Create a Salesforce Marketing Cloud connection

Create a Salesforce Marketing Cloud connection in Catalog Explorer to store authentication credentials for Lakeflow Connect ingestion. Any user with the USE CONNECTION privilege on the connection can then create Salesforce Marketing Cloud ingestion pipelines without needing direct access to the credentials.

Alternatively, admin users can create a connection and a pipeline at the same time in the data ingestion UI. See Ingest data from Salesforce Marketing Cloud.

For privilege requirements, see Connect to managed ingestion sources.

Prerequisites

Complete Configure OAuth for Salesforce Marketing Cloud ingestion into Databricks. Use the authentication details you obtain to create the connection.

1. In the Databricks workspace, click Catalog > Create > Create a connection.
2. On the Connection basics page of the Set up connection wizard, enter a unique Connection name.
