Troubleshooting Data Sync Issues Between Marketo and Facebook

We have successfully integrated Facebook with Marketo; however, data is not flowing between the platforms as expected. Marketo support claims this is a Facebook issue, while Facebook support has been unhelpful. Interestingly, when using Zapier to establish the connection, data flows accurately. I am uncertain why the sync between Marketo and Facebook is not functioning properly.

 

TIA

Well, if you don't see any issues in the Launchpoint and everything seems correctly set up as per the documentation but isn't working, you should create a support ticket with the Marketo team. The integraiton is pretty straight forward to setup, and once setup it works w/o any hiccups.


I identified the reason — the issue was with CRM sync permissions. Marketo lacked the necessary permissions to retrieve leads from Facebook. After rectifying this, leads are now flowing smoothly from Facebook to Marketo. However, I've encountered another issue: certain fields like Job Title and Company Size have picklist values. Facebook is automatically converting spaces to underscores (_) at the backend before syncing the details to Marketo, which distorts the data format. Currently, my plan is to set up data standardization campaigns in Marketo to rectify this issue. Do you have any additional recommendations or insights on how to manage this challenge effectively?

Could you elaborate and provide more details as in what data isn’t flowing and how it isn’t as per your expectations so we can answer to the point? Also, in the last line you mentioned about the sync b/w Marketo and Salesforce, did you mean Marketo and Facebook instead?

Yes, you're correct. I mistakenly included Salesforce instead of Facebook in the initial question.

Regarding the issue at hand: data is not flowing from Facebook to Marketo. When someone fills out a lead generation form on Facebook, that lead is not being created in Marketo.

Can you verify if the integration service in the Launchpoint is correctly configured, and, more importantly, is active without any errors? Additionally, to be 100% sure, I'd also check if the lead gen form is created in the same account that's integrated with Marketo.
