Easily Opt In Opted-Out Prospects Synced to Salesforce

Easily opt synced prospects back into Pardot emails. Previously, if the Prospect opted out field was selected, you couldn’t opt a synced prospect back into Pardot emails without a fight. You had to unverify the Salesforce-Pardot connector or try to update the records in both systems simultaneously. Now, Pardot admins can change this field’s sync behavior to allow users to overwrite a prospect’s opt-out status to make them mailable again. Users can opt in up to 100 prospects per day, per account.

Where: This change applies to Lightning Experience, Salesforce Classic, and all versions of the Salesforce app in all editions of Salesforce with any Pardot edition.

Who: Pardot admins enable this setting. Pardot admins and users with the Toggle Opt-in Status permission can opt prospects back in from Pardot. In Salesforce, users with the appropriate field-level permissions can opt in leads and contacts.

How: In Pardot, edit your Salesforce connector, and select Overwrite Prospect Opted Out field. Accept the terms, and then save your connector.
