Updated this week

In some circumstances you may want to limit where in your marketing automation platform instance Knak Builders can sync emails or restrict an integration to a brand.

Knak supports sync restriction for the following Marketing Automation Platforms:

  • Marketo

  • Eloqua

  • SFMC

  • Pardot

Sync Location Restrictions

Knak can help by allowing you to setup sync location restrictions.

Step 1. Once this feature is applied in your account, go to the Admin section of the platform and navigate to the Integrations section and click Sync Restrictions:

Admin side of the platform on the integrations > sync restrictions page without sync rules set up

Step 2. Toggle the "Enable All" on and then click + New Sync Rule

Step 3. On the popup screen you can give your sync rule a name and then select the brand(s) and relevant instance you want the rule to apply to. You can also specify the asset type (emails or landing pages or both) available to sync, workspace and program you want to allow access to and then select 'Create New Rule'.

When your rule is setup this will mean Builders assigned to the relevant brand will only be able sync to the location you have chosen.

You can setup multiple sync rules for the same brand to allow Builders to sync to multiple locations.

If the folder your sync rule applies to has sub-folders, Builders will be able to sync to all sub folders in that directory.

You can setup rules to target just an instance or workspace, you don't always have to target programs or folders.

Integration restricted to certain brands

To limit an integration to certain brands, go to Integrations > Platform and select +Add New Integration or select a current integration and click the + under Restrict to Brands. Select which brands you want to be able to access the integration and then click on Create New Integration.

The integration will now be restricted to those brands selected.
