Salesforce Marketing Cloud: Export Lists

This job type allows you to sync Lytics audiences and profile data in real-time to Salesforce Marketing Cloud for targeting your email communications.

• Implementation Type: Server-side.
• Implementation Technique: SOAP API, Audience triggers.
• Frequency: Real-time.
• Resulting data: Each profile in the Lytics audience is added to the Marketing Cloud list as a Subscriber. User fields are included as Subscriber Attributes.

This integration utilizes the Marketing Cloud SOAP API to send user data. Once the export is started the job will:

1. If the Existing Users option is selected (see below), the job will generate enter events for every user in the Lytics audience. After these are processed via steps 2-4 below, the job will listen for enter/exit events and process them accordingly.
2. Ensure the user has an email field.
3. Package the user as a Marketing Cloud Subscriber. If fields are mapped (see step 8 of Configuration), they are added to the subscriber as attributes.
4. If it's an enter event, the user is added to the list using a SOAP "CREATE" method. If the user already exists, it will be added to the list and updated with the mapped fields.

5. If it's an exit event, one of the following will occur:

   • If the Unsubscribe on Exit option is NOT selected, the event will be ignored.
   • If the Unsubscribe on Exit option is selected, the user will be unsubscribed from the list via the process described here.

By default, Lytics exports the following field to Salesforce Marketing Cloud for the Export Lists job.
