Why teams connect Marketo and Starburst Enterprise

Put modeled data to work and measure what it drives: Starburst Enterprise and Marketo keep contacts, audiences, and campaign results in step in real time, in both directions.

Starburst Enterprise is where your team models customers, product usage, and revenue into trusted tables; Marketo runs the campaigns, audiences, and messages that reach those people. The two overlap wherever the same person, account, or segment matters to both, and when the bridge between them is a nightly export or a hand-built list, marketing targets stale data while analytics never sees what the campaign returned.

Stacksync syncs Columns, Catalogs, Schemas, Tables in Starburst Enterprise with Custom Objects, Activities and Lead Changes, Static Lists, Programs and Program Members in Marketo field by field, in real time, and in both directions. You decide which system owns which fields — a computed score or segment can flow out to Marketo while sends, opens, and conversions flow back to Starburst Enterprise — and Stacksync keeps every copy consistent and resolves conflicts by rules you set.

Common use cases

  • 01 Consolidate reads from multiple databases behind a single connection instead of maintaining one integration per source
  • 02 Write curated or reconciled results back to lakehouse tables through connectors that support inserts
  • 03 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.
  • 04 Load purchase or product-usage records into Custom Objects linked to Leads so nurture campaigns branch on behavior mastered in another system.

Common sync patterns

Keep the contact and audience list current

New and updated contacts, leads, or audience members flow between Starburst Enterprise and Marketo, so the marketing audience reflects the people in your warehouse and corrections propagate instead of the two sides drifting apart.

Suppression and consent stay aligned

Unsubscribes, bounces, and consent or opt-out flags held in either system propagate to the other, so no one is messaged after opting out and Starburst Enterprise holds the current state for auditing.

Enrich records with warehouse context

Product-usage counts, plan tier, region, or account owner computed in Starburst Enterprise appear on the matching record in Marketo, so targeting, routing, and personalization use up-to-date context.

What you can sync between Marketo and Starburst Enterprise

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.

Marketo objects Starburst Enterprise objects How this pairing syncs
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. Catalogs Each catalog maps to a connector (Iceberg, Hive, PostgreSQL, and others) exposing an external source. Activities and Lead Changes is specific to Marketo and Catalogs to Starburst Enterprise — each maps to any object or custom field on the other side.
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. Schemas Namespaces within a catalog, mirroring the underlying source's databases or schemas. Static Lists is specific to Marketo and Schemas to Starburst Enterprise — each maps to any object or custom field on the other side.
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. Tables Queryable relations; writes pass through to sources whose connectors support them. Programs and Program Members is specific to Marketo and Tables to Starburst Enterprise — each maps to any object or custom field on the other side.
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. Views Engine-level SQL views used to shape federated data before syncing it out. Smart Campaigns is specific to Marketo and Views to Starburst Enterprise — each maps to any object or custom field on the other side.
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. Materialized views Precomputed results that make repeated sync reads cheaper. Leads is specific to Marketo and Materialized views to Starburst Enterprise — each maps to any object or custom field on the other side.
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. Columns Typed per the Trino type system, mapped from each source's native types. Companies is specific to Marketo and Columns to Starburst Enterprise — each maps to any object or custom field on the other side.

How changes propagate between Marketo and Starburst Enterprise

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.

Marketo Starburst Enterprise 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 applied to Starburst Enterprise as a row-level write, with types converted between the two schemas.

Starburst Enterprise Marketo Interval-based propagation

DetectionStacksync polls Starburst Enterprise for changes on an incremental schedule, reading only records changed since the previous pass. Query-based polling.

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

Rate-limit considerations

  • 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.
  • Starburst Enterprise: Throughput is governed by cluster sizing and resource groups rather than API quotas.

How the Marketo and Starburst Enterprise connectors work

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.
