How the Marketo Integration Works

1

Connect Referral Rock to your Marketo instance via Zapier

Link Referral Rock and Marketo Engage through Zapier. Marketo activity, including form fills, program status changes, and email clicks, can trigger Referral Rock enrollments and reward events automatically.

2

Embed referral invite links in your Marketo email programs

Add personalized One-Click-Access referral links to any Marketo email template. Each lead or contact gets their own unique link. They click once and they're enrolled in your referral program, no registration required.

3

Promote your referral program across nurture campaigns

Add a referral CTA to your existing Marketo engagement programs, including onboarding emails, drip nurtures, and re-engagement programs. Every email you send is an opportunity to recruit new referrers from your existing audience.

4

Track which Marketo campaigns are generating the most referrals

Referral Rock's dashboard shows which programs and sends drove the most new members and referral conversions. Use that data to optimize where and when you promote your referral program in Marketo.

Promote your referral program through Marketo engagement programs

Marketo's engagement programs are where your best nurture sequences live. Adding referral program promotion means every lead and customer in your Marketo programs has an opportunity to start referring.

  • Add a referral invite email to any engagement program, whether onboarding, re-engagement, post-close, or ABM nurture, without rebuilding existing flows.
  • Use Marketo's personalization tokens to embed each recipient's unique referral link directly in the email.
  • Target referral invites to your most engaged Smart List segments, the contacts most likely to participate.

Use Zapier to automate referral program enrollments from Marketo activity

Marketo's Zapier integration means you can trigger Referral Rock enrollments based on any Marketo event, not just email clicks.

  • Enroll new Referral Rock members automatically when a lead fills out a Marketo form, completes a program step, or reaches a lead score threshold.
  • Pass lead data from Marketo to Referral Rock so member profiles are pre-populated, with no data re-entry.
  • Trigger reward events in Referral Rock when referred leads advance through Marketo program stages.

Reach enterprise accounts with account-based referral promotion

Marketo is the platform of choice for ABM. Referral Rock fits into that model, promoting your referral program to the contacts at your most valuable accounts.

  • Use account-level Smart Lists to target specific companies or personas with referral program invites.
  • Combine referral promotion with your ABM playbooks to get referrals from inside your most important accounts.
  • Score referred leads in Marketo based on their activity in your referral program. Referral-sourced leads often outperform other channels.

Expert setup support: Marketo and Zapier configuration included

Marketo instances vary significantly in complexity. Getting the Zapier connection right, and deciding which programs should include referral promotion, takes experience with both platforms.

  • Our onboarding team will help you configure the Zapier connection between Marketo and Referral Rock end to end.
  • We'll help you identify the best programs and email cadences to add referral invites to.
  • You're not handed docs. You get a dedicated advisor who works through the setup with you.
