Common questions for Pardot

Can I configure LeadsBridge to create a new lead if a lead with the same email already exists?

Yes, of course! If a lead already exists in your list, but you wish to sync a new lead with the same email, simply allow LeadsBridge to create duplicates. Go in your integration settings and set the “Allow duplicates” toggle to “Yes”. If the "Allow Duplicates" toggle is set to "No" any lead that already exists in your list and has been re-submitted will be updated with the new information.

I get a message stating "Unable to authenticate! Please check your credentials", how may I fix it?

If you get this error message while creating the integration it means that your Pardot account is locked due to too many failed login attempts. To fix it you need to reset your Pardot password. Please follow these steps in order to change it: 1. Open the Account Settings page into Pardot, click and select Settings. In the Lightning app, select Pardot Settings 2. Click Edit Password 3. Enter and confirm your new password Remember to update the password into the Pardot integration.

Why I cannot see my custom fields?

In case you cannot see your custom fields in the fields mapping step of the bridge means that the Pardot user you have connected doesn’t have enough permissions to retrieve them. To fix this, you should change your role in the Pardot settings. Notice that Custom fields using Radio Button, Checkbox, Dropdown, or Multi-Select type are not supported by Pardot’s API, so they won’t be visible in the fields mapping step.

Why use Pardot integration

Pardot can be integrated with various platforms including ads platforms, allowing you to synchronize and manage data. To simplify the data management process, it's recommended to automate the flow by configuring Pardot integrations. 

For example, through integrations, you can get form submissions from your Lead ads back into your Pardot account. LeadsBridge can assist you with this. 

Manually exporting the submissions from your advertising platform (as a CSV file in Campaign Manager) and then uploading the lead data into Pardot can be time-consuming. However, LeadsBridge can streamline this process by providing a data bridge that enables you to automate your Pardot lead management process.
