Question

Reference Lead.Id in Velocity

In the list of fields on the right side of the velocity script editor, it appears the Lead ID field is missing, so I cannot check it.

So a reference to ${Lead.Id} in  velocity never has a value.  Perhaps I am missing something.


Is there any way to do this, other than copying the Lead.id field to a custom field and then using that?

Thanks

It's LeadID in the tree and $lead.leadID in VTL.

Sanford...thanks for confirming the name in VTL;  but in my instance, neither "Person ID" nor "Lead ID" show up in the tree of the Velocity script editor, and so I am unable to ever get a value for ${lead.leadID}.

I am curious if others have been able to successfully reference the Marketo Lead ID in Velocity?

I knew I had just rolled out some very complex VTL that involved the $lead.leadID and that worked (and still does) but other instances I spot-checked didn't have it. Maybe this is a regression.

In any case you can get the ID, which is always in the context regardless, with

#set( $lead.Id = $convert.toInteger($mktmail.id.replaceAll("-.*${esc.d}","")) )
