Salesforce Marketing Cloud
Connecting the platforms

Salesforce Marketing
Cloud integration

Connecting the website to lifecycle campaigns already running.

A Salesforce Marketing Cloud integration connecting your website to lifecycle email and campaign infrastructure already running in SFMC, so website behaviour and lead data feed campaigns accurately.

The technology
What is included

What a Salesforce Marketing
Cloud integration involves

What it involves

Companies running SFMC at scale often have a website that was built separately from the marketing infrastructure, meaning behavioural data and lead capture do not reach the campaigns that depend on them, or reach them inconsistently.

What we deliver

Form and lead data integration with SFMC, behavioural tracking feeding campaign triggers where consent allows, consistency across markets where SFMC instances vary, and verification that data actually flows correctly.

Built to hand control back to marketing

We build and maintain the technical connection between the website and SFMC so the campaigns and journeys stay entirely in your marketing team’s hands — the platform they already operate, working through an integration built for them rather than around them.

SFMC integration by scale
Who needs it

What a Salesforce Marketing
Cloud integration has to handle by scale

The integration complexity differs by scale and market spread. A Salesforce Marketing Cloud integration starts there.

Integration process
Four stages

How we build a Salesforce
Marketing Cloud integration

Four stages. A Salesforce Marketing Cloud integration is built for reliable, consent-aware data flow.

REQUIREMENTS
01
01

What data needs to flow, and to which instance

We establish what data needs to reach SFMC, and for multi-instance setups, exactly which instance each piece of data should route to.

What we establish

What data genuinely needs to reach SFMC and why, which specific instance or business unit each piece of data belongs to when you run a multi-market setup, and how fields map so a lead lands correctly rather than in whichever instance happens to catch it first.

Result

A clear integration scope matched to your actual SFMC architecture, rather than a single generic connection that works for the simplest case and breaks down once a second market or business unit is involved.

FORM AND LEAD INTEGRATION
02
02

Reliable capture, correctly routed

We build form and lead integration that reliably reaches the correct SFMC instance and business unit with accurate field mapping.

What we build

The form-to-SFMC connection, routing logic that sends each submission to the correct instance and business unit rather than a default one, and fallback handling so a temporary connection issue does not simply drop the lead.

Result

Lead data that reliably reaches the right instance and business unit in SFMC, which matters more than raw delivery when a multi-market setup means the wrong destination is as bad as no delivery at all.

BEHAVIOURAL TRACKING
03
03

Feeding triggers, respecting consent

We build behavioural tracking that feeds SFMC campaign triggers only within what the visitor has actually consented to.

What we build

Behavioural tracking gated strictly by actual consent status, so no signal reaches SFMC before a visitor has agreed to it, feeding trigger data into SFMC journeys built on data you can defend, not data collected first and rationalised afterward.

Result

Campaign triggers built entirely on data collected within your consent framework, so the automated journeys running off that data do not become the weak point in an otherwise compliant setup.

VERIFICATION
04
04

Confirmed working across every instance

We test and verify the integration for every relevant SFMC instance, rather than assuming a single test confirms the whole setup.

What we check

End-to-end testing repeated for every relevant SFMC instance individually, since a connection working in one business unit does not guarantee it works in another, plus ongoing monitoring across all of them rather than the one that was tested at launch.

Result

A connection your marketing team can rely on across every market and instance, verified individually rather than assumed to generalise from a single successful test.

Salesforce Marketing Cloud integration questions

What comes up when connecting a website to SFMC.

Do you manage our SFMC campaigns and journeys?

No, we build and maintain the technical connection between your website and Salesforce Marketing Cloud – data extensions, triggered sends, and journey entry events. Your marketing team or agency designs and runs the campaigns and journeys inside SFMC itself. When a journey needs a new trigger event from the website, we implement that technical piece and hand the journey logic back to your team.

Can this work across multiple SFMC instances?

Yes, and for multi-market pharmaceutical groups it typically needs to. We build integration logic that routes each submission or event to the correct SFMC business unit based on region, brand, or language, rather than relying on one generic connection for every market. This matters most when business units have separate data extensions or subscriber lists that must stay distinct.

How is consent handled for behavioural triggers?

Tracking that feeds SFMC behavioural triggers only fires after the relevant consent category has been granted, using the same consent framework as the rest of the site. A visitor who declines tracking consent will not trigger a behavioural journey, though they can still complete direct actions like form submissions. See GDPR and consent for how we structure that consent foundation.

Is this similar to a HubSpot integration?

Conceptually, yes – both integrations connect your website’s forms and tracking to a marketing automation platform while leaving campaign design to your team. The specific mechanics differ: SFMC’s data extensions and journey builder work differently from HubSpot’s workflows and lists, so the technical connection is built separately for each. See HubSpot integration for the equivalent approach on that platform.
