Salesforce Pardot Connector

Summary

The Salesforce Pardot connector establishes access to Salesforce Pardot.

Important

We recommend using the Salesforce Pardot v2 connector to connect to Salesforce Pardot as it improves the usability of the connection configuration UI and allows for additional configuration properties.

The Salesforce Pardot connector provides an interface for creating a Salesforce Pardot connection, the foundation used for generating instances of Salesforce Pardot activities. These activities, once configured, interact with Salesforce Pardot through the connection.

The Salesforce Pardot connector is accessed from the design component palette's Connections tab (see Design Component Palette).

Note

This connector can be used only with Private Agents. In addition, it is a Connector SDK-based connector, which may be referred to by Jitterbit when communicating changes made to connectors built with the Connector SDK.

Connection Documentation

In addition to the Salesforce Pardot connection, see the comprehensive Salesforce Pardot connection details page. Configuration details such as these are included on that page:

  • Getting Started: Initial steps for establishing a connection.
  • Advanced Features: User-defined views and SSL configuration.
  • Data Model: The data model that the connector uses to represent the endpoint.
  • Advanced Configurations Properties: Properties that can be defined to configure a connection for both basic and advanced configurations.

Prerequisites and Supported API Versions

The Salesforce Pardot connector requires the use of an agent version 10.1 or later. These agent versions automatically download the latest version of the connector when required.

This connector requires the use of a Private Agent.

Troubleshooting

If you experience issues with the Salesforce Pardot connector, these troubleshooting steps are recommended:

  1. Click the Test button in the connection configuration to ensure the connection is successful and to ensure the latest version of the connector is downloaded to the agent (unless using the Disable Auto Connector Update organization policy).

  2. Check the operation logs for any information written during execution of the operation.

  3. Enable operation debug logging for Private Agents to generate additional log files and data.

  4. Enable connector verbose logging for this connector using this specific configuration entry of logger name and level:

    <logger name="org.jitterbit.connector.verbose.logging.SalesforcePardot" level="TRACE"/>

  5. Check the agent logs for more information.
