Below, select a list from your Marketo account where new leads will be sent on submission. You can send the same lead to multiple lists on the same submission.

Use the Update existing subscriber option if needed and start mapping 123FormBuilder fields with Marketo fields and custom fields in the Field subsection. Remember to set the Email field as required on the form in order for the integration to work properly. In the end, use the Email Handling for problems that might occur during submission, such as a bad network connection on the submitter’s side that would prevent the lead to be created in Marketo.
