Checking the status of post outs

Many customers find that a weekly check to ensure alignment between systems is sufficient. |
Using the options below, determine the cadence and monitoring method that works best for your team depending on your volume and requirements.
There are several ways you can check the status of post outs:
- Compare the number of accepted leads in the Demand Acceleration Platform and the integrated system.
- Check the response content in a Post Out Log Report.
- Check the disposition codes in a Lead Report (if using an API integration to Marketo or Salesforce).
- Confirm that leads are displayed as Delivery Successful (if using an API integration to Marketo or Salesforce).
Below is an outline of each option. For system specific instructions and recommendations, see the relevant Monitoring your Lead Post Outs article.
