Salesforce Marketing Cloud
Push Signal events as Marketing Cloud Engagement events (Interaction API) to trigger Journey Builder email and SMS journeys, keyed by ContactKey.
Datafly Signal delivers first-party events to Salesforce Marketing Cloud server-to-server from infrastructure you control, using a pre-built blueprint that maps your event schema to the payload Salesforce Marketing Cloud expects.
Why route Salesforce Marketing Cloud through Datafly Signal
Profiles update from the server, not the browser
Events reach Salesforce Marketing Cloud even when a tracker blocker or a failed page unload would have dropped a client-side call, so the profile reflects what actually happened.
Token lifecycle is handled for you
Signal obtains and refreshes the OAuth credentials Salesforce Marketing Cloud requires, so nothing expires quietly in the middle of a campaign.
One consent decision governs every destination
Salesforce Marketing Cloud is gated by the same consent state as the rest of your stack, so a withdrawal applies everywhere at once.
What ships in the blueprint
Mapped events
generate_leadidentifypurchaseVertical presets
Retail. Each preset starts from a working configuration for that vertical rather than a blank field map.
Full field mappings, configuration fields, and troubleshooting are in the Salesforce Marketing Cloud documentation.
Frequently asked questions
Does Datafly Signal integrate with Salesforce Marketing Cloud?
Yes. Datafly Signal delivers first-party events to Salesforce Marketing Cloud server-to-server from infrastructure you control, using a pre-built blueprint that maps your event schema to the payload Salesforce Marketing Cloud expects. The integration is included in every deployment at no additional cost.
How is server-side Salesforce Marketing Cloud tracking different from the Salesforce Marketing Cloud tag?
The Salesforce Marketing Cloud tag runs in the visitor's browser, so it is subject to ad blockers, tracking prevention, and page-unload races. Signal collects the event through a first-party endpoint on your own domain and delivers it to Salesforce Marketing Cloud from your server, so delivery does not depend on browser conditions.
Which events can Signal send to Salesforce Marketing Cloud?
The blueprint ships with mappings for generate_lead, identify, purchase. Any event in your schema can be mapped to Salesforce Marketing Cloud through pipeline configuration without a code change.
Do I need to keep the Salesforce Marketing Cloud tag on my site?
No. Signal delivers to Salesforce Marketing Cloud from the server, so no client-side Salesforce Marketing Cloud script is required on your site.
