Salesforce Marketing Cloud

Business software

Built when you ask for it

Sync Salesforce Marketing Cloud subscriber, send, open, and journey data into your warehouse. Ingest builds this connector the first time a customer asks for it, then keeps the tables current in a data warehouse you own, on the schedule you choose.

The Salesforce Marketing Cloud connector syncs your marketing automation data into analytics-ready tables in your data warehouse. Pull subscribers, sends, opens, clicks, and journeys from the Marketing Cloud API, with Ingest handling auth, pagination, and retries so the tables stay current.

What you would get

Each of these arrives as its own table, kept current on the schedule you choose:

  • Subscribers
  • Sends
  • Opens
  • Clicks
  • Journeys

How it gets built

  1. Choose Salesforce Marketing Cloud when you set up a pipeline, with the warehouse it goes to and a schedule.
  2. Ingest reads Salesforce Marketing Cloud's documentation, and you choose the tables you want.
  3. Ingest builds the connector and tests it against Salesforce Marketing Cloud itself.
  4. A person at Ingest reviews and publishes it, and your pipeline starts on its own.

What you will need

OAuth 2.0 (client credentials via an Installed Package). Create an Installed Package with an API Integration component (Setup > Apps > Installed Packages) to get a client ID/secret.

You enter it once, in a form in Ingest, and it is kept in a secret store set aside for your organization.

Questions

Does Ingest have a Salesforce Marketing Cloud connector?
Not as a finished connector yet. Ingest builds it from Salesforce Marketing Cloud's own documentation the first time a customer asks, tests it against the real service, and lists it once it passes.
Which warehouses can Salesforce Marketing Cloud data go to?
Amazon S3, Google Cloud Storage, Azure Blob Storage, Apache Iceberg, Ingest Managed Lakehouse, MotherDuck, Postgres, Amazon Athena, Databricks, Redshift, BigQuery, ClickHouse, MySQL / generic SQL and Snowflake, in an account you own.
Do I need to write code?
No. Ingest builds, runs and maintains the connector. Someone with access to your warehouse connects it once, following a short guide.

Salesforce Marketing Cloud API documentation: https://developer.salesforce.com/docs/marketing/marketing-cloud/overview

Setting up the destination is its own short guide, one per warehouse or lake: Amazon S3, Google Cloud Storage, Azure Blob Storage, Apache Iceberg, Ingest Managed Lakehouse, MotherDuck, Postgres, Amazon Athena, Databricks, Redshift, BigQuery, ClickHouse, MySQL / generic SQL, Snowflake.

Other sources Ingest connects for SaaS teams: Asana, Jira, Airtable, Clockify, Facebook Ads, Frankfurter.
