Limitations of Adroll Salesforce Integration Using CSV Files

  • CSV files mostly rely on manual formatting when entering the data, which increases the risk of errors, like missing values or typos. These errors might result in poor data quality during analysis. 
  • You can export a maximum of 50,000 records from CSV files into Salesforce. Dividing the data into small files or batches may also require massive datasets. It can be time-consuming and delay the transformation process. 
  • CSV files are plain text, so they lack security measures and access controls, which might raise concerns about confidentiality when dealing with sensitive information.

  • By migrating your marketing data from Adroll to Salesforce, you can implement a model to prioritize your potential leads. This means you can know which ads generate high engagement so the sales teams can follow up. 
  • Salesforce automated workflows help you to customize your interactions with your users or potential customers. 
  • Salesforce’s 360-degree view technology gives you comprehensive insight into a customer’s lifecycle, from lead to potential customer. This helps you identify KPIs and boost your marketing efforts.
