Pardot Setup Guide
Prerequisites
- A Salesforce Pardot (Account Engagement) account with Administrator access.
- Your Pardot Business Unit ID (an 18-character ID beginning with
0Uv), found in Salesforce Setup under Pardot Account Setup - useful to have on hand in case it isn't automatically listed during setup.
Setup Guide
Step 1: Grant Permission to Connect to Matia's App (OAuth only)
If your Salesforce org has never approved an externally-hosted ("uninstalled") connected app before, an admin needs to grant this permission first, or the authorization in Step 2 will fail.
- Log in to Salesforce with an account that has administrative privileges.
- Click Setup.
- Under the Administer tab, expand Manage Users.
- From the dropdown, select Permission Sets. You can create a new permission set or use an existing one.
- Click Edit and enable Approve Uninstalled Connected Apps. If your organization has API Access Control enabled, enable Use Any API Client instead.
- Click Save.
- Click Manage Assignments → Add Assignments.
- Select the user who will authorize Matia in Step 2, then click Assign.
Note: Once the connection in Step 2 is established successfully, you can return to this permission set and disable it for security purposes.
Step 2: Complete Configuration in Matia
- In Matia, click Authorize.
- You'll be redirected to Salesforce to log in and grant Matia access. Pardot's API runs on top of standard Salesforce OAuth, so this is the same Salesforce login/consent screen used to connect Matia's Salesforce connector.
- Review the requested permissions and click Allow.
- After redirecting back to Matia, confirm the Business Unit you want to sync.
- Enter an Asset Name.
- (Optional) Enter a Description.
- (Optional) Assign Tags.
- Select an Owner.
- Verify that your Pardot account is successfully connected by clicking on Test Connection.
- Click Connect.
