Configure Native Integration b/w Outgrow & Salesforce Marketing Cloud

Outgrow's native integration with Salesforce Marketing Cloud (SFMC) lets you seamlessly transfer leads and their data captured through Outgrow interactive content (quizzes, calculators, polls, etc.) directly to your SFMC account. This helps streamline your marketing automation and lead nurturing processes.

Benefits of the Integration

A. Real-time lead transfer: Lead data is instantly pushed to SFMC as soon as it's captured in Outgrow, enabling immediate follow-up and engagement.

B. Enhanced lead segmentation: SFMC will receive detailed lead information, including responses to Outgrow content, for more targeted and personalized campaigns.

C. Improved marketing ROI: The integration allows you to make data-driven decisions and optimize your marketing efforts by tracking lead behaviour and conversions.

Steps to Configure the Integration

A. Log in to Outgrow: Access your Outgrow account and navigate to the specific content piece (quiz, calculator, etc.) you want to integrate with SFMC.

B. Go to 'Configure': Find and click on the 'Configure' tab within your content piece. In the 'Configure' tab, look for the 'Integrations' option and click on it. Click on Configure, to configure an integration between Outgrow and Salesforce Marketing Cloud.

C. Provide SFMC Credentials: You'll be prompted to enter your Salesforce Marketing Cloud credentials, including your Client ID, Client Secret, and Authentication Base URL. Click on Authenticate With Marketing Cloud, to authenticate the integration.
