Knak - Marketo Image Library Integration

Use the Knak image library but store your images in the Marketo image library

Updated today

This feature allows you use the Knak image library but store your images in the Marketo image library. Once setup you will be able to nominate a folder inside your Marketo instance to store all images uploaded from your Knak instance.
​
​Please note, this feature does not allow you to view and use images the you have uploaded directly to Marketo, you would need to upload the image via Knak.

Troubleshooting

For a user to be able to upload images to Marketo they will need to have the user role permission 'Use Marketo as User File System' activated.

This is not automatically added to the Administrator role and will need to be applied to one of your roles to use this feature:

Use Marketo as User File System role permission

Any images uploaded to Knak prior to setting up this integration will not be loaded into Marketo.

The user will need to re-uploaded the image after the integration is set up. If the image URL shows the host as client-data.knak.io, it is being pulled from the Knak CDN, not Marketo.

Images uploaded to the Knak image library will be hosted from Marketo. The "Created By" in Marketo will be updated when the image is added to the Knak image library.
