export const title_2 = "Salesforce Marketing Cloud";

export const title_1 = "Salesforce Marketing Cloud";

export const title_0 = "Salesforce Marketing Cloud";

## Setup Guide

Follow these steps to connect Salesforce Marketing Cloud to your Connect AI account:

<Steps>
  <Step>
    Open the **Sources** page of the Connect AI navigation menu.
  </Step>

  <Step>
    Click **+ Add Connection** in the upper-right corner.
  </Step>

  <Step>
    Type *Salesforce Marketing Cloud* into the search field, then click the data source name.
  </Step>

  <Step>
    On the **Basic Settings** tab of the new connection, enter a connection name or keep the default name.
  </Step>

  <Step>
    Select a **Schema** of either **SOAP** or **REST**.
  </Step>

  <Step>
    Enter a **Subdomain**. Your subdomain is specified in the Authentication Base URL. For example, *[https://SUBDOMAIN.auth.marketingcloudapis.com](https://SUBDOMAIN.auth.marketingcloudapis.com)*.
  </Step>
</Steps>

## Authentication Methods

<Tabs>
  <Tab title="OAuth">
    <Steps>
      <Step>
        To use this data source, you must supply a **Callback URL** when setting up your OAuth app. This is sometimes referred to as a 'Redirect URL'. On Connect AI, this is marked as `https://oauth.cdata.com/oauth/`. Use this when you configure your OAuth app on Salesforce Marketing Cloud.
      </Step>

      <Step>
        Enter the following information:

        * **OAuth Client Id**—assigned when you registered your Salesforce Marketing Cloud account for OAuth.
        * **OAuth Client Secret**—for your Salesforce Marketing Cloud account for OAuth.
      </Step>

      <Step>
        At the top of the Connect AI **Add {title_0} Connection** page, click **Save & Test**.

        * If the connection test succeeds, a **Connection successfully saved** message appears, indicating that your connection has been created. The **Status** on the **Edit Connection** page also changes to **Authenticated**. View the data model of your successful connection in the right pane of the **Edit Connection** page, in the **Data Model** tab.
        * If the connection test fails, ensure that you entered your login information correctly with no stray spaces or other characters. Connect AI displays error messages under the required fields with missing data. Some data sources require that you sign in directly to the source website. If you did not, an error message appears under the **Sign in** button. Correct the errors and try again.
        * Unsuccessful connections are saved as drafts and have a **Status** of **Not Authenticated**. You can return to the connection and authenticate it later.
      </Step>
    </Steps>
  </Tab>

  <Tab title="OAuthClient">
    <Steps>
      <Step>
        Enter the following information:

        * **OAuth Client Id**—assigned when you registered your Salesforce Marketing Cloud account for OAuth.
        * **OAuth Client Secret**—for your Salesforce Marketing Cloud account for OAuth.
      </Step>

      <Step>
        At the top of the Connect AI **Add {title_1} Connection** page, click **Save & Test**.

        * If the connection test succeeds, a **Connection successfully saved** message appears, indicating that your connection has been created. The **Status** on the **Edit Connection** page also changes to **Authenticated**. View the data model of your successful connection in the right pane of the **Edit Connection** page, in the **Data Model** tab.
        * If the connection test fails, ensure that you entered your login information correctly with no stray spaces or other characters. Connect AI displays error messages under the required fields with missing data. Some data sources require that you sign in directly to the source website.
