Salesforce Marketing Cloud Release Notes

November 2021link

We have added the event_type field as a primary key in the EVENT table. We don’t recommend a re-sync because this change resolves a rare discrepancy that may not have affected you and because the EVENT table can take a long time to sync. If you do notice data discrepancies in the EVENT table and must re-sync it, contact Fivetran Support.

March 2020link

We have implemented a new sync schedule to fetch data from the SUBSCRIBERS table. Every Saturday, the connector performs a historical sync. The additional Saturday sync improves the connector’s overall sync speed.

January 2020link

We now store timestamp data using the TIMESTAMP WITHOUT TIME ZONE type. Previously we used TIMESTAMP WITH TIME ZONE and when Fivetran received timestamp data that did not have timezone information from Salesforce Marketing Cloud, we incorrectly stored the timestamp data as UTC. Using TIMESTAMP WITHOUT TIME ZONE fixes this issue.

The following table lists the columns whose type we have converted from TIMESTAMP WITH TIME ZONE to TIMESTAMP WITHOUT TIME ZONE:

Newly created connectors will use TIMESTAMP WITHOUT TIME ZONE in these columns by default. To update existing connectors to use TIMESTAMP WITHOUT TIME ZONE, drop your existing tables and trigger a re-sync. If you wish to continue storing timestamps using TIMESTAMP WITH TIME ZONE, take no action.

November 2019link

The Salesforce Marketing Cloud connector now supports priority-first sync. Priority-first syncs fetch your most recent data first so that it’s quickly ready for you to use. Salesforce Marketing Cloud’s priority-first syncs fetch the most recent 14 days of data from the following tables:

• EVENT
• SUBSCRIBER
• TRIGGERED_SEND
• SEND
• EMAIL
• LIST_SUBSCRIBER
• LIST

To learn more, see our priority-first sync documentation.

October 2019link

We have started syncing email data from the Content Builder API into the EMAIL table. This lets us fetch data that is not available through the SOAP API.

This change adds the new column asset_type_id to the EMAIL table.

September 2019link

We have added support to authenticate Salesforce Marketing Cloud connectors using OAuth 2.0. Salesforce Marketing Cloud creates new packages with OAuth 2.0 as the only authentication option. Thus, all connectors that use these new packages must use OAuth 2.0 to authenticate with Fivetran.

When you create a new connector, you must now enter your subdomain in the setup form. You must also select New Enhanced Package to indicate that your package uses OAuth 2.0.
