So we've the ubiquitous Pardot challenge of how to approach two distinct Salesforce Contacts using the same email address. As we know Pardot sync's on the last active (or even random) and therefore a Pardot Prospect could be synced with the incorrect Salesforce Contact.
Clearly, utopia would be for Pardot to look at First Name, Last Name and Email Address as a first stop in its logic to help identify the correct Contact. That, however, doesn't even appear to be on the roadmap. Has anyone here used a super-smart and creative way to address this challenge? eg:
Contact 1. Jane Smith using email [email protected]
Contact 2. John Johnson using email [email protected]
Jane submits a Pardot form using her name and details, including the email [email protected]
John has the last activity in Salesforce. The logic therefore sync's Jane's Pardot form submission with John's Salesforce Contact.
... and all of the sudden we're up the proverbial creek!
I suspect, since this issue is so pervasive, someone must have a creative solution. At least I'm hoping :)
Thanks! Ten
