Marketing Cloud Account Configuration

Overview

You must create Marketing Cloud accounts to connect to data sources you want to use in your pipelines. You can configure your Marketing Cloud accounts in SnapLogic using either the Designer or the Manager.

  • Your private project: This folder contains the pipelines that will use the account.

  • Your Project Space’s shared folder: This folder is accessible to all the users that belong to Project Space.

  • The global shared folder: This folder is accessible to all the users within an organization in the SnapLogic instance.

Configure Marketing Cloud accounts using SnapLogic Designer

Drag a Marketing Cloud Snap to the Canvas and click the Snap to open its settings. Click the Account tab. You can now either use an existing account or create a new one.

Select an existing account

SnapLogic organizes and displays all accounts you can access, sorting them by account type and location. To select an existing account:

  1. In the Account tab, click the  icon to view the accounts you can access, and select the account you want to use.

  2. Click  .

Create an account

  1. In the Account tab, click Add Account below the Account Reference field.

  2. Select the location to create the account, select the Account Type, and click Continue. The Designer displays the Add Account window associated with the account type.

  3. Enter the required account details.

    1. Marketing Cloud Account

    2. Marketing Cloud OAuth2 Account

  4. Click Validate to verify the account if the account type supports validation.

  5. Click Apply to complete configuring the Marketing Cloud account.

Enter additional information on this account in the Notes field of the Info tab. This will help you and other users to understand the purpose of the account, especially if there are multiple accounts of the same type.

Configure Marketing Cloud accounts using SnapLogic Manager

You can use Manager to create accounts without associating them immediately with pipelines.

Accounts in SnapLogic are associated with projects. You can use accounts created in other projects only if you have at least Read access to them.

  1. In the left pane, browse to the project you want to create the account and click  > Account Marketing Cloud, followed by the appropriate account type. The Create Account dialog associated with the selected account type is displayed.

  2. Repeat the steps numbered 3 through 5 in the Create an account section.

Avoid updating account credentials while pipelines using that account are executing. Doing so may lead to unexpected results, including your account getting locked.
