Relationship Between Program Type and Program Channel via Rest API

While creating a program via UI, we have Fixed set of Program Types and based on this value Program Channel Drop Down populates. So, how is this relationship determined?

I am trying to create a Program via api, so on providing the program type, I need all applicable channels for same type. Since program Types are fixed and I am pulling channels via api call : https://113-EDC-810.mktorest.com/rest/asset/v1/channels.json which gives me all the channels. I am not able to figure out the sub set of channels which are applicable to a Program Type.

Please let me know what I am missing here.

When you define a channel in admin->tags section, you have to tell Marketo to which program type (singular) this channel will apply.

This is why, when creating a program, you are first prompted for the program type and second for the channel, which is dependent on the type.

You should use the Get Channels endpoint, that returns for each channel the "applicableprogramtype" information.

Hi Greg,

I got the channels from rest/assets/v1/channel endpoint and all the channels contain applicableProgramType field as well. But I have observed that this field's value is not from the [Event,Engagement,Event,Default] which is the set of acceptable program types.

In the API response for channels, I could see the applicableprogramtype as "Program or event or webinar" as well.

So, I am not able to correlate the program Types and Channel. Let me know if I am missing anything.

Hi again,

I have not tried it but the doc is pretty clear on this: http://developers.marketo.com/rest-api/assets/programs/channels/
