At Outfunnel, we believe sales and marketing work best when they work together — and connecting sales and marketing data is the smartest place to start. While Outfunnel already helps you capture lead sources and UTM codes for new web leads, sometimes you want to take things further — connecting your CRM data with Google Ads and Google Analytics for deeper analysis and more precise campaign management. 

We’ve done this at Outfunnel and I’m sharing our setup as a guide below.

Most guides about connecting Pipedrive to Google Analytics 4 or Google Ads barely go beyond the basics. They skip crucial steps and leave you guessing about the complete setup. This guide will walk you through the complete process: setting up custom fields and automations in Pipedrive, then using Zapier to send conversion events (including revenue data) to GA4 and Google Ads.

What’s in this article?

• Set up Pipedrive
  • Create stage flags using deal fields
  • Create deal filters for Zapier triggers
  • Create automations to update stage flags (fields)
• Connect Pipedrive to Google Analytics 4 with Zapier
  • Send a regular event to GA4 (e.g. Signed up)
  • Send a purchase event with revenue to GA4
• Connect Pipedrive to Google Ads with Zapier
  • Send offline conversions to Google Ads

Before you start

Your lead forms need to capture the GA Client ID and the GCLID at signup or during form submits. Most WordPress form builders support hidden fields for passing this data, but capturing it requires custom development. Use JavaScript to read these identifiers on the page and populate the hidden fields before submission. You will use the GA Client ID for your Pipedrive Google Analytics integration and the GCLID for attributing Google Ads conversions. This guide assumes you are already collecting both identifiers. If you are interested, we can share the JavaScript snippet we use and make our solution public.

You likely already have a workflow that sends website leads into Pipedrive, often through tools like Zapier or Make. Note that Outfunnel’s lead form integrations create a lead in Pipedrive without opening a deal. In this flow we use Zapier to convert each signup into a Pipedrive deal, and you can achieve the same result with Pipedrive automation if you prefer. This is important because this guide relies on Deals to send conversions to GA4 and Google Ads as the deal moves through different pipeline stages.

Set up Pipedrive

Start by setting up the fields you’ll use for automations and filters. We will be creating these fields under the Lead/Deal. You need two essential properties: “GA client ID” and “GA Click ID” for storing GA4 visitor and Google Ads click identifiers that I mentioned in the beginning. Navigate to your Pipedrive settings (https://your-company-slug.pipedrive.com/settings/fields) and add them as text fields if you don’t already have them. You can also use Person or Organization fields, but you would need to adapt the field references mentioned in this article accordingly.

Create stage flags using deal fields

Set up additional fields for each deal stage – we will use them for flagging the status of conversion events. Create the fields using the “Single Option” field type and add two options: “true” and “false”. These fields tell your automations and triggers when to take action.

At Outfunnel, we are using the following setup for the field namings:

• Data sent to Google Analytics (Signed up)
• Data sent to Google Analytics (CRM connected)
• Data sent to Google Analytics (Data synced or emails sent)
• Data sent to Google Analytics (Actively using)
• Data sent to Google Analytics (Deal won)

Each named after its corresponding deal stage. We have created separate fields for both Google Ads and Google Analytics because we send offline conversions to both Google Ads and events to GA4. We will be using Signed up and Deal won as examples in this article.

Create deal filters for Zapier triggers

Deal filters will trigger your Zaps. Compared with using stage-change triggers, this approach ensures your automations finish before Zapier activates, preventing missed or duplicate triggers.

Go to your main pipeline (https://your-company-slug.pipedrive.com/pipeline). Click the “Filter” button in the top right corner, then select “Add a new filter” at the bottom.

A modal window will appear. Select one of the deal fields you just created and set the condition to “false”. Name the filter after the property name to avoid confusion later. Repeat this process for each field you created.

Click “Save”. When you select this filter for your pipeline, you won’t see any deals yet. That’s normal as you need to set up automations to populate these field values when deal stages change.

Create automations to update stage flags (fields)

Automations create workflows that update your deal fields automatically. You’ll use them to change field values when deals move between stages. Remember those true/false options you created? Automations will set these values based on stage changes.

Follow these steps to configure your automation:

Trigger:

• Event Trigger > Deal > Updated. Apply trigger.

Conditions:

• Instant Condition > Deal stage is Signed up.
• Add custom condition > Data sent to Google Analytics (Signed up) is empty.
• Add custom condition > Deal status is not lost.
• Add new set (AND) > Add custom condition > GA Client ID is not empty (or Click ID is not empty when building for Google Ads).

Action:

• Action > Deal > Update deal fields.
• Select the field Data sent to Google Analytics (Signed up) and set its value to “false”.

Note: For automations targeting won deals, change “Deal status” to “is won” and remove the “Deal stage” condition under the Instant Condition block.

Click “Save” in the top right corner, and your Pipedrive automation is completed. The process seems complex initially, but you can duplicate this automation and modify it quickly for other stages.

Your completed automations page should look similar to this for all GA4 and Google Ads automations:

Connect Pipedrive to Google Analytics 4 with Zapier

Your Pipedrive setup is complete. You’ve created deal fields, automations, and filters. Now let’s connect everything through Zapier using those deal filters as triggers.

The process works like this: Deal stage changes → automation runs and sets deal field to false → deal filter finds new match → Zapier triggers using “Deal Matching Filter.” This sequence ensures clean processing without duplicate events in GA4 or Google Ads.

Send a regular event to GA4 (e.g. Signed up)

Create zap and add trigger

Create a new Zap and choose Pipedrive for the trigger. Select “Deal Matching Filter” for the trigger event. In the configuration step, choose the deal filter you created in Pipedrive.

Configure GA4

Add a new step and choose Google Analytics 4. Here’s where many people get stuck: GA4 offers two similar actions: “Create conversion event” and “Send measurement events.” Choose “Send measurement event.”

The Configure tab shows two fields: “API Secret” and “Measurement ID.” Copy these from your Google Analytics account:

1. Go to Admin (bottom left corner) → Data streams → Click on your data stream
2. Copy the Measurement ID from the top right and paste it in Zapier
3. On the same GA4 page, click “Measurement Protocol API secrets” below
4. Click Create, add “Zapier” as the nickname, then click Create
5. Copy the API Secret value and paste it into Zapier’s API Secret field

For the Client ID field, select the GA Client ID field from Pipedrive.

For the Events field, add this JSON: {“name”: “pd_signup”, “params”: {}}. Name your event whatever you prefer, but use lowercase with underscores instead of spaces. Otherwise, events won’t appear in GA4.

Add final step

Choose Pipedrive as the app and select “Update Deal” for the action. In the Configure tab, choose your Deal ID value, then scroll down to find your previously created field name. Select the field corresponding to the deal stage you’re sending events for and set the value to “true”.

Send a purchase event with revenue to GA4

Regular events are useful, but attributing closed deal revenue to marketing sources is crucial for tracking channel effectiveness. Purchase events accomplish this goal.

Duplicate the Zap you just created since you’ll use similar steps.

Edit the “Deal Matching Filter” step and choose the Pipedrive filter for won deals. Set the Deal status field to “won.”

In the GA4 step, choose “API Request” for the action event.

The Configure tab now shows different fields than the Measurement Event action. Fill these fields:

HTTP Method: POST
URL: https://www.google-analytics.com/mp/collect

Query string parameters:

1. measurement_id (same as in regular GA event)
2. api_secret (same as in regular GA event)

Body
Replace the <<>> placeholders with values from your Pipedrive deal fields:

{
  "client_id": "<<Your Client ID field from Pipedrive>>",
  "events": [
    {
      "name": "purchase",
      "params": {
        "currency": "USD",
        "transaction_id": "<<Your Deal ID from Pipedrive>>",
        "value": "<<Your Deal Value from Pipedrive>>",
        "items": [
          {
            "item_id": "<<Identifier for the product sold>>",
            "item_name": "<<Name of the product sold>>",
            "currency": "USD",
            "discount": 0,
            "price": "<<Your Deal Value from Pipedrive>>",
            "quantity": 1
          }
        ]
      }
    }
  ]
}

For the final step, update the deal field corresponding to Deal Won and set its value to “true.”

Connect Pipedrive to Google Ads with Zapier

You’ll now integrate Pipedrive to Google Ads to send offline conversions. This section reuses the same deal filters and true/false stage flags you created earlier and the only change is swapping the GA4 step for a Google Ads step.

Send offline conversions to Google Ads

Since you’re replacing only the GA4 step with Google Ads, duplicate one of your GA4 Zaps.

Update the trigger to use the deal filter you created specifically for Google Ads.

Remove the GA4 step and replace it with the Google Ads app.

Choose “Send Offline Conversion” for the Action event. In the Configure tab, select your GCLID field from Pipedrive.

Update the final “Update Deal” step by finding the corresponding deal field and setting the value to true.

Wrap-up

You have completed the setup to automatically send conversion events when deals progress through your pipeline. You are now able to setup custom audiences in Google Analytics 4, see revenue attribution across channels and help optimize your Google Ads targeting.

When managing sales and marketing data, things can go wrong in surprising ways (and often also predictable ways). 

We’re in constant contact with sales and marketing leaders and specialists and have observed the frustrating, funny, and downright chaotic challenges in data management. And let’s be honest, even the best teams occasionally find themselves with tangled-up data that’s not helping anyone. Here’s a look at the seven most common sales and marketing data management mistakes we see, why they matter, and how to get your data organized and working for you.

1. Forgetting to automate lead management: the “surely someone will follow up all good leads” trap

Imagine a bunch of fresh new leads pouring in from your latest campaign. Great news, right? But instead of flowing smoothly into your CRM, they’re stuck waiting for someone (probably already swamped) to enter them by hand. Without automation, following up on these leads promptly is unlikely to happen. By the time sales get to it, leads have either forgotten they signed up or even moved on to a competitor.

Entering leads manually also increases the risk of typos and erroneous copy-pasting. 

The fix? Make sure every lead goes straight into your CRM without anyone having to lift a finger. Automation tools can help capture leads directly from forms, social media, or emails, and assign follow-up tasks automatically. This way, sales reps aren’t stuck chasing “fresh” leads that are about as fresh as that forgotten avocado in the back of the fridge. (yeah, that’s an avocado there). 

Also, make sure to master the workflow automation features of your CRM. We’re pretty heavy Pipedrive users and love their workflow automation. If workflow automation is not available in the lower plans the time and misses saved may be worth the extra fees alone.

2. Missing lead source data: so, uh… we’re not really sure what’s working in marketing?

If you’re reading this blog then this may be preaching to the converted but knowing where your leads come from is kind of important. 

Without tracking lead sources, you’re playing marketing roulette. (And career progression roulette). Are your leads from that pricey ad campaign, from trade shows, or from all that content on the blog? Nobody knows! This leads to all sorts of messy budget missteps, like doubling down on channels that aren’t working or underfunding the ones that are.

Automated lead source tracking helps make this information clear and reliable. With the right setup, every lead that hits your CRM is tagged with a source. Imagine the power of knowing, “Hey, our podcast ad is actually working!” versus just assuming it’s a hit based on hunches. You can now say goodbye to marketing guesswork.

Auto-capturing lead sources is something Outfunnel can do for you but there are even better tools for that like Attribution app (simpler) or Funnel (more advanced). 

3. Having separate CRM and marketing databases: the “can’t we all just get along?” problem

If your CRM and marketing systems aren’t talking to each other, it’s like having a glass wall between your sales and marketing teams. You can kind of see them and get some information across with body language but there’s no working together as one team. 

Leads might be getting nurtured by marketing while sales are blissfully unaware—or worse, reaching out with a message that’s totally out of sync. The outcome? Confused customers, duplicated effort, and sometimes the dreaded accidental “double email.”

Integrating your CRM with your marketing tool(s) is a prerequisite to the happy place where everyone knows what’s happening with each lead. Once connected, all leads get the right message at the right time, marketing knows exactly when sales steps in. It’s smoother, easier, and honestly—just better for everyone (including your customers).

There are many ways to sync sales and marketing data but beware, not all of them are equally good. See my next point. 

4. Poor data integration: when “connected” doesn’t actually mean “synced up”

Even when you have your CRM and marketing systems connected, things can still go wrong. And it’s usually the case of picking the wrong tool for the job, or misconfiguration. 

We at Outfunnel often get compared to native integrations offered by various CRMs and marketing automation platforms. Some of these integrations are world-class but, usually, they’re too basic. For example, data only syncs one way, some data types can’t be synced, or there’s no visibility into what gets synced, and when. 

Similarly, while we love and use generic data integration tools like Zapier and Make for simpler connections like syncing new leads from a web form to your CRM, they’re not meant for syncing whole large databases – and we’ve seen people with some pretty gray hair who’ve tried. 

And then there are situations where the right tool is there but there are configuration errors. For example, you may want to sync all qualified leads from your marketing tool to your CRM and have mapped a field that’s required in the destination but missing in the source. This way, ready-to-buy leads can forever be stuck in the proverbial syncing waiting area. 

Some tools, like Outfunnel, highlight any syncing issues to help get data integration right on the first try. With the right tool and setup, you’ll avoid weird data gaps and keep all your contact info right where it should be: ready and waiting for your team.

5. Leaving sales in the dark on lead engagement: “cold calling” reimagined as “gold guessing”

Nothing slows down a sales call quite like the realization that the rep knows almost nothing about the lead’s engagement history. Without any context, sales reps end up guessing which message might stick and may even pitch products or features that the lead has already seen—or worse, didn’t care about. Imagine calling a lead who’s clicked every email about Product A only to pitch them on Product B. Yikes.

To prevent this, make sure sales can see what marketing has been up to, whether that’s email opens, link clicks, or even website visits. Having this kind of engagement data front and center allows sales reps to personalize their outreach in a meaningful way, so they’re not accidentally turning a warm lead into an ice cube.

Risking to sound like a used car salesman, Outfunnel can sync email engagement and even web pages visited right into your CRM. 

6. Poor database hygiene: “Do we really have this many Johns?”

It’s easy to think of database cleanup as “we’ll get to that later.” But a CRM full of duplicate contacts, outdated info, and half-finished records isn’t helping anyone. Duplicate records lead to double outreach (which annoys customers), outdated info confuses sales reps, and missing data wastes everyone’s time. We’ve seen cases where the same lead got emailed twice by two reps on the same day—not a great look.

Regular database hygiene is key to keeping your CRM organized. Schedule a quarterly “data hygiene day” where everyone tackles duplicates, updates contact info, and removes old or invalid leads. Most CRM tools have deduplication features or add-ons like Dedupely to help streamline this process, making it easier to keep your data in tip-top shape.

7. Limited real-time data visibility: “Why didn’t anyone see this before?”

If your team relies on monthly reports to know how lead generation is tracking, you’re essentially flying blind most of the time. By the time you see the data, any emerging trends are long gone. Real-time visibility, on the other hand, lets you spot trends as they happen—so if a new channel is driving leads, you can amp it up, or if lead flow suddenly drops, you can address it immediately.

We at Outfunnel get a couple of dozen leads per day so it’s not uncommon for me to browse the source and landing page data for all new signups to make sure we stay on top of what’s working – and what has stopped working. 

Setting up real-time dashboards makes it easy to track metrics like lead volume by source. This means you can react to trends in real-time rather than scrambling to figure out why things went sideways a month ago.

It’s a good day to start fixing your sales and marketing data management mistakes

From lost leads to messy databases, these common sales and marketing data management mistakes are fixable with the right setup and a bit of effort. Automating lead capture, tracking lead sources, integrating CRM and marketing systems, and keeping data clean are simple, actionable changes that can make a world of difference. At Outfunnel, we’ve seen these basic revenue operations fixes work wonders for our customers, creating smoother, more coordinated workflows and ultimately driving more sales.

So, take a look at your revenue ops setup and see if any of these challenges sound familiar. Fixing even a few can go a long way toward turning your sales and marketing data from a source of headaches into a powerful asset. And hey, the next time you find yourself calling a lead, you might just know exactly what to say.

We’ve had a limited Salesforce integration for a while already, and several of our customers are using it to connect lead forms to Salesforce. 

The key feature that’s been missing is deep integration between Salesforce and various email automation tools like Mailchimp and Klaviyo. We simply haven’t had the bandwidth to get around to building it. Until now, that is.

You can now connect Salesforce to marketing automation tools deeply and easily

We’re pretty excited to release our most popular feature for Salesforce customers. You can now use Outfunnel to deeply connect your Salesforce account with several popular marketing automation tools like Mailchimp and ActiveCampaign.

The integration lets you sync email engagement to Salesforce contacts records as Activities. This way team members have context on which leads have been engaging with marketing emails and are potentially more interested in hearing from sales. 

You can choose which activities you’d like to have synced to Salesforce: email sends, opens, clicks, bounces, and unsubscribes. 

When you first activate the connection we’ll also sync any email engagement from the last 30 days, a longer historical sync is available upon request. 

This integration is available for the following marketing automation apps:

• Salesforce and Mailchimp integration
• Salesforce and Klaviyo integration
• Salesforce and ActiveCampaign integration
• Salesforce and Brevo integration
• Salesforce and HubSpot Marketing Hub integration

Coming soon: sync contacts between Salesforce and marketing automation tools bi-directionally

Next up: the ability to make all Salesforce leads/contacts or a subset(s) available on your preferred marketing automation (or vice versa) platform along with your custom lead/contact and account fields and keep them in sync going forward.

This comes with comprehensive field mapping, automatic de-duplication and an easy way to monitor sync progress and fix any issues that prevent syncing

Finally, here’s a list of integrations we’ve been offering Salesforce users for a while already:

• Salesforce and Elementor integration
• Salesforce and Contact Form 7 integration
• Salesforce and Gravity Forms integration
• Salesforce and Facebook Lead Ads integration
• Salesforce and LinkedIn Lead Forms integration
• Salesforce and Wix integration

Welcome to the world of effortless data syncing between sales and marketing apps, Salesforce customers!

I’ve seen firsthand how smart Salesforce email marketing integration can make sales and marketing teams more productive. If you run a small business or a growing team, you want to close more deals. You want to spend less time on manual data entry and “selling in the dark.”

In this article, I’ll dive into eight popular email marketing platforms you can integrate with Salesforce Sales Cloud. I’ll also touch on pricing and how to choose the right platform for your needs. And yes, Outfunnel will come up too. We help companies sync data and track engagement between Salesforce and email marketing tools. I’ll explain how.

Why Bother Integrating Email Marketing with Salesforce?

If you’ve been in marketing long enough, you know that email is a powerful way to reach and engage your audience. But, without connecting it to your CRM—especially Salesforce—you’re only seeing half the picture.

Here’s why integration matters:

• Automate Lead Management: You can automatically add new leads from email campaigns to Salesforce, or vice versa. 
• Track Engagement: See who opened your emails and clicked links, all without leaving Salesforce. 
• Personalized Outreach: You can use email engagement data to personalize interactions.
• Better Reporting: Track what’s working (and what’s not) when you combine your sales and marketing data. 
• Overall, align sales and marketing teams: ensure both teams work with the same data, making your campaigns more effective.

8 Popular Email Marketing Platforms That Integrate with Salesforce

1. Mailchimp and Salesforce Integration

I don’t really need to introduce Mailchimp, it’s the OG of email marketing. Integrating it with Salesforce gives you a bit more muscle, allowing you to sync audiences and track campaign results directly in your CRM.

• Key Features:
  • Sync Mailchimp audiences with Salesforce leads and contacts.
  • View campaign performance metrics (opens, clicks) in Salesforce.
  • Automate new lead creation from Mailchimp sign-up forms.
• Pricing:
  • 1,000 emails/month: $13/month (Essentials plan)
  • 10,000 emails/month: $34/month (Essentials plan)

2. Constant Contact and Salesforce Integration

Constant Contact is solid for businesses that want to keep things simple. It’s great for small businesses, and when you integrate it with Salesforce, you can sync contacts and automate some of those tedious tasks.

• Key Features:
  • Sync contacts and leads between Salesforce and Constant Contact.
  • Track campaign metrics (opens, clicks) directly in Salesforce.
• Pricing:
  • 1,000 emails/month: $12/month
  • 10,000 emails/month: $55/month

If your business relies on regular email newsletters or promotions, this is a solid, affordable option.

3. Pardot (aka Salesforce Marketing Cloud Account Engagement)

Pardot is Salesforce’s in-house marketing automation tool. If you’re already deep into the Salesforce ecosystem and running a B2B operation, this is likely the choice for you. Pardot integrates directly with Salesforce (obviously) and offers advanced tools for lead scoring, nurturing, and campaign ROI tracking.

• Key Features:
  • Native integration with Salesforce Sales Cloud.
  • Lead scoring and nurturing based on email engagement.
  • Closed-loop reporting to track ROI from lead generation to deal closure.
• Pricing:
  • Starts at $1,250/month, regardless of email volume (includes Salesforce license and advanced features).

Pardot is robust, but let’s be honest, it’s not for small teams budgets. It’s best suited for enterprises and fast-scaling B2B teams.

4. ActiveCampaign and Salesforce Integration

ActiveCampaign is one of those platforms that takes marketing automation seriously. While it has a built-in CRM as well, many ActiveCampaign’s B2B customers prefer Salesforce’s more advanced CRM functionality. If you want something that can keep up with your complex workflows but still integrates seamlessly with Salesforce, this is a solid choice.

• Key Features:
  • Bi-directional sync between Salesforce and ActiveCampaign.
  • Create automated workflows based on Salesforce data.
  • Sync opportunity records to automate follow-ups in the sales pipeline.
• Pricing:
  • 1,000 emails/month: $29/month (Lite plan)
  • 10,000 emails/month: $125/month (Plus plan)

For businesses that need solid automation but aren’t ready to drop a grand a month on Pardot, ActiveCampaign is a great middle ground.

5. HubSpot and Salesforce Integration

HubSpot does a little bit of everything, from CRM to email marketing and beyond. The Salesforce integration ensures your leads, contacts, and deals are always in sync between platforms, helping you to build better workflows.

• Key Features:
  • Sync Salesforce leads, contacts, and deals with HubSpot’s email marketing features.
  • Trigger automated workflows based on Salesforce data.
  • Track email engagement metrics right in Salesforce.
• Pricing:
  • 1,000 emails/month: Free (Basic plan)
  • 10,000 emails/month: $800/month (Marketing Starter plan)

HubSpot is a great marketing automation tool but if you grow out of the feature set of the Starter plan, it can be a bit pricey. 

6. Campaign Monitor and Salesforce Integration

Campaign Monitor is another simple “just gets it done” platform. It’s not overloaded with unnecessary features—it just makes it easy to build beautiful emails and track results. With Salesforce integration, you can sync contacts and leads, and trigger campaigns based on real data.

• Key Features:
  • Sync contacts and leads between Salesforce and Campaign Monitor.
  • Trigger targeted email campaigns using Salesforce data.
  • Track email engagement (opens, clicks) right in Salesforce.
• Pricing:
  • 1,000 emails/month: $9/month (Basic plan)
  • 10,000 emails/month: $59/month (Unlimited plan)
  • Additionally, there’s a charge for syncing data between the apps, starting from $25/month 

Campaign Monitor is a good option for teams that just want to keep email marketing simple and effective.

7. Brevo (formerly Sendinblue) and Salesforce Integration

Brevo is known for its flexibility and cost-effectiveness. It’s not just for email—it covers transactional emails, SMS, and even chat. Integrating it with Salesforce allows you to automate personalized email campaigns using your CRM data.

• Key Features:
  • 2-way sync Salesforce contacts with Brevo email lists
• Pricing:
  • 1,000 emails/month: Free (Starter plan)*
  • 10,000 emails/month: $25/month (Business plan)*

Brevo offers great value for businesses that need more than just email marketing and are working with tight budgets. 

* The Brevo-Salesforce integration is only available as part of Brevo Enterprise plan, however. You may want to check out our Salesforce-Brevo integration if you’d like to connect the tools on any other Brevo plan.

8. Klaviyo and Salesforce Integration

Klaviyo is particularly loved by eCommerce brands that want to leverage customer data for more personalized marketing. The Salesforce integration lets you sync customer and order data between platforms to fuel more targeted campaigns.

• Key Features:
  • Currently, Klaviyo syncs one metric with Salesforce Sales Cloud: Became Lead.
• Pricing:
  • 1,000 emails/month: Free
  • 10,000 emails/month: $150/month

If you’re in the eCommerce world, Klaviyo is a powerhouse, helping you deliver personalized experiences at scale.

The limited native integration may put some customers off from using the Salesforce-Klaviyo combination, however. 

(If you’re open to using 3rd party integration platforms, you may want to check out our Salesforce-Klaviyo integration.)

How Outfunnel Bridges Email Marketing Tools and Salesforce

Alright, now to the fun part—Outfunnel. We know that syncing Salesforce with email marketing tools can be a pain. Maybe you’re using multiple platforms, or perhaps your integration needs are too custom for native integrations to handle. Outfunnel solves that. It creates a seamless, automated sync between Salesforce and your favorite email tools, like Mailchimp and ActiveCampaign.

• Key Features:
  • Automated contact syncing between Salesforce and email marketing tools. Just add leads to Salesforce and the right campaigns can start or stop automatically in your email marketing platform.
  • Track email engagement (opens, clicks) in Salesforce. This gives your sales team the full picture.

No matter what email marketing tool you use, we’ve got your back when it comes to syncing it with Salesforce.

How to Choose the Right Platform for Your Salesforce Integration

There’s no one-size-fits-all when it comes to email marketing and Salesforce integration. It all depends on your business needs:

• B2B vs. B2C: If you’re B2B, consider Pardot or ActiveCampaign for lead scoring and nurturing. B2C and eCommerce brands might lean towards Klaviyo or Brevo.
• Budget: Brevo and Mailchimp are great starting points if you’re on a tight budget. If you need advanced features and don’t mind spending more, Pardot or HubSpot might be for you.
• Complexity: The more advanced your email workflows and marketing automation, the more you’ll want tools like ActiveCampaign or HubSpot.

All in all, Salesforce email marketing tool integration is about more than just syncing contacts—it’s about improving efficiency and driving smarter campaigns. Whether you’re a small business looking for something simple (like Mailchimp or Brevo) or an enterprise with advanced needs (hello Pardot!), this list has something for everyone.

Still not sure? You may want to talk to a Salesforce marketing automation consultant instead.

And if you ever feel stuck trying to connect the dots between Salesforce and your email tool, Outfunnel is always here to make that process smoother.
