How many Salesforce connectors can a Pardot instance have verified at one time?

A Pardot (now Marketing Cloud Account Engagement) business unit is architecturally designed to have a one-to-one relationship with a single Salesforce organization. This fundamental design ensures data integrity, a single source of truth for prospect and customer data, and reliable synchronization between the marketing automation platform and the CRM. Consequently, only one Salesforce connector can be active and verified for a single Pardot instance at any given time. To connect to multiple Salesforce orgs, a company would need to provision multiple Pardot business units.

B. 2: The system is not designed for a one-to-many connection; a single Pardot instance cannot sync with two separate Salesforce orgs.

C. 5: This is an arbitrary number and does not reflect the technical limitations of the Pardot-Salesforce connector architecture.

D. Unlimited: Allowing unlimited connectors would be technically infeasible and would create significant data management and integrity issues.

1. Salesforce Help Documentation. Considerations for Using the Salesforce Connector. Under the "Connector Settings" section, the documentation explicitly states, "A Pardot business unit can have only one Salesforce connector." This confirms the 1:1 relationship.

2. Salesforce Help Documentation. Pardot Multiple Salesforce Orgs Architecture. This document outlines solutions for customers with multiple Salesforce orgs, reinforcing the core principle: "Each Pardot Business Unit can connect to only one Salesforce Org." This architecture guide clarifies that separate Pardot instances are required for each Salesforce connection.
