Elevate Your CRM Game with Marketo’s CRM Sync Dashboard

In today’s data-driven landscape, having the right metrics at your fingertips is essential for making timely decisions and optimizing operations. The new CRM Sync Dashboard feature in Marketo offers invaluable insights for B2B companies seeking to streamline data flows between Salesforce CRM and Marketo Engage. Here's a look at how this feature can make a tangible impact, who benefits from it, and how it aligns with future innovations. Core Value: Real-Time Sync Health for IT Admins For IT admins, real-time visibility into sync performance is invaluable. As a Marketo IT Admin, you want to track the sync backlog and throughput metrics to respond swiftly to issues and optimize data management during peak CRM updates. This feature was designed specifically to meet this need.  Key Features of CRM Sync DashboardSync Backlog Trend:This feature provides a visual overview of changes in sync backlogs over a five-day period. Each 4-hour interval is displayed on a graph, making it easy for IT admins to identify trends, understand peak sync hours, and detect potential issues. This data helps manage Salesforce-Marketo syncs, especially during high-traffic periods.Sync Throughput and Backlog by Object Type:The throughput and backlog status are broken down for each object type, such as Lead, Contact, Account, Opportunity, Campaign, and Custom Objects. Updated every 15 minutes, these statistics enable real-time monitoring of sync performance, ensuring that key data flows seamlessly between platforms. Real-World Use Case: Improving CRM-Marketing Sync EfficiencyImagine a B2B company running a high-profile email campaign with a critical deadline. As the marketing team gears up, they realize that certain CRM updates expected from Salesforce are delayed, affecting their campaign audience. The marketer promptly contacts the IT Admin, responsible for overseeing CRM sync processes, to investigate. With the CRM Sync Dashboard, the IT Admin can immediately diagnose whether a sync backlog or a recent surge in CRM activity is causing delays.By reviewing the average sync rates and performance metrics, the IT Admin identifies the root cause of the delay and can make ongoing adjustments to your sync humming. This might involve syncing only high-priority records or scheduling larger data transfers during off-peak hours to ensure future updates proceed smoothly. Thanks to this proactive approach, the campaign is back on track, and the company minimizes potential delays in marketing outreach.For more insights on maximizing the sync performance and troubleshooting sync delays, check out this troubleshooting guide. Provisioning: How Customers Access CRM Sync DashboardThe Salesforce Sync Dashboard feature is available to Marketo customers who perform native syncs with Salesforce. For SFDC-native environments, no additional steps are required—these insights are automatically integrated for immediate use, making it easy to monitor sync performance with minimal setup. For those interested, it can be found in the Adobe Experience League documentation here for setup and detailed usage instructions In SummarySalesforce Sync Dashboard provides a real-time solution for IT Admins and Marketing Ops teams to monitor, analyze, and optimize data syncs between Salesforce and Marketo. This feature stands to significantly enhance CRM sync management, ensuring that CRM data delays don’t hold up critical marketing campaigns. As future enhancements make this tool even smarter, Salesforce Sync Dashboard is set to become an indispensable resource in every data-driven B2B toolkit.  Have you tried out the dashboard?

Coming Soon - Updates to Native Marketo SFDC Background Synch

I’m happy to announce a that the current Native Marketo <-> SFDC CRM connector has a new update to the background synch which is now built on a modernized tech stack and will be available very soon.   What’s Changing Although the core functionality remains basically the same, this new version offers greater efficiencies in terms of speed and increased reliability. This version applies to the incremental ongoing background synch and not the initial bootstrap synch which is performed when customers initially setup and run the integration for the first time.   All standard entities like Lead, Contact, Account, Campaign Opportunity will be supported with this version. Other Salesforce entities like Custom Objects, Tasks, PMCF, Events and Activities are soon to follow in another up-and-coming release. Benefit As we know, bulk updates using Trigger Campaign Flow Steps have been a constant challenge triggering Salesforce platform errors like Lock Rows and CPU Timeout errors. With this new update, these errors should be greatly reduced and offer higher synch success rates overall. This particular functionality is part of the new version and will be made GA once its fully functional.   Some customers will experience immediate performance improvements upon transitioning over to the new version, possibly as much as 2-3x faster depending on their configuration and objects being synched.   Transition to the new version should be seamless to customers and do not require any migration or re-configuration of the current native connector or to field mappings. Scope This version only applies to Salesforce Integrations and does not include MS Dynamics at this time, but rest assured it is on the Roadmap and will be communicated to customers as soon as we have a firm timeframe. Documentation revisions are in progress to provide more details on the new version and will be published at the time of the rollout.   Timeframe I’m sure you’re all wondering when, so I’m happy to share that availability of the new version will be available to customers sometime in Q1 of 2025 and will be rolled out to customers incrementally. Update: The availability timeframe for this feature has now been changed to Q2 2025.    Multi-CRM Integration There are some customers who require a Multi-CRM integration with Marketo Engage as part of their overall marketing strategy. Adding an additional CRM source can be achieved using a 3rd party solution offered by Vertify. More information on this solution can be found here https://vertify.com/integrations/marketo/
