If you already have your assignment logic set up in salesforce.com and do not want to recreate it in Pardot, you can now simply assign prospects via salesforce.com’s Active Assignment Rule. You can do this via a Pardot automation rule, form or landing page completion action, or a manual assignment.
Pardot pushes the record up without an owner, salesforce.com decides on the assignee based on the logic you have previously set up, Pardot then receives the new ownership information.
This is also a good option for clients who want to literally push all prospects over to salesforce.com (Pardot does not do this by default) and let the CRM sort out ownership.
Notes
- If you do not have an active assignment rule set up in salesforce.com but still try to use this option, the records will be assigned to the connector user (the default owner when there is an ownership conflict).
This is great, thanks for efforts to make the integration easier!
These kind of innovations are EXACTLY why I switched to Pardot. This is what we need to be successful in business. Thanks for being so avant garde. I also need to know all of my prospects grades from elementary school.
LOL.
April Fools!!!
You guys are really pushing the bounds of technology (and humor). Seriously, will filters work with this feature?
You guys are hilarious! That photo with the helicopters looks really legit. Is that you in that pic?
Woot! I have been anxiously awaiting this new feature! We have an awful problem, always calling our prospects when they our asleep – hopefully this new personal tracking feature will help alleviate that problem.
Thanks!

Must be an April Fool’s joke

No Problem!

(was actually responding to the April Fool’s post)
Next months announcements: google maps connector; iphone app, with live feeds into contacts; air traffic control connector?
Ha — I like where your head is at! Nice enhancements!
Does this also work with SugarCRM?
Many thanks,
Patrick
Hi Patrick. Not yet, unfortunately. Salesforce.com and SugarCRM each have their own semi-proprietary way of doing triggers and assignments. What works for one won’t work for the other. We’re looking into rolling this out across all of our CRM connectors but unfortunately have to do one at a time.
Thank you for your update and help Adam and team!
