Why teams connect Clearbit and Marketo

Flow Clearbit data into Marketo in real time — no exports, no schedulers, no custom scripts.

Clearbit is a read-only source: Stacksync reads its data in real time and delivers it into Marketo, so Marketo always reflects the current state of Clearbit — without exports, scripts, or schedulers.

Clearbit owns the customer relationship and the pipeline; Marketo runs the campaigns, audiences, and outreach that fill it. The two overlap on the same people and companies — a lead in one system is a subscriber, a segment member, an event registrant, or an ad audience in the other. When that overlap is bridged by CSV exports or a nightly job, sales works from lists that no longer match reality and marketing keeps targeting people whose status has already moved on.

Common use cases

  • 01 Append technographic fields to account records in the warehouse for ICP scoring models.
  • 02 Route and score inbound demo requests using Clearbit company size and industry data synced into the CRM.
  • 03 Two-way sync Marketo Leads with a Postgres or warehouse table, matched on email, so RevOps queries and updates marketing profiles in SQL while marketers keep working in Marketo.
  • 04 Extract Marketo Activities (opens, clicks, form fills, Data Value Changes) through Bulk Activity Extract or Get Lead Activities into a warehouse for lead scoring and multi-touch attribution.

Common sync patterns

Lead and lifecycle status agree

Status, stage, or score set in one system updates the matching record in the other, so a lead marketing is still nurturing is not worked as sales-ready, and a closed account stops receiving prospecting.

Segments and audiences follow the CRM

Where Marketo builds lists, segments, or ad audiences, membership tracks the fields and stage owned in Clearbit, so who receives a campaign reflects current pipeline reality instead of a stale export.

Where Marketo generates leads: hand-off without re-keying

New leads or responders captured in Marketo flow into Clearbit assigned and deduplicated, so nothing sits in a marketing list waiting for someone to export it.

What you can sync between Clearbit and Marketo

Representative objects on each side — any object or custom field can map to any target. Schemas are auto-detected; types are converted between the two systems.

Clearbit objects Marketo objects How this pairing syncs
Companies Firmographic profiles looked up by domain and merged into account records. Companies Company records linked to Leads via a company link field; read and upserted through /rest/v1/companies.json, typically mastered in a CRM or ERP and written into Marketo for account context. Same entity on both sides — records pair one-to-one and field-level changes reconcile in the writable direction.
Enrichment attributes The firmographic and technographic fields appended to destination records. Static Lists Named static lists; read via /rest/v1/lists.json, with Leads added or removed via POST and DELETE on /rest/v1/lists/{listId}/leads.json to control campaign membership from lifecycle logic computed downstream. Enrichment attributes is specific to Clearbit and Static Lists to Marketo — each maps to any object or custom field on the other side.
Persons Individual profiles looked up by email and used to enrich contacts and leads. Programs and Program Members Marketing programs read via /rest/v1/programs.json; program membership and member status managed via /rest/v1/leads/programs/{programId}.json and the program status endpoint for acquisition and attribution reporting. Persons is specific to Clearbit and Programs and Program Members to Marketo — each maps to any object or custom field on the other side.
Reveal matches IP-to-company resolutions used to identify anonymous website traffic. Smart Campaigns Automation flows read via /rest/v1/campaigns.json and run against a set of Leads by requesting a trigger campaign with POST /rest/v1/campaigns/{id}/trigger.json, so downstream logic can push Leads into a Marketo flow. Reveal matches is specific to Clearbit and Smart Campaigns to Marketo — each maps to any object or custom field on the other side.
Name-to-domain lookups Company name resolution used to normalize account records before enrichment. Leads Core person records (called Leads/People), deduped on email address by default or a configured dedupe field; read via GET /rest/v1/leads.json with a filterType, upserted via POST /rest/v1/leads.json (action createOrUpdate/createOnly/updateOnly), bulk-imported via CSV through POST /bulk/v1/leads.json, and bulk-exported via /bulk/v1/leads/export/create.json. Name-to-domain lookups is specific to Clearbit and Leads to Marketo — each maps to any object or custom field on the other side.

How changes propagate between Clearbit and Marketo

Each direction of the sync is driven by what the source system can signal and what the destination accepts — detection, delivery, and expected latency below.

Clearbit Marketo Sub-second propagation

DetectionClearbit notifies Stacksync of record changes through webhook events. On-demand lookups.

DeliveryEach detected change is written to Marketo through its API, with automatic retries and rate-limit backoff.

Marketo Clearbit Interval-based propagation

DetectionStacksync polls Marketo for changes on an incremental schedule, reading only records changed since the previous pass. Polling: Get Lead Changes and Get Lead Activities from a paging token seeded by a sinceDatetime, plus Get Deleted Leads, or Bulk Extract filtered on.

DeliveryClearbit does not accept inbound record writes, so this direction carries requests rather than records: Clearbit's output flows back as field updates on the originating Marketo records.

Rate-limit considerations

  • Clearbit: Subject to plan-based API rate limits and lookup volumes.
  • Marketo: Interactive calls are capped at 100 per 20 seconds (error 606) and a maximum of 10 concurrent calls (error 615) per instance, neither increasable; a default daily quota of 50,000 calls (increasable, resets midnight CST) applies. Bulk Extract shares a 500 MB/day export quota across data types with at most 2 concurrent jobs and 10 queued.

Authentication
OAuth 2.0 client_credentials (2-legged): GET the Identity URL /oauth/token?grant_type=client_credentials with a Custom Service client_id and client_secret to receive an access token valid for 3600 seconds, then send it as Authorization: Bearer on each call. The instance base URL is https://{munchkinId}.mktorest.com; passing the token as an access_token query parameter is deprecated (removal July 31, 2026).
Change detection
Polling: Get Lead Changes and Get Lead Activities from a paging token seeded by a sinceDatetime, plus Get Deleted Leads, or Bulk Extract filtered on createdAt/updatedAt. Marketo's Webhooks are Smart Campaign flow-step outbound HTTP calls to a URL, not a general record-change subscription, so there is no push feed of arbitrary CRUD.
