Marketo Engage (by Adobe) is an enterprise marketing automation platform known for sophisticated lead management, account-based marketing, and multi-touch attribution. It's a cornerstone of enterprise marketing stacks that require scale and compliance.
Cursive fills a critical gap in Marketo's funnel by identifying anonymous web visitors before they submit a form. This means your Marketo nurture programs can start earlier, and your Smart Lists can include high-intent prospects that would otherwise remain invisible.
When a visitor is identified by Cursive, here is exactly how that data maps into Marketo. No manual entry, no copy-pasting between tabs—just clean, structured records ready for your team to act on.
| Cursive Field | Marketo Field | What Happens |
|---|---|---|
| Lead.email | Creates or updates a Marketo Lead record by email for nurture enrollment | |
| company_name | Lead.company | Sets the company field on the Marketo Lead for ABM programs |
| pages_viewed | Lead.custom_field (Pages Viewed) | Stores visited pages in a custom field for Smart List filtering |
| intent_score | Lead.leadScore (or custom) | Adds to Marketo's native lead score or a custom scoring model |
| industry | Lead.industry | Populates the industry field for program segmentation and reporting |
| employee_count | Lead.numberOfEmployees | Sets company size for ideal customer profile filtering in Smart Lists |
