## Overview

Oracle Bronto and Salesforce are two workhorses in the modern revenue stack — one running your email campaigns, the other managing customers and pipeline. When they don't talk to each other, marketing teams can't see what happens after a lead converts, and sales reps have no idea which emails a prospect has opened. Integrating the two through tray.ai closes those gaps, gives both teams a shared view of the truth, and cuts the time it takes to move a lead toward a closed deal.

Connecting Oracle Bronto with Salesforce means data moves freely across your marketing and sales funnel instead of getting stuck at the handoff points. Marketing can trigger Bronto campaigns based on what's happening in Salesforce — deal stage, lead score, customer segment — while sales reps can see exactly how prospects are engaging with emails, which sequences they're in, and what content is landing. Without this, teams burn hours manually exporting contact lists, importing campaign results, and trying to reconcile engagement data with pipeline numbers. Automating these workflows in tray.ai cuts out the manual work, keeps contact records accurate, and means both teams are always working from current data rather than yesterday's export.

## Use cases

### Bi-Directional Contact Synchronization

Keep contact and lead records aligned between Salesforce and Oracle Bronto by automatically syncing new and updated records in both directions. When a new lead is created in Salesforce, it's added to the right Bronto list. When a contact updates their preferences in Bronto, those changes are reflected back in Salesforce without anyone touching it manually.

- Eliminate duplicate data entry and cut down on list management overhead
- Make sure marketing is always working from the most current contact information in the CRM
- Automatically honor opt-outs and subscription changes across both platforms

### Campaign Engagement Synced to Salesforce Lead and Contact Records

Push Oracle Bronto email engagement data — opens, clicks, bounces, and unsubscribes — into Salesforce as activity records or field updates on leads and contacts. Sales reps get a real-time view of how prospects are interacting with marketing emails, so outreach is more informed and better timed.

- Give sales reps email engagement context directly inside Salesforce
- Improve lead scoring accuracy by pulling in email interaction signals
- Cut the time spent manually cross-referencing email reports and CRM records

### Automated Lead Nurture Enrollment Based on Salesforce Pipeline Stage

Automatically enroll Salesforce leads or contacts into specific Oracle Bronto nurture sequences when a deal hits a defined pipeline stage or a lead reaches a score threshold. Prospects get timely, relevant content that matches where they actually are in the buying process.

- Deliver the right nurture content at the right stage of the sales cycle
- Remove the manual step of marketing ops exporting and uploading lists
- Increase conversion rates by matching email messaging to pipeline context

### New Bronto Form Submissions Created as Salesforce Leads

When a prospect submits a form or signs up through an Oracle Bronto-managed landing page or email capture, a new lead record is automatically created in Salesforce with all relevant data filled in. Field mappings make sure nothing gets lost moving between the two systems.

- Capture every inbound lead from email campaigns directly into the CRM pipeline
- Speed up lead response time by routing new signups to the right Salesforce queue immediately
- Keep attribution data intact so Salesforce leads trace back to their originating Bronto campaigns

### Salesforce Opportunity Won Events Triggering Post-Purchase Bronto Campaigns

When a Salesforce opportunity is marked Closed Won, a post-purchase onboarding or upsell email sequence in Oracle Bronto fires automatically, tailored to what was actually purchased. It's a clean handoff from sales to marketing that starts working on retention from day one.

- Deliver a consistent, personalized onboarding experience to every new customer
- Speed up time-to-value by automating welcome and setup communications
- Target upsell and cross-sell opportunities with post-purchase email flows built around what the customer bought

### Suppression List Management Across Bronto and Salesforce

Keep suppression and unsubscribe lists in sync between Oracle Bronto and Salesforce so contacts who've opted out are never accidentally emailed. Any unsubscribe event in Bronto immediately updates the corresponding Salesforce record, and vice versa.

- Stay compliant with email regulations like CAN-SPAM and GDPR
- Protect sender reputation by preventing emails to opted-out contacts
- Reduce legal and reputational risk from mismatched suppression records

### Campaign Performance Reporting Aggregated in Salesforce

Pull Oracle Bronto campaign metrics — delivery rates, open rates, click-through rates, and revenue attribution — into Salesforce on a scheduled basis so marketing and sales leadership can see unified performance data without switching between tools.

- Let revenue teams connect email campaign performance directly to pipeline and revenue data
- Cut the time spent building manual cross-platform reports in spreadsheets
- Give leadership a single dashboard view of how marketing is contributing to closed revenue

## Challenges Tray.ai solves

### Mismatched Data Models Between Bronto and Salesforce

Oracle Bronto and Salesforce use fundamentally different data structures. Bronto organizes contacts into lists and segments while Salesforce distinguishes between leads, contacts, accounts, and opportunities. Mapping data between these models manually is error-prone and slow, and often produces duplicate records or dropped fields.

**How Tray.ai helps:** tray.ai's visual data mapper and transformation tools let teams define precise field mappings between Bronto and Salesforce schemas, handle conditional logic for lead-versus-contact routing, and normalize data formats without writing custom code — so records stay clean and consistent in both systems.

### Real-Time Sync Without Overloading API Rate Limits

Both Salesforce and Oracle Bronto enforce API rate limits that can get exhausted fast when large contact lists or high-frequency engagement events need to sync in real time. Polling aggressively or pushing every event immediately can trigger throttling errors that break data flows.

**How Tray.ai helps:** tray.ai handles API rate limiting through built-in retry logic, request queuing, and configurable sync intervals. Workflows can batch updates during off-peak hours or process high-volume events through controlled queues, preventing throttle errors while keeping data reasonably fresh.

### Keeping Suppression and Compliance Data Consistent

Synchronized opt-out and suppression lists are a compliance problem, not just a data quality one. When unsubscribes happen in either system and don't immediately show up in the other, organizations risk emailing opted-out contacts and running afoul of CAN-SPAM, CASL, and GDPR.

**How Tray.ai helps:** tray.ai runs event-driven suppression sync workflows that fire the moment an opt-out occurs in either platform and update the corresponding record in the other system within seconds. Audit logging in tray.ai also gives you a traceable record of all suppression updates for compliance reporting.

### Handling Duplicate Contact Records Across Systems

When contacts exist in multiple states across Salesforce — as both a Lead and a Contact, or with slightly different email formats — syncing with Bronto can create duplicates or push updates to the wrong record. Without deduplication logic, data quality degrades quickly at scale.

**How Tray.ai helps:** tray.ai workflows can check for existing records by email address or custom identifiers before creating new entries, then merge or update as appropriate. This keeps both Bronto and Salesforce clean and prevents list inflation that skews campaign metrics.

### Attribution and Campaign Source Tracking Across the Funnel

Connecting Bronto email interactions to revenue outcomes in Salesforce means carefully preserving UTM parameters, campaign IDs, and source data as records move between systems. When that metadata gets dropped or mapped incorrectly, marketing loses the ability to show ROI or make informed decisions about spend.

**How Tray.ai helps:** tray.ai's workflow builder lets teams explicitly carry campaign attribution metadata — including Bronto campaign IDs, message names, and engagement timestamps — into Salesforce activity records and lead source fields. Full-funnel attribution data stays intact and available for reporting in both platforms.
