Real-time sync
Changes in Dun And Bradstreet or Salesforce Marketing Cloud instantly reflect in both systems. No stale data, no manual imports.
Keep Dun And Bradstreet and Salesforce Marketing Cloud in sync without custom scripts. Cut weeks of integration work, eliminate silent data drift, and give your team a single, reliable source of truth.
Dun And Bradstreet is a read-only source: Stacksync reads its data in real time and delivers it into Salesforce Marketing Cloud, so Salesforce Marketing Cloud always reflects the current state of Dun And Bradstreet — without exports, scripts, or schedulers.
Dun And Bradstreet owns the customer relationship and the pipeline; Salesforce Marketing Cloud runs the campaigns, audiences, and outreach that fill it. The two overlap on the same people and companies — a lead in one system is a subscriber, a segment member, an event registrant, or an ad audience in the other. When that overlap is bridged by CSV exports or a nightly job, sales works from lists that no longer match reality and marketing keeps targeting people whose status has already moved on.
Where Salesforce Marketing Cloud builds lists, segments, or ad audiences, membership tracks the fields and stage owned in Dun And Bradstreet, so who receives a campaign reflects current pipeline reality instead of a stale export.
New leads or responders captured in Salesforce Marketing Cloud flow into Dun And Bradstreet assigned and deduplicated, so nothing sits in a marketing list waiting for someone to export it.
When a contact or lead is created or edited in either system, the matching record appears or updates in the other, so campaigns reach real people and reps see who is already being marketed to.
Representative objects on each side — any object or custom field can map to any target. Schemas are auto-detected; types are converted between the two systems.
| Dun And Bradstreet objects | Salesforce Marketing Cloud objects | How this pairing syncs | |
|---|---|---|---|
| Company Information (Data Block) Core firmographics for a D-U-N-S Number - legal name, addresses, industry codes, employees, sales, status. Retrieved read-only via the Enrich endpoint; blocks come in levels L1-L4. | Data Extensions Custom relational tables that store subscriber, audience, and arbitrary business data; rows are read via GET /data/v1/customobjectdata or SOAP Retrieve and upserted via the synchronous rowset PUT or the async /data/v1/async/dataextensions rows endpoint. This is the primary two-way surface. | Company Information (Data Block) is specific to Dun And Bradstreet and Data Extensions to Salesforce Marketing Cloud — each maps to any object or custom field on the other side. | |
| Principals & Contacts (Data Block) Company officers, executives, and contacts tied to a D-U-N-S Number; read-only enrichment used to populate CRM contact and account-owner fields. | Contacts / Subscribers The contact model keyed by Subscriber Key, holding channel addresses and subscription status; managed through the Contacts API (/contacts/v1/contacts) and the SOAP Subscriber object, and referenced by every send and journey. | Principals & Contacts (Data Block) is specific to Dun And Bradstreet and Contacts / Subscribers to Salesforce Marketing Cloud — each maps to any object or custom field on the other side. | |
| Company Hierarchy & Connections (Family Tree) Parent, subsidiary, branch, and global-ultimate DUNS relationships; read-only, used to build account hierarchies and corporate-family rollups. | Journeys (Journey Builder) Multi-step automated flows read and managed via /interaction/v1/interactions; contacts are injected by firing an entry event to /interaction/v1/events with an EventDefinitionKey and contact data. | Company Hierarchy & Connections (Family Tree) is specific to Dun And Bradstreet and Journeys (Journey Builder) to Salesforce Marketing Cloud — each maps to any object or custom field on the other side. | |
| Financial Strength & Risk Insight (Data Block) D&B risk and credit signals - D&B Rating, PAYDEX, Failure Score, Delinquency Score, Viability - keyed by D-U-N-S Number; read-only. | Content Assets (Content Builder) Emails, templates, images, and reusable content blocks stored in Content Builder and read or written via /asset/v1/content/assets, used to compose the messages a journey or send delivers. | Financial Strength & Risk Insight (Data Block) is specific to Dun And Bradstreet and Content Assets (Content Builder) to Salesforce Marketing Cloud — each maps to any object or custom field on the other side. | |
| Identity Resolution (Match / cleanseMatch) Sends a company name and address and returns ranked candidate DUNS with confidence codes and a MatchGrade; read-only scored match, not an exact lookup. | Automations (Automation Studio) Scheduled or triggered workflows of import, query, extract, and send activities managed via /automation/v1/automations; SQL Query Activities read Data Views and write results into Data Extensions. | Identity Resolution (Match / cleanseMatch) is specific to Dun And Bradstreet and Automations (Automation Studio) to Salesforce Marketing Cloud — each maps to any object or custom field on the other side. | |
| Criteria Search Query companies by firmographic criteria (industry, geography, size) and get back a list of D-U-N-S Numbers to enrich; read-only list building. | Tracking Events Sent, Open, Click, Bounce, Unsubscribe, and NotSent events retrieved through the SOAP tracking objects (SentEvent, OpenEvent, ClickEvent, BounceEvent) or the Automation Studio Data Views (_Sent, _Open, _Click, _Bounce) - the queryable record of engagement per send. | Criteria Search is specific to Dun And Bradstreet and Tracking Events to Salesforce Marketing Cloud — each maps to any object or custom field on the other side. |
Each direction of the sync is driven by what the source system can signal and what the destination accepts — detection, delivery, and expected latency below.
DetectionStacksync polls Dun And Bradstreet for changes on an incremental schedule, reading only records changed since the previous pass. Polling via D&B Monitoring - register a portfolio of DUNS and pull change notices from the notifications endpoint (retained ~60 days).
DeliveryEach detected change is written to Salesforce Marketing Cloud through its API, with automatic retries and rate-limit backoff.
DetectionSalesforce Marketing Cloud notifies Stacksync of record changes through webhook events. The Event Notification Service (ENS) issues HTTPS POST callbacks for transactional Email and SMS events (sent, bounce, open, click) once a callback.
DeliveryDun And Bradstreet does not accept inbound record writes, so this direction carries requests rather than records: Dun And Bradstreet's output flows back as field updates on the originating Salesforce Marketing Cloud records.

Stacksync provides a managed, real-time integration between Dun And Bradstreet and Salesforce Marketing Cloud — Dun And Bradstreet is a read-only source, so data flows from it into the other system: authenticate both systems, choose the objects to sync, map fields visually, and changes propagate in milliseconds — no code required.
Change detection on Dun And Bradstreet: Polling via D&B Monitoring - register a portfolio of DUNS and pull change notices from the notifications endpoint (retained ~60 days). Bundled push delivery is configured with your D&B rep; there is no standard HTTP webhook and no log-based CDC. On Salesforce Marketing Cloud: The Event Notification Service (ENS) issues HTTPS POST callbacks for transactional Email and SMS events (sent, bounce, open, click) once a callback URL and subscription are registered and verified. There is no general data-change feed, so Data Extension and Data View syncs poll by date fields. Each detected change propagates to the other side in milliseconds, with field-level conflict resolution and an inspectable event log.
On the Dun And Bradstreet side: Company Hierarchy & Connections (Family Tree), Financial Strength & Risk Insight (Data Block), Identity Resolution (Match / cleanseMatch), Criteria Search, plus custom fields where Dun And Bradstreet exposes them.

Dun And Bradstreet: D&B Direct+ REST API (plus.dnb.com) - capability groups for Identity Resolution (Match), Search, Enrich (Data Blocks by D-U-N-S Number), Multi-Process, Data File/Batch, and Monitoring. Authentication: OAuth 2.0 client-credentials: Base-auth a consumer key/secret to POST /v3/token for a bearer token; access tokens expire after 24 hours. Salesforce Marketing Cloud: Two APIs on tenant-specific endpoints: a REST API (JSON over HTTPS) for Data Extensions, Journeys, Contacts, Content Builder, and Automations, plus a legacy SOAP API (ExactTarget WSDL) for tracking events and bulk Retrieve. Authentication: OAuth 2.0 via an Installed Package (Client ID + Client Secret). Server-to-server uses the client_credentials grant and web apps use authorization_code, both against {subdomain}.auth.marketingcloudapis.com/v2/token. The 20-minute access token response also returns the account's rest_instance_url and soap_instance_url. Stacksync manages authentication, retries, and rate limits on both sides.
