Import Registrant Data from Pardot to Zuddl


The Pardot-Zuddl integration lets you pull prospects from Pardot to Zuddl by leveraging segmentation lists. It allows you to pull Pardot prospects in a list as registrants in your Zuddl event/webinar.

      On the Prospect Field Mapping page, map the Zuddl standard fields to the corresponding Pardot fields. The mandatory fields namely, First Name, Last Name, and Email are auto-mapped to their respective counterparts in Pardot.

      The Pardot fields are auto-populated from your account.

      The mandatory fields are required to create a lead in case the registrant email ID is not found in your Pardot instance. You can also map the below optional fields that we capture at the time of registration:

    5. Ip City
    6. Ip Country
    7. UTM Source
    8. UTM Medium
    9. UTM Campaign
    10. UTM Term
    11. UTM Content
    12. UTM Id

  5. Click Finish. This completes the installation of the Pardot app. After installation, the next step is to set up an event-level configuration.

The integration uses Segmentation lists to fetch prospect email addresses in Pardot. There are many ways in which prospect data is collected in Pardot such as forms, form handlers, bulk upload, and also manual addition.

However, if you wish to use forms, there are certain instructions you must follow to link your segmentation list to your Pardot form.


Prerequisite

Since forms can be linked to the Segmentation list, they must be created beforehand in order to conveniently link to the forms.  

While creating forms, ensure that they are linked to a segmentation list in order to relay the received prospect data into relevant lists.

To link a segmentation list while creating a form:

  1. On the Completion Actions step, scroll to the Action option and select Add to list from the dropdown options. This shows an additional field, ‘List’.
  2. Select a required Segmentation list from the List dropdown and click Next and proceed with further steps.

This step links the Segmentation list to your Pardot form. So when a user gets converted to a Prospect through a Pardot form, they also get added to a segmentation list. This list should be added as input for registrations to pass from Pardot to Zuddl. The integration identifies the list and imports prospect email addresses to your Zuddl event/webinar by virtue of the import connections made at the time of event-level integration setup.


Event-level integration

When turned on, import integration pulls prospects from a list to a Zuddl event/webinar as registrants. The registrants appear inside the Attendee section of the People menu. The integration checks if there already exists a registrant in your Zuddl event/webinar with the same email address. If not, the integration creates one in your Zuddl event/webinar. You can also import registrations from multiple Pardot Segmentation lists.

Event-level integration step is mandatory for every event/webinar that requires this integration.  

Prerequisite:

Before you enable the event-level integration, ensure that the “Event invitation” email for attendees has been toggled on from the Communication menu. Without this enablement, registrants will not receive any event invitation.

Steps:

  1. On the common dashboard, click on Home and create a new event/webinar.
  2. Inside the event/webinar setup dashboard, click on Integration.
  3. On the Pardot card, click the Customize link. This initiates the data flow set up to import registrants from Zuddl to Pardot.

The event-level integration is split into:

  1. Custom fields
  2. List Id

These steps are explained in the below sections

Map custom fields

If you have custom fields in your Pardot form you can map them to a suitable registration field in Zuddl. If you don’t find a suitable field in Zuddl, you can create one inside Registration > Forms.

Ensure that the datatype matches its Pardot counterpart. For easy mapping, keep the name and the data type the same as it is in your Pardot prospect.

To map a custom field in Zuddl:

  1. Under the Custom fields tab, select a Zuddl field and map it against its Pardot counterpart.
  2. Click Save. This saves your custom field mapping. This will map the custom fields which are shown under the Custom fields section inside the prospect detail view.
  3. Click the + Add field button to add more fields in the same way.

While mapping custom fields, ensure that the compatible data types are selected.  


Add List IDs to import

The integration lets import prospects automatically from the segmentation lists you specify using the list Id. The list Id can be obtained from the URL. To copy the segmentation list Id:

  1. Go to Home Marketing > Segmentation.
  2. Click the required Segmentation List from the list which was used to pass registrations from the Pardot form to your Zuddl event/webinar

  3. Copy the 4-digit numeral code from the URL on the Segmentation list details page.

  4. To specify a segmentation List Id, under the List Id tab, add the Pardot Segmentation list where prospect data is passed through a Pardot form.

  5. Click Save. This establishes a data flow from Pardot to Zuddl.
  6. Click +Add list ID button to add more segmentation lists in the same manner.

    You can also delete a mapping by clicking on the bin icon.

This completes the integration set up. On the integration listing page, an Active text on the Pardot import section indicates the integration is active.

Important: You can combine both export and import flow to achieve a bidirectional data flow thereby enriching existing prospect data flowing into Pardot with Zuddl event/webinar activity data. In such a requirement, ensure that the export integration is set up before you set up import integration.
