Categories on the Data sources page group all available platforms. Use a search to find the required one.

Step 2. Click on the Salesforce Marketing Cloud tile.

Step 3. To authorize your account you need to fill in the required fields below following steps 3.1 - 3.9:

  • Client ID
  • Client Secret
  • Authentication Base URI

Step 3.1. Log in to Marketing Cloud and make sure you have the correct permissions to create an installed package. In the top right corner, you will see your name, click on it and choose Setup in the dropdown menu. In the setup, you will see a menu to the left. Under Platform Tools click on the heading called Apps and then select Installed Packages.

Step 3.2. Now you get a New button in the top left corner, that will allow you to create a new installed package. Click on the new button to get started with the package.

Step 3.3. In the pop-up give your installed package a name and possibly a description. Once done click Save.

Step 3.4. Now your installed package has been created, but we need to add a component, which will give us the keys we need. So click on the Add Component to get started on that.

It’s a step by step guide to set up the component and the first we have to do is define the type. Go ahead and select the option API Integration and click Next.
