tMarketoInput Standard properties

These properties are used to configure tMarketoInput running in the Standard Job framework.

The Standard tMarketoInput component belongs to two families: Business and Cloud.

The component in this framework is available in all Talend products.

Basic settings

Property Type

Select the way the connection details will be set.

  • Built-In: The connection details will be set locally for this component. You need to specify the values for all related connection properties manually.

  • Repository: The connection details stored centrally in Repository > Metadata will be reused by this component.

    You need to click the [...] button next to it and in the pop-up Repository Content dialog box, select the connection details to be reused, and all related connection properties will be automatically filled in.

This property is not available when other connection component is selected from the Connection Component drop-down list.

Connection Component

Select the component whose connection details will be used to set up the connection to Marketo from the drop-down list.

Endpoint address

Enter the API Endpoint URL of the Marketo Web Service. The API Endpoint URL can be found on the Marketo Admin > Web Services panel.

Client access ID

Enter the client ID for the access to the Marketo Web Service.

The client ID and client secret key can be found on the Marketo Admin > LaunchPoint panel, by clicking View Details for the service to be accessed. You can also contact Marketo Support via support@marketo.com for further information.

Secret key

Enter the client secret key for the access to the Marketo Web Service.

To enter the secret key, click the [...] button next to the secret key field, and then in the pop-up dialog box enter the password between double quotes and click OK to save the settings.

Schema and Edit schema

A schema is a row description. It defines the number of fields (columns) to be processed and passed on to the next component. When you create a Spark Job, avoid the reserved word line when naming the fields.

  • Built-In: You create and store the schema locally for this component only.

  • Repository: You have already created the schema and stored it in the Repository. You can reuse it in various projects and Job designs.

The schema of this component is predefined and it will be different according to the API mode selected, the operation chosen or the custom object specified.

Note that when the API mode is changed, you need to refresh the schema columns manually by switching back and forth the components in the Connection Component drop-down list (only when reusing the connection created by a tMarketoConnection component) and changing the operation to be performed in the Operation drop-down list.

Click Edit schema to make changes to the schema. If the current schema is of the Repository type, three options are available:

  • View schema: choose this option to view the schema only.

  • Change to built-in property: choose this option to change the schema to Built-in for local changes.

  • Update repository connection: choose this option to change the schema stored in the repository and decide whether to propagate the changes to all the Jobs upon completion.

    If you just want to propagate the changes to the current Job, you can select No upon completion and choose this schema metadata again in the Repository Content window.

This component offers the advantage of the dynamic schema feature. This allows you to retrieve unknown columns from source files or to copy batches of columns from a source without mapping each column individually. For further information about dynamic schemas, see Dynamic schema.

This dynamic schema feature is designed for the purpose of retrieving unknown columns of a table and is recommended to be used for this purpose only; it is not recommended for the use of creating tables.

Note that the dynamic schema feature for this component is only supported in the REST API mode.

Operation

Select one of the following operations to be performed from the drop-down list.

  • getLead: This operation retrieves a single lead record.
  • getMultipleLeads: This operation retrieves a batch of lead records that match the specified lead selector search condition.
  • getLeadActivity: This operation retrieves the activity history that matches the specified search condition.
  • getLeadChanges: This operation retrieves data value changes and new lead activities after a given time.
  • CustomObject: Select this item to perform specific action on a custom object. This item is available only in the REST API mode.
  • Company: This operation retrieves the company. also referred to as an account, that a person belongs to.
  • Opportunity: This operation retrieves the opportunity that is associated with a lead or contact and a company.
  • OpportunityRole: This operation retrieves the specific role within an opportunity.
Mappings

Complete this table to map the column names of the component schema with the column names in Marketo. By default, the column names in Column name fields are the same as what they are in the schema.

Note that because some column names in Marketo may contain blank space, which is not allowed in the component schema, you need to specify the corresponding column fields in the Marketo column name column. If the defined column names in schema are the same as column names in Marketo, it is not necessary to set the columns mapping.

This table is not available when CustomObject is selected from the Operation list in the REST API mode.

To do this, select STATIC_LIST_NAME or STATIC_LIST_ID from the List param drop-down list and then enter the key value of the name or id in the List param value field.
