Overview
The Engagement Cloud for Salesforce connector allows you to send Engagement Cloud Email Campaigns to your leads and contacts and to view Email Campaign data. This functionality is available in the Engagement Cloud for Salesforce app.
Email Campaigns must always be created in Engagement Cloud and synchronised to Salesforce. After an Email Campaign is sent, it's synchronised at regular intervals so that you can view Email Campaign data, such as the number of email opens, in Salesforce.
These articles assume that the Engagement Cloud for Salesforce installation articles have been followed to install, configure, grant user permissions, and modify page layouts for the primary Engagement Cloud account.
A Frequently asked questions article has been designed to help you with specific processes.
