Syncing Unsubscribes with Salesforce syncing-unsubscribes-with-salesforce
If you want to sync unsubscribes with an opt out field in Salesforce, you can use the Salesforce unsubscribe sync.
Requirements for Unsubscribes to Sync to Salesforce requirements-for-unsubscribes-to-sync-to-salesforce
- Unsubscribe Sync must be enabled (for nightly sync)
- Opt Out field must be installed in Salesforce
- Person records in Marketo Sales must have a Salesforce ID
Push Unsubscribes
When an unsubscribe is collected in Marketo Sales, we push it to Salesforce in real-time and update either of the Opt Out fields you have selected to sync with. If you’ve disabled the Salesforce sync, we will still push the unsubscribe over to the email opt out.
Unsubscribe Sync
When you’ve enabled the unsubscribe sync (Step 3 below), you’ll be turning on the nightly sync. The sync occurs once a day around 8:00 pm PST. It will bidirectionally sync all unsubscribes in Marketo Sales with the Opt Out field in Salesforce.
