Import contact lists

Before you start

We recommend a minimum of 1000 unique email addresses

We strongly suggest that your contact lists synced from Pardot have at least 1,000 unique email addresses for optimal performance. Even though you may be able to run a contact targeting campaign with 100 unique emails that match a cookie this audience is too small to yield optimal reach and ad performance. 🔎 Learn more about how Contact Lists work here.

 

Step 1: Create a Contact List in Pardot

You can skip this step if you already have existing Pardot contact Lists that you want to bring over to RollWorks. Any Contact List that you have created in Pardot is eligible to be imported into RollWorks.

  • Log in to Pardot and click Lists and Create.
  • Learn more about how to create Contact Lists in Pardot in their help center.

 

Step 2: Import Contact List to RollWorks

  • Login to RollWorks, navigate to Integrations > CRM & Marketing Automation > Pardot
  • Click the button labeled Import Lists to view all available Pardot Contact Lists
  • Select the Contact List(s) that you wish to import and click Done

After completing the steps above you have successfully synced your selected Pardot Contacts Lists over to RollWorks. If the lists you import are dynamic Contact Lists in Pardot they will update automatically in RollWorks.

Now that you have synced over your contact lists from Pardot to RollWorks, you can engage or suppress this audience in your RollWorks Ad Campaigns. 

 

Find Pardot Contact Lists

Log in to RollWorks and go to Audiences > Contact Lists

Your imported Pardot Contact Lists will be listed under Imported Audiences.  You can use the 'Source' filter to find any Pardot Contact List synced into RollWorks.

 

 

Data Sync

The data sync between RollWorks and Pardot is scheduled daily at 15:00 (UTC), any new lists created in Pardot will appear as available to be imported to RollWorks after this daily sync.

After importing a list, RollWorks will complete the cookie-matching process, which can take up to 72 hours. You cannot use imported Contact Lists in your Ad Campaigns until this cookie-matching process is complete.

To confirm if a Contact List is ready to be used in Ad Campaigns login to RollWorks:

  • Navigate to Audiences > Contact Lists
  • Under Imported Lists use the filter Source = Pardot to view Pardot contact lists only.
  • Or search your contact list name.
