Do leads in wait steps prevent them from getting synced to SalesForce while they are in the wait step?

We are experiencing slow and long sync times between marketo and salesforce. Thanks!

Hi Victoria, a wait step shouldn't prevent updates from syncing to SFDC. Having a slow/long sync time is typically related to having a lot of updates in each sync, or apex cpu timeouts or other failures.

It depends exactly what we mean here. Dory's right, but consider your workflow - is this workflow supposed to sync something? It won't until the Wait step is over and the Sync to SFDC is executed.

Thanks guys. The order of the work flow is Change data value - Add to SFDC campaign - wait step - other work flows.

Wouldn't a change data value (updating a field in SFDC lead record) require a sync lead updates? or even the "add to sfdc campaign" should force an update to salesforce?
