People Ingestion Control for Marketo lets you control which Marketo people records (Leads and Contacts) are synced to Demandbase. Using Marketo Dynamic Smart Lists as a filter helps ensure that only the people relevant to your business are included.
When you create a Smart List in Marketo and select it as the ingestion filter, only the people records included in that Smart List are synced to Demandbase.
