Salesforce Marketing Cloud Setup Guide

Follow our setup guide to connect Salesforce Marketing Cloud to Fivetran.

Prerequisiteslink

To connect Salesforce Marketing Cloud to Fivetran, you need a Salesforce Marketing Cloud account.

IMPORTANT: The Salesforce API cannot return data for business unit accounts. When you create and configure the installed package, you must log in to the parent account you want to use for your connector. We are only able to sync data for the parent account and not its business units. You can check whether your current user is assigned a business unit by following the instructions in Salesforce’s Manage Business Units documentation.
