Configure account settings for linked Marketing accounts in Salesforce

Configure settings for your Marketing accounts linked to Salesforce, including managing users and account options.

Written by Bartlomiej Rekosiewicz

Learn how to access and configure settings for Marketing accounts linked to your Salesforce organisation. Manage account settings, enable synchronisation, configure suppression options, and link Salesforce users to Marketing users.


Access linked accounts settings

  1. In Salesforce, select the Configuration tab.

  2. A list of connected Marketing accounts is displayed under Marketing Accounts Settings.

  3. Expand the Settings drop-down menu next to an account.​


Account settings

Select Account settings to display the email account name, along with options to allow sending from Salesforce, enable synchronisation, and configure suppression options.

Setting

Description

Allow sending from Salesforce

This option is selected by default. It allows the use of the Send Campaign Wizard to send email campaigns directly from Salesforce. When not selected, you can only send campaigns from inside Marketing.

Enable Sychronisation

This option is selected by default. It allows the synchronisation of Marketing lists, campaigns and suppressions. When not selected, synchronisation does not occur.

Clear Address books

This option is not selected by default. If you choose to select this option, Salesforce can remove contacts from Email address books. Email address books will be cleared before synchronisation.

Update Contact 'Email Opt Out' on unsubscribe

Update Lead 'Email Opt Out' on unsubscribe

These options are selected by default. Any contacts or leads who unsubscribe from emails through Marketing have the Salesforce Email Opt Out field checked at the next scheduled sync for suppressions.

Any contact or lead who has this field selected directly in Salesforce will be added to the suppression list.

If you have multiple Marketing accounts connected, it’s common to leave these options deselected, so that an unsubscribe on one connected account is not synced to the others.

If you make any changes to these settings, select Save to confirm.


Manage users

Select Manage users to link Salesforce users to Marketing users, and edit user permissions.
