#Pardot B2b Marketing Automation36 人正在讨论

Hi!     I'm wondering if anyone has ideas for sending Pardot form submissions to Salesforce in an easy/comprehensive way for the Sales team to easily view the form submitted data? Currently, we're using default/consistent fields on a Prospect to capture data to limit the need for customization, but each form may require 1, 2, 3, etc. unique fields depending on the form type. This can lead to 1) a lot of custom fields to manage 2) Sales needs to view a lot of fields to find the correct data. I've seen ideas for using the 'Comments' field to append the entire form submitted data and have a running list of these submissions, but this can also get very messy. The goal would be to have a similar form submission data capture as the 'Notify User' email that gets sent from Pardot, but this would be in Salesforce. Am I maybe missing something? Thoughts?     Just looking to improve on what we're currently doing!    Thanks!

    sorry to bug you here again! 

     

    We're about to try and implement this and I have one question: what if there is no Lead/Contact ID at the time of the form submission? In other words, they're a new Prospect and not synced to Salesforce, but then 2 minutes later the record syncs to SF and we get an ID, but the FLOW already ran and created the form submission record. How would we related the form submission custom object to their record in Salesforce then?  

     

    Thanks!

    Are you using Email Content Builder? That should allow you to access it from both the Pardot/Salesforce side using Salesforce CMS.

Hello Trailblazers,  

I'm planning to migrate our Pardot Classic org to Pardot Lightning and have a few questions before starting:

  1. User License: Our Pardot users currently have a Chatter/Chatter Free-type license. What license is actually required for Pardot Lightning access — will Chatter-licensed users work, or do they need to be upgraded first?
  2. Pre-Migration Checklist: What key things should we check or prepare before starting the switch — any pre-migration steps people often overlook?
  3. Existing Assets: Will our current email templates, forms, prospects, scheduled email for campaigns, and email domains carry over automatically, or do some need manual migration?
  4. Sales Cloud Impact: Does this migration affect our existing Sales Cloud (Lightning) production data in any way?
  5. Classic Access Post-Migration: After Lightning is set up, will pi.pardot.com (Classic) still be accessible, or is it fully deprecated at that point?
  6. Nonprofit Cloud Compatibility: Is Pardot Lightning compatible with Nonprofit Cloud orgs? Does the setup/migration process work the same way as it does for a standard Sales Cloud org? 

 

Would appreciate hearing from anyone who's been through this migration — especially any gotchas not covered in the documentation.  

 

Thanks so much in advance for your help !!

      If you are referring to an "identity" license, these still work, but it still retains the limitations in that you can't access certain necessary features, like Salesforce campaigns. Ideally admins should have full salesforce licenses. 
    2. Pre-Migration Checklist: What key things should we check or prepare before starting the switch — any pre-migration steps people often overlook? 

      Normally what trips people up is getting the visibility of the app to the correct profiles.  Follow the setup instructions carefully.  Also the user/role mapping if you migrate Account Engagement user management to Salesforce is quirky.  You still map profiles to roles in AE, but there's a whole different mapping in Salesforce. This article has some good tips.  
    3. Existing Assets: Will our current email templates, forms, prospects, scheduled email for campaigns, and email domains carry over automatically, or do some need manual migration? 

      There's really no change. It's just looking at the same data in a different interface. However, going on lightning also gives you access to the new CMS, landing page and email builders (which also have to be configured and access given to your users). These are in addition to, not replacing, the current Pardot resources. 
    4. Sales Cloud Impact: Does this migration affect our existing Sales Cloud (Lightning) production data in any way? 

      Only that there's a new Account Engagement App for the people that use it. 
    5. Classic Access Post-Migration: After Lightning is set up, will pi.pardot.com (Classic) still be accessible, or is it fully deprecated at that point? 

      Yes. 
    6. Nonprofit Cloud Compatibility: Is Pardot Lightning compatible with Nonprofit Cloud orgs? Does the setup/migration process work the same way as it does for a standard Sales Cloud org?  

      I would think so but I am not certain of that.

Hi Salesforce Community,

I have a question regarding Marketing Cloud Account Engagement (Pardot) and the new email tracking regulations introduced by France (CNIL) and Italy (Garante).

As per the new guidance, individual email open and click tracking requires explicit user consent, even for B2B marketing emails. This means organizations may need to stop tracking recipients who have not provided separate consent for email engagement tracking.

My questions are:

  1. Is there any native feature or setting in Marketing Cloud Account Engagement (Pardot) that allows us to disable email open and click tracking only for specific recipients or countries (such as France and Italy)?
  2. Is it possible to control email tracking based on a Prospect field, Dynamic List, or country, rather than disabling tracking for the entire Business Unit?
  3. Has Salesforce published any official guidance or best practices for complying with these new CNIL and Garante requirements?
  4. If there is no native functionality today, what implementation approach are other customers using to remain compliant while continuing to use Pardot?

Any guidance, documentation, or recommendations would be greatly appreciated.    Thanks,  Akshaj

Hello community, 

 

Adding socials to an email footer was a painful challenge which I aborted after wasting too much time. It's easy using a rich-text block in the now-unsupported builder. Curious if anyone has an easy method that I may have missed. The method needs to be intuitive and suitable for an end-user who would typically use this tool.

 

New email builder: how to easily add socials

    Hi @Steve Peck The new Email Builder doesn't currently offer a built-in social icons component like the legacy builder. The easiest approach is to create a reusable Content Block containing your social icons and links, then save it as shared content so end users can simply drag it into their emails. Alternatively, you can use an image block with linked social icons or a custom HTML block if your organization allows it. Using shared content is generally the most intuitive and maintainable solution for business users.

Hi! 

 

Scenario: we create a Campaign tied to a form on our website. A Prospect fills it out and gets added to the associated Campaign with a Campaign Member status = Responded. From there, an Opportunity is created + the Campaign they were added to reports out under the different Campaign Influence Models (Primary Campaign Source + Pardot Models (First, Last, & Even). The Campaign met the auto-association rule settings.  

 

Then, say the same Prospect submits the same form a year later. They are already a Campaign member with that status. From what i tested the timestamp will update on the status, BUT Campaign Influence tracking by default wouldn't work here as the calculation for time frame with the auto-association rules is:

Opportunity Created Date − Campaign Member Created Date ≤ Configured time frame

 

The Campaign member create date now falls out of the

time frame auto-association rules, BUT the new submission did generate another Opportunity. Primary Campaign Source could populate here if that same Campaign is still the most recent Campaign member Create date for the Prospect. 

 

Thoughts?  

 

Thanks!

    Hi @Sam Vanrintel

    appreciate the response here!  

     

    The other item to note about forcing MCAE/SF to generate a new Lead (always) is that this will create duplicate records, which will split engagement data + can create a mess quickly (if Sales isn't merging records correctly)  

     

    Yeah... I think this is the last missing piece for Campaign Influence. Campaign Influence will never be perfect and to me it's used more for trends, but to me this is a big missing piece. I thought of updating the Campaigns regularly as well, but that creates more admin. burden/risk of missing one (I will note that sites can have many generic pages with request more information/consultation forms that sit for a while) + isn't the 100% solve as we could get Prospects submitting the same form multiple times before we create a fresh campaign and associate it to the content.  

     

    The Flow is a good idea to automatically create new campaigns for  "always on" campaigns. We'd just need to remember to associate the new campaigns to the applicable content in MCAE.  

     

    One idea I have is to create SF Tasks from MCAE. With that, use External Actions to create a File/Note on the task of the form submission + define the task subject line (use a Flow). Then, we align the task status field (or custom field) that Sales uses to work the "re-engagement". If the status/custom field reaches a certain stage, then an Opportunity is automatically created using a Flow + the task is related on the activity. With using naming conventions, we can report on Activity (Tasks/Subject Line) + Opportunities. We would then use both Campaign Influence + this Task reporting to get the full view.  

     

    Another possible idea would be to send the campaign information when the External Action is executed in MCAE and associate it to the SF Task using a custom field, then the campaign could be auto-populated on a custom field on the Opportunity if the specific status/custom field reaches a certain stage on the Task. With this set-up, the custom campaign field on the Opportunity works the same way as the PCS model, but we include a time frame on the custom field to make this more accurate as the PCS field takes whatever campaign is the most recent create date.

 I'm trying to extract historical prospect engagement data (Account Engagement / Pardot Engagement History) out of Salesforce for reporting/export purposes, and I can't find a documented, queryable object for it.  

 

Questions:

  1. Is there a documented Salesforce object that stores Engagement History records is queryable via SOQL?
  2. Is Object Sync (syncing Account Engagement data into standard/custom Salesforce objects) the only real workaround for SOQL access?
  3.  Can the Account Engagement be used instead to pull this data directly from Account Engagement, bypassing Salesforce entirely?

I am trying to create lead automation rules for a Pardot form to be used by our website and having issues. In the U.S. we assign our leads based on facility zip code which will be filled out on the site. Should I write a formula and can I create lead settings based off this custom object to assign it to the correct rep?

    For all the zip codes available do the automation get the formula and prepare the mapping doc which tells what goes where (assignment), this mapping doc should also tell you count of records that we need and then utilize custom metadata in salesforce to create fields and add the records(count). 

    Now when a lead comes in then => we do a logical match within the mapping records and assignment will follow from that.

I want to switch to LinkedIn Conversions API (CAPI) using the Salesforce connector. It looks like it works out of the box, but I wonder if there are any issues, when our current lead flows send leads to Pardot  (via Zapier) before they are synced with Salesforce.     Should I set it all up in Zapier or is it ok to use the Salesforce connector? Anyone with experiences to share?

    Using tools like Zapier to send conversions to the LinkedIn conversions API isn’t ideal. The reason is that although you can send the basic lead details like name, email, and phone number via Zapier, LinkedIn's conversions API (and the Meta conversion API, Google Ads, and all of the others) all basically need browser-based information like the LinkedIn click ID, the IP address, the user agent, and a whole bunch of other stuff to really get a good match rate between the initial ad click and the actual conversion that happened. 

     

    This is because if you're just sending name and email, there isn't quite enough information there. Millions of people have the same name and quite often the email address that they are entering into your form might not match the email address that they use for their LinkedIn account. If you combine the name and the email with the LinkedIn click ID, the IP address, and all that other stuff, then you get close to 100% match rate. 

     

    You can of course custom code this yourself to capture the LinkedIn click ID, the IP address, the user agent, and stuff in Salesforce and then send it back via Zapier, but there are tools like Converly which do this for you out of the box. They integrate with hundreds of different form builders, including Pardot and Salesforce web2lead forms, and they'll grab the name, the email, and phone number. They'll also grab the LinkedIn click ID, the IP address, the user agent, and send it all over to LinkedIn's conversions API for you

Does anyone know if it can be adapted and turned off for specific countries, or just turned off completely? There doesn't seem to be much published about it and Salesforce didn't notify me. https://thespotforpardot.com/2026/07/13/eu-privacy-email-tracking-and-account-engagement-what-customers-need-to-know/
