Salesforce Marketing Cloud → Azure Synapse
AI-first ETL from Salesforce Marketing Cloud into Azure Synapse. Governed entities, incremental sync, typed landing tables.
How Datrise loads Salesforce Marketing Cloud into Azure Synapse
Datrise syncs Salesforce Marketing Cloud's records, events, and configuration objects into Azure Synapse as a typed table per source entity. Flexible or custom fields land in NVARCHAR(MAX) JSON columns, and timestamps such as created, updated, and status changes are typed as datetime2.
Sync is incremental: Datrise uses COPY into staging, then a MERGE on stable id, so re-runs update only what changed. Hash distribution on the join id with date partitioning on facts. Synapse dedicated pools reward good hash-distribution choices, so Datrise distributes on entity ids to avoid data-movement-heavy joins.
Ideal for Azure analytics estates feeding Power BI.
