Why Clients Want the Integration
Common Questions
1 Do you support Custom Objects?
YES if you’re using them for segmentation
YES if you’re using them for personalization
NOT YET if you’re sending to them as a Person & require tracking
2 Do I need MC User Licenses?
YES if the user wants to send emails
NO if the user wants to view tracking data
Don’t forget to leverage scope by user
3 Why am I running into API issues?
The Marketing Cloud Connector uses API calls during many
processes which contribute to their API limit. Reach out to Core to
see if a limit-raise is possible. Becoming a Connected App is on our
roadmap, and will allow us to raise limits.
4 Why are my sends failing?
Do your reports have a ContactID or LeadID populated? All reports
must have one of these fields.
5
Why are emails getting sent to old/
wrong email address?
Updates to email address in Salesforce do not automatically update
the email address in MC’s All Subscribers. Using the
EMAIL_DATA_SOURCE Business Rule is the current solution, but a
more permanent solution is on our roadmap.
Thank you
