Why teams connect DealCloud and Marketo

Keep the people you sell to and the people you market to in one shared view: DealCloud and Marketo sync contacts, accounts, and engagement in real time, in both directions.

DealCloud 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.

Stacksync syncs Investment, Relationship, Activity, Task in DealCloud with Opportunities and Opportunity Roles, Custom Objects, Activities and Lead Changes, Static Lists in Marketo field by field, in real time, and in both directions. You decide which system owns which fields — DealCloud can own account and opportunity status while Marketo owns engagement and campaign membership — and Stacksync keeps every copy consistent and resolves conflicts by rules you set.

Common use cases

  • 01 Mirror DealCloud activities and tasks into an operational database to power internal dashboards without hitting the API on every read.
  • 02 Push portfolio and fund performance data from a warehouse into DealCloud so dealmakers see up-to-date metrics on each investment.
  • 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

New and updated people stay in step

When a contact or lead is created or edited in either system, the matching record appears or updates in the other, so campaigns reach real people and reps see who is already being marketed to.

Where Marketo captures engagement: activity lands on the record

Opens, clicks, form fills, event attendance, or ad responses recorded in Marketo post back to the contact or account in DealCloud, so reps see interest before they reach out.

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.

What you can sync between DealCloud 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.

DealCloud objects Marketo objects How this pairing syncs
Company Synced with incremental and full sync. 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 both directions.
Fund Synced with incremental and full sync. 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. Fund is specific to DealCloud and Smart Campaigns to Marketo — each maps to any object or custom field on the other side.
Investment Synced with incremental and full sync. 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. Investment is specific to DealCloud and Leads to Marketo — each maps to any object or custom field on the other side.
Relationship Synced with incremental and full sync. Opportunities and Opportunity Roles Revenue objects synced via /rest/v1/opportunities.json and /rest/v1/opportunities/roles.json; roles associate an opportunity with a Lead, so pipeline data can drive nurture and scoring. Relationship is specific to DealCloud and Opportunities and Opportunity Roles to Marketo — each maps to any object or custom field on the other side.
Activity Synced with incremental and full sync. Custom Objects Auxiliary data tables described via /rest/v1/customobjects.json and read/written via /rest/v1/customobjects/{apiName}.json, linked to Leads by a dedupe/link field so campaigns branch on records like purchases or subscriptions. Activity is specific to DealCloud and Custom Objects to Marketo — each maps to any object or custom field on the other side.
Task Synced with incremental and full sync. Activities and Lead Changes Engagement feed (opens, clicks, form fills, Data Value Changes) read via GET /rest/v1/activities.json using a paging token from /rest/v1/activities/pagingtoken.json (sinceDatetime), plus Get Lead Changes and Get Deleted Leads; read-only, also available via async Bulk Activity Extract. Task is specific to DealCloud and Activities and Lead Changes to Marketo — each maps to any object or custom field on the other side.

How changes propagate between DealCloud 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.

DealCloud Marketo Interval-based propagation

DetectionStacksync polls DealCloud for changes on an incremental schedule, reading only records changed since the previous pass. Incremental via each entry's last-modified timestamp.

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

Marketo DealCloud 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.

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

Rate-limit considerations

  • DealCloud: API request limits apply per firm tenant; Stacksync manages throttling and retries automatically.
  • 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.

How the DealCloud and Marketo connectors work

DealCloud

Integration surface
REST API (DealCloud Data API v2)
Authentication
OAuth 2.0 client-credentials; a DealCloud administrator generates a client ID and secret in the DealCloud admin API settings and grants Stacksync the required scopes
Change detection
Incremental via each entry's last-modified timestamp; DealCloud has no universal native change-data-capture, so Stacksync polls modified rows on an interval
Capabilities
read · write
Rate limits
API request limits apply per firm tenant; Stacksync manages throttling and retries automatically.

Marketo

Integration surface
Marketo REST API (JSON over HTTPS) for Leads, Companies, Opportunities, Custom Objects, Activities, Lists, Programs, and Campaigns, plus an asynchronous Bulk Import (leads) and Bulk Extract (leads/activities/program members/custom objects) API and an Asset REST API for emails, forms, and landing pages
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.
Capabilities
read · write
Rate limits
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.
