You can use the Salesforce Marketing Cloud connector from the CData Sync application to capture data from Salesforce Marketing Cloud and move it to any supported destination. To do so, you need to add the connector, authenticate to the connector, and complete your connection.

4. Click the Configure Connection icon at the end of that row to open the New Connection page. If the Configure Connection icon is not available, click the Download Connector icon to install the Salesforce Marketing Cloud connector. For more information about installing new connectors, see Connections.
