Adding Columns to a Synced Salesforce List

  • Updated

If you've added new fields in Salesforce, or skipped some fields when you first set up your sync, you don't have to rebuild your list from scratch. You can add columns to a Marketing List of synced Salesforce Leads & Contacts and pull in the new data without breaking the existing sync.

Why this matters: Keeping your synced list's columns aligned with what's actually in Salesforce means your segments, reports, and personalization stay accurate - no missing data because a field was never mapped over.

Use Cases

  • When you have added new fields in Salesforce and want that data in Act-On.
  • When you want to sync fields from Salesforce that you did not select in your previous setup.

Instructions

Update Salesforce List

  1. Go to Lists > Marketing Lists.
  2. Hover over the All Salesforce Leads/Contacts lists, and on the right, click the drop-down arrow.
  3. Click Import/Export > Salesforce.com Sync Setup.
  4. Click Add List Columns in the Pull from Salesforce section.
  5. Add new columns to your list.
  6. Click Save.
    • To add these fields immediately, click Run Now to begin syncing; otherwise, the fields will be imported on the next scheduled sync.
