Known issues

Issue when you install more than 1 marketing automation connector

The Select Form > Folder: MA DB drop-down field may show an incorrect option if you installed more than 1 connector. For example, if you installed the ExactTarget connector, you see the MA DB: [0] Subscriber option in the drop-down field. Because you can use only 1 connector at a time, you uninstall the ExactTarget connector and then install the Salesforce connector. The options for Saleforce should be as follows:

MA DB: [0] Account

MA DB: [1] Campaign

MA DB: [2] Contact

MA DB: [3] Lead

However, because the ExactTarget connector left its option in the database, you see this:

MA DB: [0] Subscriber  <--

MA DB: [1] Campaign

MA DB: [2] Contact

MA DB: [3] Lead

Note: Although the field shows the ExactTarget Subscriber option, the underlying Salesforce Account option displays the correct Salesforce properties.
