Hello!

It's possible push unsubscribed users to marketo via segment.io? Actually I use customer.io for email company which integrated to segment.io, so I also want push that data to my marketing program in marketo.

I read this documentation, but I didn't find solution:
- Marketo Source Documentation - Segment
- Marketo V2 Destination Documentation - Segment

Do you have any ideas or solutions for that?

Yes, you have to add and map additional Segment traits to represent the unsubscribe-related fields.

However: you should be aware that you're probably opening a DoS attack vulnerability against your Marketo API call limit using such methods. Anything that allows an end user to consume an API call for an untrusted action creates such a vuln.

I would recommend you rethink your way of managing unsubscribes to push this information directly to Marketo using the Forms JS API.

Thanks!

I connected customer.io as source and marketo as distance to segment.io. So I see success pushing from customer.io to segment.io, but data requests from segment.io to marketo are failed. Can you help me with marketo config for that action?

It's all in the Marketo v2 documentation from Segment.

I would need to see your entire configuration on both sides, and all error reports, to be able to troubleshoot this.
