## Marketo is webhook-only

Direct Marketo integration — where you enter API credentials in **Settings** > **Integrations** — is no longer available for new connections. The supported path for all new Marketo connections is a **webhook from Marketo to TrailSpark**.

Webhooks give you the same signal coverage with a simpler setup: configure a webhook in Marketo's Smart Campaign flow steps, point it at your TrailSpark webhook URL, and activity data flows in automatically.

## Set up the Marketo webhook

See [Marketo Webhook Setup](/docs/marketo-webhook-setup) for step-by-step configuration, including:

- Creating a webhook in your Marketo Admin panel
- Pointing it at your TrailSpark signal endpoint
- Authenticating with an API key from **Settings** > **API Keys**
- Configuring Smart Campaign flow steps to trigger the webhook on the activity types you want to capture
