Creating a global counter in Marketo

I wanted to create a counter that is counting amount of MQLs and I created an internal field for that, however, it won't sum up the global amount of MQLs, only per person.

Is there a way Marketo can sum this up as a global counter?

You can only do this with the assistance of a webhook.

 

Calling a suitable webhook-compatible service, you can increment a global counter and write the value back to a Marketo {{my.token}}.

 

But you might also consider just creating a People Performance Report which groups all your MQLs into one row — the count of this row is then the global count. Depends on what you’re trying to use this counter for.

Thanks for the answer!

I'm trying to build an alert that would send an email to me whenever the amount of MQLs is too low... can that be done using that report? or do I need to use a webhook?

You‘d need the webhook for that — the report could only be sent on a scheduled basis regardless of the count.
