Munchkin has the trigger for source type = munchkin. I dont see one for API.

Please advise.

Hi David,

I gather you are talking here about the "source type" constraint on the "lead is created" trigger or "lead was created filter"?

If so, use the "Web service API" value.

    correct. last question on topic: the trigger/filter you mention is "on person created and source type is web service api"

    however, what about if the person is already created. For example, I have many optin forms. If its a new user, the above works. But what happens if the user already exists? Seems "on person created" wouldn't trigger (or would it?). I'd think there should be a "on person created or updated".

    Hi David,

    Correct.

    But I am afraid of something: are you calling the SOAP or rest API from the form in your system or from your application server?

    If you are calling it from the form, this is a serious security breach (exposing your Marketo to a DoS attack). You should use the forms 2.0 API instead, that will do all you need: create the lead when it's new and log a "fills out form" for any new or existing lead.
