Salesforce Marketing Cloud is an extensive marketing suite that allows marketers to create complex omnichannel journeys that are more tailor-made and more interesting for the end user. 

💡 In case you missed it, we just released a connector with them.

Get in touch with us to set up this integration.
​

Once the integration has been set up on your account, you should see a new Batch Custom Activity in your Journey Builder, start by adding it to your Journey and click on it!

We let you either use Batch's interface or Salesforce's to create your campaign content. If you feel comfortable with Batch dashboard and feature, you can create a campaign there with Mobile Landings, personalization and previsualization, and save it as a draft.

Otherwise, you can choose "New campaign" to create new campaign content from scratch.

Input a unique campaign name for this push notification and choose on which would you like to send a push notification to.

If you've chosen the Template option on the second step, you will be asked now to choose for each app which draft campaign you wanna use for your push notification on Salesforce.

Note that it is also possible to override the draft content with new values if you choose the option in the bottom bar. Switching it on will bring you to the fourth step. Otherwise, you are done!

Input a campaign name for this push notification and choose on which would you like to send a push notification to.
