Unable to create custom object through Marketo UI and REST API

Hi,

I am trying to create the Custom Object from UI but unable to get the options for it. As per the online documents, custom object can be created from

"Click Admin, and in the tree, select Database Management > Marketo Custom Objects."

But we are not getting Database Management option on UI. Do we need extra permissions to view this option?.

We have marketo test instance and having Admin user role. Can able to create the Custom fields but not custom objects.

As per the developer link, "You must contact Marketo Consulting Services to enable this feature for your account prior to use." (Marketo REST APIs: Custom Objects » Marketo Developers )

So do we need to raised extra request to activate this feature?

Also tried to create custom object from REST API

URL: https://748-QNP-012.mktorest.com/rest/v1/customobjects.json

Method: POST

Request Body:

{

"action":"createonly",

"name":"customeobject_new",

"input":

[

{

"displayname":"BMW"

}

]

}

but here also getting message as

code: "605"

message: "Request method 'POST' not supported"

Any pointers will be helpful to us to move further

Thanks

The API docs show customobjects.json is a GET-only resource: Get List of Custom Objects​.

Upsert is Create/Update/Upsert Custom Objects.

Hi Deepali,

Not all of our subscription levels have the ability to use custom objects.  If you do not see that functionality, then it is likely a result of using a test instance and not a fully provisioned instance.  You should contact the person that gave you access to your test instance for more information.

Steven is correct here.  The language on the site is outdated as the Custom Object UI has been deployed in general availability, I'll update it soon.

    Thanks Kenny

    You mean to say custom object UI will be available for the test instance also?. If Yes, then when can we get this updates.

    Deepali,

    you definitely should ask to enable it in your account. Makerto released the custom objects UI last month and it works perfectly for me.
