Article last updated:

Salesforce Marketing Cloud is a powerful digital marketing platform that powers your customers’ journeys across every touchpoint—email, social, mobile, and web. This article will give you an overview of the Grow/Salesforce Marketing Cloud integration.

Connecting to Salesforce Marcketing Cloud

Before connecting Salesforce Marketing Cloud /ExactTarget to Grow, you will need to add an API integration to your installed package in Marketing Cloud. Note: to create an API integration, you must have the Installed Package / Administer permission. Salesforce has an article (linked here) that describes the process, which is outlined below.

  1. Log into your Salesforce Marketing Cloud account.
  2. Click on your username in the top right corner and open the Setup page.

  1. Under Platform Tools, expand the Apps section and click on Installed Packages.

  1. Click New to create a new package. Give the package a name and description, then Save.
  2. Click Add Component and select API Integration.
  3. Select Server-to-Server with Client Credentials Grant Type as the integration type since GROW uses server-to-server.
  4. Set the integration properties, including scopes and the redirect URIs for web and public apps. Use https://app.gogrow.com/api/data-source/auth/SalesforceMarketingCloud/callback as a valid redirect URI.
  5. Save the component.
  6. Navigate to API Integration in the Details page to get your Client ID, Client Secret, and Authentication Base URI.

Now that you have your Client Id, Client Secret, and Authentication Base URI, here's how to configure your connection within Grow.

  1. Click on the Data tab at the top left of the global navigation.
  2. Select Connections in the Data Library section.
  3. Click on the blue Connect button.
  4. Search and select Salesforce Marketing Cloud.
  5. Enter your Salesforce Marketing Cloud credentials in the pop up window.
    A green confirmation message is displayed if the connection was successful.
