API permissions

Minimum permissions:

How content syncing works

• Content sync starts as soon as connection is made, allowing you to quickly search your data. This may take a few hours to several days based on the amount of content in your account. You’ll receive an email when syncing is complete.
• Dash performs a full sync of your Marketo Engage content and permissions every seven days and an incremental sync every two hours.

Step 1: Set up your Marketo Engage API user

Before connecting Marketo Engage to Dash, a Marketo Engage admin must:

1. Create an API-Only User.

• In Marketo Admin, click Users & Roles, then Users.
• Create a new API-only user.
• Assign the following permissions: 
  • Read-Only Asset (to fetch programs, emails, and landing pages)
  • Access User Management API (to retrieve user and workspace details)
  • Access Users (to fetch user-role mappings)

2. Create a LaunchPoint Custom Service. 

• Click Admin, LaunchPoint, then New Service.
• Choose “Custom” and associate it with the API-only user.
• After saving, securely store the Client ID and Client Secret.

3. Get your Marketo Identity URL.

• Click Admin, then Web Services, then note your Identity URL.
  • For example: https://123-ABC-321.mktorest.com/identity

Step 2: Connect Marketo Engage to Dropbox Dash

In Dropbox Dash:

   • Client Secret (from your LaunchPoint service)
   • API User Email for tracking which Marketo Engage user owns the integration (Optional).

Known limitations

• Dash honors Marketo workspace-level access, and a user with access to a workspace in Marketo will see all published programs and assets from that workspace in Dash, even if their Marketo role would normally restrict access to some of those assets.
• Deleted Marketo programs or assets may still appear in Dash until the next weekly full sync.
• The Marketo connector indexes around 20,000 pages in a day. Some large organizations might experience a slow initial sync.
