How To Map Lookup Fields in Pardot

BY CELINE NEWSOME AND MIKE CREUZER

Have you tried to map an important Salesforce field in Pardot, only to realize it’s not available in the Pardot field mapping dropdown list? Yeah, me too. The most common reason for this…It’s a dang lookup field in Salesforce, and Pardot doesn’t like lookup fields.

If you’re wondering what a lookup field is, it’s when a field value is being sourced from another field or object.

Side note: User lookup fields are an exception here. Salesforce user lookup fields can be mapped to Pardot CRM User type fields.

If you’re still thinking you need that field in Pardot even though standard functionality won’t allow it, lucky for you, we have three solutions so you can still create and map the field you need in Pardot.

While this is a critical element in the accuracy of your reports, it does not magically solve all your reporting needs.

A Pardot Admin FAQ: “Why do my emails break when forwarded?”

BY GARY BROWN

I once forwarded an anonymous email to five friends. It proclaimed:

“We’ve been discovered, flee immediately!”

I have not seen two of them since. I learned my lesson about forwarding emails that day, but for the wrong reasons.

Whether pretending your friends’ nefarious activities are about to be uncovered… or just trying to share a beautiful sales email… forwarding is problematic.
