Data to export from Adobe Marketo Engage

• custom objects
• synced email and calendar links
• workflow rules
• saved reports
• campaign and automation records
• installed marketplace apps
• AI assistant configuration
• records for the catalog use cases: automation

How the catalogs differ

• Adobe Marketo Engage is flagged for custom objects. Jasper is not, so the map is a redesign rather than a field-for-field copy.
• Jasper is not flagged for: custom objects, campaign and automation records.
• Adobe Marketo Engage is flagged with an open API, which is the export path to test.
• Jasper is flagged with an open API for the load.
• Adobe Marketo Engage is cataloged as a fit for: Enterprise B2B ops.
• Jasper is cataloged as a fit for: Content teams that need brand voice and generation, not another MAP.

Phases

1. Export

   Take Adobe Marketo Engage as the source of truth for this pair. Export custom objects; synced email and calendar links; workflow rules; saved reports; campaign and automation records; installed marketplace apps; AI assistant configuration; records for the catalog use cases: automation. The B2B marketing automation incumbent Adobe still sells to enterprise ops.

2. Map

   Load into Jasper only after the field map is written down. AI content platform for marketing teams leaving blank-page work in the automation suite. Adobe Marketo Engage is flagged for custom objects. Jasper is not, so the map is a redesign rather than a field-for-field copy.

3. Prove a sample

   Jasper scores 8/10 on speed to live and 5/10 on migration friendliness. Run one sample load and one report the team already uses in Adobe Marketo Engage before a full cutover.

4. Cut over

   Adobe Marketo Engage scores 5/10 on migration friendliness and is marked high difficulty in the catalog. Keep Adobe Marketo Engage readable until the team is working in Jasper. Marketo is the engagement programs, scoring, and ops language a generation of B2B marketers learned. It is powerful, expensive to staff, and not AI-native. This is the incumbent content/automation teams leave for AI-native writing, personalization, or simpler stacks.

Adobe Marketo Engage to Jasper: what the vendor docs actually cover

Linked sentences come from vendor documentation opened for this page. Everything else is general guidance, not Adobe Marketo Engage or Jasper vendor documentation. This section does not move data and does not change the catalog outline above.

What to export from Adobe Marketo Engage

Marketo's bulk lead extract, last updated October 7, 2026, is a four-step job rather than a marketing-program backup. You POST a create call under /bulk/v1/leads/export/create.json, send the fields you want, send exactly one filter, and choose CSV, TSV, or SSV. CSV is the default when you omit the format. You then enqueue, poll, and GET the file. The docs say status updates every sixty seconds and ask you not to poll more often. Date filters on createdAt or updatedAt must cover thirty-one days or fewer and must be ISO-8601 without milliseconds. Some subscriptions reject updatedAt and smart-list filters with error 1035, unsupported filter type. A static-list filter returns whoever is a member when the job starts, not a historical membership. The API-only user needs Read-Only Lead, Read-Write Lead, or both. Blank values are written as null. The file does not contain campaigns, programs, or landing pages. The developer home page shows a last-update line of July 21, 2026. Adobe's Marketo product marketing URL timed out on this pass, so it contributes no list price. The catalog's null price and custom model match that gap.

How Jasper imports

Jasper's pricing FAQ, opened the same day, describes two commercial plans and no Marketo connector. Business is custom. Pro is fifty-nine dollars a month when the invoice is yearly, or sixty-nine dollars a month when the invoice is monthly. A trial is mentioned. A free plan is not, which agrees with the catalog's hasFreePlan false and hasFreeTrial true. The catalog's thirty-nine-dollar starting price does not appear in the FAQ. Nothing in the FAQ says Jasper ingests a lead CSV, a static list, or a Marketo program. Content seats are not lead records. This pair's mapping is general guidance about what the extract file is, not a Jasper field dictionary.

Object and field mapping

• Marketo lead fields you list in the create call are the only columns the file will have. Jasper's FAQ does not name a destination for them.
• A static list becomes a snapshot of members at job start. It does not become a Jasper campaign.
• Email history, program membership, and landing-page forms are outside the extract. Do not map them onto Jasper brand voice or templates.
• Nulls in the file mean empty Marketo fields. They do not mean Jasper rejected the row, because Jasper never received it in these docs.
• The thirty-one-day window means a long history is many jobs. Jasper is not the tool that stitches those jobs.
• Pro's fifty-nine or sixty-nine dollar seat is a writer seat. It is not a price per lead.

What will not carry over

• Campaigns, programs, and landing pages.
• Smart-list filters on subscriptions that return error 1035.
• updatedAt filters on those same subscriptions.
• A Jasper Marketo button. The FAQ does not describe one.
• The catalog's thirty-nine-dollar Jasper price.
• A Marketo list price from the timed-out product URL.

Cutover checklist

1. Grant the API user lead read access before the first create call.
2. Pick one filter. The create call does not take a stack of filters.
3. Keep each date window inside thirty-one days.
4. Poll on the sixty-second cadence the docs describe.
5. Expect nulls for empty fields.
6. Do not tell stakeholders the file replaces the program library.
7. Quote Jasper Pro as fifty-nine yearly or sixty-nine monthly, and Business as custom. Drop the catalog's thirty-nine from the conversation.
8. Keep Marketo as the system of record. Jasper was not shown as a database.

Common pitfalls

• Polling in a tight loop. The docs say status moves every sixty seconds.
• Using a smart list and treating error 1035 as a Jasper failure. It is a Marketo filter rejection.
• Assuming a static list is a historical export.
• Calling Jasper a lead warehouse because a migrate route exists in this catalog.
• Inventing an Adobe seat price after the product URL timed out.
