Salesforce Marketing Cloud
The Salesforce Marketing Cloud source will be deprecated in January 2026. A new source will be released later this year as an alternative. Once the new source is released, you must plan to migrate to the new source by creating new account connections and dataflows before the end of January 2026.
Salesforce Marketing Cloud empowers you to manage and automate customer engagement across email, mobile, social media, and advertising—all from one platform. With tools like Email Studio, Journey Builder, and Audience Builder, you can create personalized campaigns and customer journeys tailored to your audience.
You can use the Salesforce Marketing Cloud source to connect your account and bring your data to Adobe Experience Platform.
Prerequisites
Before you can connect your Salesforce Marketing Cloud source to Experience Platform, you must ensure that the following permission scopes are provisioned to your Salesforce Marketing Cloud client ID and client secret combination:
campaign_readlist_and_subscribers_read
You can request for scopes by making a call to the v2/userinfo resource of the Salesforce Marketing Cloud API. See the Salesforce Marketing Cloud API Integration Permission Scopes document for guidance on how to request and compare scopes.
For more information on scopes including a list of their related permissions and behaviors, see this Salesforce Marketing Cloud REST API document.
Custom object ingestion is currently not supported by the Salesforce Marketing Cloud source integration.
IP address allowlist
You must add region-specific IP addresses to your allowlist prior to connecting your sources to Experience Platform. For more information, read the guide on allowlisting IP addresses to connect to Experience Platform for more information.
If you do not add the necessary IP addresses to your allowlist, your Salesforce Marketing Cloud account will not connect to Experience Platform.
