# Salesforce Marketing Cloud

You can use the Salesforce Marketing Cloud connector from the CData Sync application to capture data
from Salesforce Marketing Cloud and move it to any supported destination. To do so, you need to add
the connector, authenticate to the connector, and complete your connection.

## Add the Salesforce Marketing Cloud Connector

To enable Sync to use data from Salesforce Marketing Cloud, you first must add the
connector, as follows:

<ol>
  <li>Open the **Connections** page of the Sync dashboard.</li>
  <li>Click **Add Connection** to open the **Select Connectors** page.</li>
  <li>Click the **Sources** tab and locate
  the **Salesforce Marketing Cloud** row.</li>

  <li>
    Click the **Configure Connection** icon at the end of that row to open
    the **New Connection** page. This action opens the
    **Add Connection** dialog.

    **Note:** If the **Configure Connection** icon is not
    available, click the **Download Connector** icon to install
    the Salesforce Marketing Cloud connector.
  </li>

  <li>Enter a name for your connection in the **Add Connection** dialog.</li>
  <li>Click **Add** to open the **Settings** tab for your connector.</li>
</ol>

For more information about installing new connectors, see
[Connections](https://docs.sync.cdata.com/26.4/en/connections/connections.md).

## Authenticate to Salesforce Marketing Cloud

After you add the connector, you need to set the required properties.

**Subdomain:** Enter the subdomain of your Salesforce Marketing Cloud API.

Salesforce Marketing Cloud supports two API schema types. Select your schema below to proceed to the relevant section for your schema.

* **SOAP:** Navigate to [SOAP API Authentication Methods](#soap-api-authentication-methods) to select an authentication scheme.
* **REST:** Navigate to [REST API Authentication Methods](#rest-api-authentication-methods) to select an authentication scheme.

## SOAP API Authentication Methods

Select your authentication scheme for the SOAP API:

* [**OAuth**](#oauth-soap)
* [**OAuth Client**](#oauth-client-soap)
* [**Basic**](#basic-soap)

### OAuth

To connect with OAuth custom credentials, specify the following properties:

<ul><li>**Auth Scheme:** Select **OAuth**.</li>
<li>**OAuth Client Id:** Enter the client Id that you were assigned when you registered your application with an OAuth authorization server.</li>
<li>**OAuth Client Secret:** Enter the client secret that you were assigned when you registered your application with an OAuth authorization server.</li></ul>

After you specify the authentication scheme, [complete the remaining steps](#complete-your-connection) for establishing your connection.

### OAuth Client

To connect with an OAuth client, specify the following properties:

* **Auth Scheme:** Select **OAuthClient**.
* **OAuth Client Id:** Enter the client Id that you were assigned when you registered your application with an OAuth authorization server.
* **OAuth Client Secret:** Enter the client secret that you were assigned when you registered your application with an OAuth authorization server.

After you specify the authentication scheme, [complete the remaining steps](#complete-your-connection) for establishing your connection.

### Basic

To connect with your user credentials, set the following properties:

<ul><li>**Auth Scheme:** Select **Basic**.</li>
<li>**User:** Enter the username that you use to authenticate to your Salesforce Marketing Cloud account.</li>
<li>**Password:** Enter the password that you use to authenticate to your Salesforce Marketing Cloud account.</li></ul>

After you specify the authentication scheme, [complete the remaining steps](#complete-your-connection) for establishing your connection.

## REST API Authentication Methods

Select your authentication scheme for the REST API:

* [**OAuth**](#oauth-rest)
* [**OAuth Client**](#oauth-client-rest)

### OAuth

To connect with OAuth custom credentials, specify the following properties:

<ul><li>**Auth Scheme:** Select **OAuth**.</li>
<li>**OAuth Client Id:** Enter the client Id that you were assigned when you registered your application with an OAuth authorization server.</li>
<li>**OAuth Client Secret:** Enter the client secret that you were assigned when you registered your application with an OAuth authorization server.</li></ul>

After you specify the authentication scheme, [complete the remaining steps](#complete-your-connection) for establishing your connection.

### OAuth Client

To connect with an OAuth client, specify the following properties:

* **Auth Scheme:** Select **OAuthClient**.
* **OAuth Client Id:** Enter the client Id that you were assigned when you registered your application with an OAuth authorization server.
* **OAuth Client Secret:** Enter the client secret that you were assigned when you registered your application with an OAuth authorization server.

After you specify the authentication scheme, [complete the remaining steps](#complete-your-connection) for establishing your connection.

## Complete Your Connection

To complete your connection:

1. (**For the REST API only**) For **User Legacy Authentication**, select whether you want the connection to be made to the Salesforce Marketing Cloud REST API using legacy authentication. By default, the **Enable** checkbox is not selected.
2. Define advanced connection settings on the **Advanced** tab. (In most cases, though, you should not need these settings.)
3. If you authenticate with OAuth, click **Connect to Salesforce Marketing Cloud** to connect to your Salesforce Marketing Cloud account.
4. Click **Create & Test** to create your connection.
