Automate direct mail sends in Marketo's workflow builder. Inkit partners with Marketo, a marketing automation software that helps marketers master the art & science of digital marketing to engage customers and prospects, the leader in growth marketing automation across email, push, SMS, and in-app.
Use Inkit and Marketo to sync your online and offline marketing. Automatically send personalized postcards, letters, and more as seamlessly as sending emails. Inkit direct mailers are sent to customers based on actions or events within Marketo to acquire, re-engage, and retain customers efficiently and effectively. The Inkit webhook can be built as long as you have a pre-existing Marketo account set up.
The steps to get the webhook up and running are as follows:
- To get your Template ID, navigate to the templates page. Click the three dots icon on the right side of the page for the template you'd like to use.
- Next, click Copy ID.
- In the tool or app, you want to connect to Inkit, create a new webhook. The details of creating new webhooks vary between platforms. Reach out to your platform's support team to find out how to create a new webhook.
- Fill in the webhook with the following details.
Endpoint: https://internal.inkit.io/integrations/webhook
Add an HTTP Header for the Authorization key-value pair, with your API key from Inkit.
Add the following mandatory fields to specify the recipient, using built-in and custom properties in your platform, and the template which should be sent out:
