


Currently all leads added to a program through this request receives a status of "Invited" (Event channel).I don't think that it's optimal to send four requests, one for this bulk lead push to Marketo, and another three to update program statuses of grouped leads.

Am I going through the wrong approach here?

Thanks.

Not sure I understand the question. What are the "four requests" if everyone is supposed to get the same status? Are you trying to set different statuses per lead in the input array?

Yes, each lead may receive different statuses.

But why "one bulk lead push" -- surely in this case it is clearer to do 4 calls to Push Lead, one for each target status. There isn't another endpoint that is more bulk-ified for setting progression status alone (except for the bulk import endpoint, which could be leveraged by adding to a list and then changing status in a flow).

Hi Sanford, here is the code that I'm using to push leads to Marketo:

$result = $this->marketo->pushLeads([

"programName" => $programName,

"source" => "InEvent",

"reason" => "API Integration",

"lookupField" => $lookupField,

"programStatus" => "Registered",

"input" => $leads

], true);

$result = json_decode($result, true);

Here is the result:

array(3) {

  ["requestId"]=>

  string(16) "9888#164600e03dc"

  ["result"]=>

  array(4) {

    [0]=>

    array(2) {

      ["id"]=>

      int(42)

      ["status"]=>

      string(7) "updated"

    }

    [1]=>

    array(2) {

      ["id"]=>

      int(1)

      ["status"]=>

      string(7) "updated"

    }

    [2]=>

    array(2) {

      ["id"]=>

      int(6)

      ["status"]=>

      string(7) "updated"

    }

    [3]=>

    array(2) {

      ["id"]=>

      int(39)

      ["status"]=>

      string(7) "updated"

    }

  }

  ["success"]=>

  bool(true)

}

It says everything is fine, but nothing changed on my program:

This program uses channel "Live Event", that have the following progression statuses:

  {

  "id": 4,

  "name": "Live Event",

  "applicableProgramType": "event",

  "progressionStatuses": [

  {

  "name": "Not in Program",

  "step": 0,

  "description": null,

  "success": false,

  "hidden": false

  },

  {

  "name": "Invited",

  "step": 10,

  "description": null,

  "success": false,

  "hidden": false

  },

  {

  "name": "Registered",

  "step": 20,

  "description": null,

  "success": false,

  "hidden": false

  },

  {

  "name": "No Show",

  "step": 30,

  "description": null,

  "success": false,

  "hidden": false

  },

  {

  "name": "Attended",

  "step": 40,

  "description": null,

  "success": true,

  "hidden": false

  }

  ],

  "createdAt": "2017-07-06T17:58:49Z+0000",

  "updatedAt": "2017-07-06T17:58:49Z+0000"

  }

Thanks.

Sorry about that.. here is the code that I'm using to push leads to Marketo (following the documentation here: http://developers.marketo.com/rest-api/endpoint-reference/lead-database-endpoint-reference/#!/Leads/pushToMarketoUsingPO… ):

// Gather the result
$result = $this->marketo->pushLeads([
"programName" => $programName,
"source" => "InEvent",
"reason" => "API Integration",
"lookupField" => $lookupField,
"programStatus" => "Registered",
"input" => $leads
], true);
$result = json_decode($result, true);

These are the allowed parameters by this request:

PushLeadToMarketoRequest {

input (Array[Lead], optional),

lookupField (string, optional),

partitionName (string, optional),

programName (string, optional),

programStatus (string, optional),

reason (string, optional),

source (string, optional)

}

Here is the result:

array(3) {
  ["requestId"]=>
  string(16) "9888#164600e03dc"
  ["result"]=>
  array(4) {
    [0]=>
    array(2) {
      ["id"]=>
      int(42)
      ["status"]=>
      string(7) "updated"
    }
    [1]=>
    array(2) {
      ["id"]=>
      int(1)
      ["status"]=>
      string(7) "updated"
    }
    [2]=>
    array(2) {
      ["id"]=>
      int(6)
      ["status"]=>
      string(7) "updated"
    }
    [3]=>
    array(2) {
      ["id"]=>
      int(39)
      ["status"]=>
      string(7) "updated"
    }
  }
  ["success"]=>
  bool(true)
}

It says everything is fine and updated, but nothing changed on my program:

This program uses channel "Live Event", that have the following progression statuses:

{

   "id":4,

   "name":"Live Event",

   "applicableProgramType":"event",

   "progressionStatuses":[

      {

         "name":"Not in Program",

         "step":0,

         "description":null,

         "success":false,

         "hidden":false

      },

      {

         "name":"Invited",

         "step":10,

         "description":null,

         "success":false,

         "hidden":false

      },

      {

         "name":"Registered",

         "step":20,

         "description":null,

         "success":false,

         "hidden":false

      },

      {

         "name":"No Show",

         "step":30,

         "description":null,

         "success":false,

         "hidden":false

      },

      {

         "name":"Attended",

         "step":40,

         "description":null,

         "success":true,

         "hidden":false

      }

   ],

   "createdAt":"2017-07-06T17:58:49Z+0000",

   "updatedAt":"2017-07-06T17:58:49Z+0000"

}

Thanks.
