Send Marketo Email button and SFDC Lightning

Marketo's "Send Marketo Email" button with the Marketo Sales Insight package is not supported by SFDC Lightning because they are javascript based. This means the buttons will not appear when using the Lighting UI in SFDC. Does anyone know of a work around until Marketo addresses this issue? I know our users can change their UI back to the SFDC classic UI and use the buttons, but that's not the ideal situation. Our users would prefer to say within one UI.

thanks in advance.

Hi Petyr,

Are you sure you have upgraded to the lastest version of MSI?

On my instance, it works well:

My MSI version number is 1.4359.2

Hi @Grégoire,

thanks for the response. Looks like I have an older version of MSI 1.4359.1. I'll have to install the newer version.

thanks

In case anyone else stumbles across this, here's my solution:

Build a visualforce page with this code for contacts:

<apex:page standardController="Contact" recordSetVar="AllContacts">
<apex:includeScript value="/soap/ajax/30.0/connection.js"/>
<apex:includeScript value="/soap/ajax/30.0/apex.js"/>
<script>
sforce.connection.sessionId = "{!$Api.Session_ID}";
var idArr = [];
list = "{!Selected}"
list = list.replace("[","").replace("]","")
idArr = list.split(", ");
if (idArr[0] == null){
  alert('Please select at least one row');
}
else {
  var value = new Array();
  value[0] = new String(idArr);
  var mname = new Array();
  mname[0] = "contactIds";
  var key =
    sforce.apex.execute(
        "mkto_si.LongGetMethodArguHandler",
        "putArgus",
        {
            name : mname,
            value : value,
            contactType : "Contact"
        }
    );
try {
var key = sforce.apex.execute("mkto_si.LongGetMethodArguHandler", "putArgus", { name:mname, value:value, contactType:"Contact" });
window.top.location = "/apex/mkto_si__Send_Marketo_Email?contactType=Contact&key=" + key +"&retUrl=" + encodeURIComponent(document.location.href); 
}
catch(err) {
window.top.location = "/apex/mkto_si__Send_Marketo_Email?contactType=Contact&contactIds=" + idArr +"&retUrl=" + encodeURIComponent(document.location.href);
}
}
</script>
</apex:page>

Or this code for leads:

<apex:page standardController="Lead" recordSetVar="AllLeads">
<apex:includeScript value="/soap/ajax/30.0/connection.js"/>
<apex:includeScript value="/soap/ajax/30.0/apex.js"/>
<script>
sforce.connection.sessionId = "{!$Api.Session_ID}";
var idArr = [];
list = "{!Selected}"
list = list.replace("[","").replace("]","")
idArr = list.split(", ");
if (idArr[0] == null){
  alert('Please select at least one row');
}
else {
  var value = new Array();
  value[0] = new String(idArr);
  var mname = new Array();
  mname[0] = "contactIds";
  var key =
  sforce.apex.execute(
  "mkto_si.LongGetMethodArguHandler",
  "putArgus",
  {
  name : mname,
  value : value,
  contactType : "Lead"
  }
  );
try {
var key = sforce.apex.execute("mkto_si.LongGetMethodArguHandler", "putArgus", { name:mname, value:value, contactType:"Lead" });
window.top.location = "/apex/mkto_si__Send_Marketo_Email?contactType=Lead&key=" + key +"&retUrl=" + encodeURIComponent(document.location.href); 
}
catch(err) {
window.top.location = "/apex/mkto_si__Send_Marketo_Email?contactType=Lead&contactIds=" + idArr +"&retUrl=" + encodeURIComponent(document.location.href);
}
}
</script>
</apex:page>

Then create a new list view button with your visualforce page as the content source:

Then add the new button to the list view.

It takes a second to load, same as the classic button, but because you're sitting on the visualforce page instead of the list, I also added a "One moment please...." message to the page to pacify impatient users.

Hope that helps someone in the future.
