Why teams connect Manhattan Associates WMS and Salesforce Marketing Cloud

Feed the real customer, order, and revenue records from Manhattan Associates WMS into Salesforce Marketing Cloud so campaigns run on who actually bought what, and let contact and consent changes flow back in real time.

Marketing runs on lists of people, but the list rarely knows which of those people are paying customers, what they ordered, or what they are worth. Manhattan Associates WMS holds exactly that: Items, Shipments & LPNs, Receipts, Locations & Zones that record who the customer is, what they bought, and what they owe. When the two are joined only by a periodic export, campaigns go out against stale audiences, existing customers get prospecting emails, high-value accounts look the same as cold leads, and a canceled order still counts toward a segment.

Stacksync syncs Items, Shipments & LPNs, Receipts, Locations & Zones in Manhattan Associates WMS with Data Extensions, Contacts / Subscribers, Journeys (Journey Builder), Content Assets (Content Builder) in Salesforce Marketing Cloud in real time, and where both sides accept writes, in both directions. Customer, order, and invoice data maps field by field onto the contacts, audiences, or accounts Salesforce Marketing Cloud works with, so segmentation and personalization run on current purchase history instead of a month-old snapshot. Contact details and consent changes that originate in Salesforce Marketing Cloud flow back onto the record in Manhattan Associates WMS.

The strongest bridge between the two is identity and purchase history, who the customer is and what they have bought, so that is where most of the value sits. Because the sync is field-level, each system keeps the attributes the other has no use for; only the shared records are held in agreement.

Common use cases

  • 01 Feed labor and throughput data into analytics tools for DC performance reporting.
  • 02 Release orders from the ERP or OMS into the WMS and sync status back as they are waved, picked, and shipped.
  • 03 Two-way sync Data Extension rows between Marketing Cloud and a Postgres database or warehouse so audience attributes and opt-out state stay aligned in both systems.
  • 04 Push CRM or warehouse audience segments into Data Extensions via the async rows API (background bulk insert) so marketing sends to freshly built audiences without manual CSV imports.

Common sync patterns

Where Salesforce Marketing Cloud captures new people: signups become customer records

Registrations, form fills, or new subscribers in Salesforce Marketing Cloud create or update the corresponding record in Manhattan Associates WMS, so the back office sees them without anyone re-keying.

Consent and contact changes travel

Email, address, or subscription-status changes stay aligned across both systems, so a customer who updates their details or opts out is respected everywhere.

Purchase history drives segmentation

Orders, invoices, and revenue totals from Manhattan Associates WMS land on the matching contact or account in Salesforce Marketing Cloud, so audiences are built from what customers actually bought and spent rather than from guesses.

What you can sync between Manhattan Associates WMS and Salesforce Marketing Cloud

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.

Manhattan Associates WMS objects Salesforce Marketing Cloud objects How this pairing syncs
Appointments Dock scheduling data coordinated with carriers and yard systems. Transactional Sends Triggered and transactional Email/SMS delivered through the Messaging API (/messaging/v1/email/messages/{key}); the Event Notification Service reports each message's disposition (delivered, bounced, opened, clicked). Appointments is specific to Manhattan Associates WMS and Transactional Sends to Salesforce Marketing Cloud — each maps to any object or custom field on the other side.
Distribution Orders Outbound order releases sent from the ERP or OMS into the WMS for waving and fulfillment. 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. Distribution Orders is specific to Manhattan Associates WMS and Data Extensions to Salesforce Marketing Cloud — each maps to any object or custom field on the other side.
Purchase Orders & ASNs Inbound expectations synced from procurement to drive receiving and putaway. 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. Purchase Orders & ASNs is specific to Manhattan Associates WMS and Contacts / Subscribers to Salesforce Marketing Cloud — each maps to any object or custom field on the other side.
Inventory On-hand, allocated, and available positions read out across the DC network. 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. Inventory is specific to Manhattan Associates WMS and Journeys (Journey Builder) to Salesforce Marketing Cloud — each maps to any object or custom field on the other side.
Items Item master and packaging data kept consistent with the ERP catalog. 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. Items is specific to Manhattan Associates WMS and Content Assets (Content Builder) to Salesforce Marketing Cloud — each maps to any object or custom field on the other side.
Shipments & LPNs Ship confirmations, cartons, and tracking pushed back to order sources. 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. Shipments & LPNs is specific to Manhattan Associates WMS and Automations (Automation Studio) to Salesforce Marketing Cloud — each maps to any object or custom field on the other side.

How changes propagate between Manhattan Associates WMS and Salesforce Marketing Cloud

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.

Manhattan Associates WMS Salesforce Marketing Cloud Interval-based propagation

DetectionStacksync polls Manhattan Associates WMS for changes on an incremental schedule, reading only records changed since the previous pass. Polling on modified timestamps.

DeliveryEach detected change is written to Salesforce Marketing Cloud through its API, with automatic retries and rate-limit backoff.

Salesforce Marketing Cloud Manhattan Associates WMS Sub-second propagation

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.

DeliveryEach detected change is written to Manhattan Associates WMS through its API, with automatic retries and rate-limit backoff.

Rate-limit considerations

  • Salesforce Marketing Cloud: Salesforce does not publish fixed numeric REST rate limits; requests are throttled per account and can return HTTP 429, so backoff is advised. SOAP Retrieve returns at most 2,500 records per call and pages via ContinueRequest with the prior RequestID. Bulk Data Extension writes use the async rows API to queue inserts in the background.

Salesforce Marketing Cloud

Integration surface
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.
Change detection
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.
