Market to Your Customers with Account Engagement
Create a Marketing App Extension

Create a Marketing App Extension

A marketing app extension represents a third-party app that you use to work with prospects outside of Account Engagement. We recommend setting up a marketing app extension for each third-party app that you use to interact with prospects and store data. For example, if you have a webinar provider, a video platform, and you send out surveys, set up an extension for each vendor.

Required Editions

Available in: Account Engagement Plus, Advanced, and Premium Editions
User Permissions Needed
To access Marketing Setup in Salesforce: Customize Application
To access Marketing App Extension for the first time: Manage Public List Views

Even if you only have one business unit, the extension must be assigned to a business unit and have associated activity or action types.

  1. From Marketing Setup, select Marketing App Extensions.
  2. Click New and enter a name for your extension.

  3. Enter an API name for your extension, or you can use the name generated when you enter the name of your extension.
  4. If needed, enter a description for your extension for internal use.
  5. To use the extension’s activities or actions in automations, select Active in Automations. You can always return to this step later to activate your extension.
  6. Save your work.

You can create as many marketing app extensions as you want. The number of active extensions that you can have at one time depends on your edition. After you create an extension, assign the extension to a business unit.
