Concept
You could previously post status updates to Facebook individual accounts but you can now also connect Facebook pages accounts via Pardot’s social connectors. The setup is the same as with individual accounts. Simply add another Facebook connector and authenticate with an account that has access to your page. When you edit the connector you can select which account to post as (an individual account or a page). To be able to post as both, simply set up two different Facebook connectors. Like our other social post connectors, this is available to Enterprise Edition and higher Pardot accounts.
This means Pardot’s social post integrations now include:
- Twitter accounts
- Facebook accounts
- Facebook pages
- LinkedIn individual accounts
We plan to implement updates to LinkedIn corporate accounts once those are generally available via LinkedIn’s API. Similarly, we will add Google+ post integration once their API comes out of read only status.

Is this open to all editions?
Hi Scorates, the social posts feature is available to Enterprise Edition and higher (e.g. Ultimate Edition) accounts.
thanks alot Adam…
I can only see LinkedIn connector on the social section under our accounts, how do we get Twitter and Facebook?
Hi Paul — the social posts feature is available to Enterprise Edition and higher accounts.
Adam, you know us Google guys…
We’re communicating with customers and prospects via G+ and expect it to really explode in 2012, especially for those businesses that have adopted Google Apps for messaging & collaboration.
Can you wire up Social Posts to work with Google+ too? Posting from pages is probably more important than posting from individuals, although we’d love to see either. I think the APIs is there to support it…

Thanks!
I’d love to but unfortunately the API is read-only right now. As soon as it allows for posting, we’ll be sure to implement some Google+ goodness!
