Salesforce add-on

This topic is for administrators and developers with administration access rights in Salesforce.

With the Salesforce add-on, you can send mailings from Salesforce, and use contact and lead data to automatically personalize the content. You can transfer customer-specific fields (up to the third level) to recipient lists, and personalize salutations for leads and contact owners. After the mailing is sent, you receive response data such as openings, clicks, outbounces, direct replies and unsubscriptions for each recipient.

The following features are supported for Enterprise, Unlimited, and Performance Editions:

  • Campaign management.
  • Transfer of recipient data.
  • Transfer of response data: Openings, clicks, direct replies.
  • Synchronization of unsubscriptions and bounces.
  • Support for contacts, leads, and personal accounts.
