Email builder for Salesforce Marketing Cloud
Create, review, and approve campaigns in Better Email. Export the subject line, preheader, images, and finished email HTML to Content Builder. Better Email does not send the campaign or replace Salesforce Marketing Cloud.
How it works
Build and export campaigns to Salesforce Marketing Cloud
Your team works in Better Email. Your SFMC specialist gets a clean, approved campaign in Content Builder, ready for the send workflow.
Recipient data
Bring SFMC fields into the campaign workspace
Sync selected Contact Builder fields for merge tags and segmentation. Configure a sendable Data Extension when that is the source your campaign needs.
Choose the source
Use SFMC fields without copying them by hand
Sync the recipient data your team needs for merge tags and segmentation. Start with selected Contact Builder attribute sets. Add a sendable Data Extension when the campaign needs it.

AMPscript links
Personalize the destination without breaking click tracking
Use merge tags or AMPscript in campaign links. Better Email prepares personalized URLs for the SFMC tracking format during rendering.
Personalized destinations
Keep tracked links working in SFMC
https://example.com/account?member=[member_id]Your team can use the familiar Better Email merge tag. During SFMC rendering, Better Email turns the AMPscript destination into the format Salesforce expects for personalized click tracking.
Integration controls
Match access to your SFMC setup
Control who can use the integration, where assets can land, and which business unit provides the API context.
People and groups
Give the integration to everyone, or limit it to selected users and groups.
Content Builder folders
Show only categories below approved parent folder IDs during export.
Business units
Set the Business Unit MID so SFMC issues the token in the right account context.
Content Builder images
Use the images you already keep in Content Builder
Every image field in a campaign can open Content Builder. Browse folders or search by name. Only published images show up.
- Each campaign browses the business unit of its Destination
- It uses the SFMC connection an admin already set up in Settings, so there is nothing more to configure
- The image keeps the published Content Builder URL your team would paste from SFMC, or you can copy it into Better Email storage
- Betty, the Better Email AI agent, can search Content Builder for images from inside a campaign
- Read-only access, so Better Email never changes or deletes anything in Content Builder

Salesforce Marketing Cloud integration FAQ
What teams ask before connecting SFMC
An SFMC admin creates a server-to-server API integration in Installed Packages. Better Email uses the client credentials flow with the package Client ID, Client Secret, and tenant subdomain. A Business Unit MID can be added when the package belongs to a specific business unit.
Better Email exports the finished email asset to Content Builder and syncs the campaign subject line and preheader. Teams can restrict the folder picker to approved Content Builder categories.
No. Teams create, review, and approve campaigns in Better Email, then export them to Salesforce Marketing Cloud. Salesforce Marketing Cloud remains the system used for journeys, audience selection, and sending.
Yes. Better Email accepts AMPscript in links and rewrites personalized destinations to the Salesforce Marketing Cloud pattern used for click tracking. Merge tags that resolve to AMPscript receive the same treatment.
Yes. Better Email can sync selected Contact Builder attribute sets for merge tags and segmentation. A sendable Data Extension can also be configured when its key is available.
Yes. Image fields in a campaign can open Content Builder, where you browse folders or search published images by name. Each campaign sees the business unit of its Destination and uses the SFMC connection you already have. The picked image keeps its published Content Builder URL unless you choose to copy it into Better Email storage. Better Email only reads from Content Builder and never changes or deletes anything there.
Yes. Better Email admins can limit the integration to selected users or groups, restrict the Content Builder folder picker to approved parent categories, and set a Business Unit MID for the relevant SFMC business unit.
The baseline scopes cover saved content, documents and images, email, and Data Extension access. Recipient field sync also depends on access to the relevant Contact Builder resources. The setup guide lists the exact scopes.
