Conversion Datadog
Built for the Datadog marketing team

Run more campaigns without growing Datadog's MOps team

Campaign volume keeps climbing and the ops team does not, while the enriched data that would make those sends worth building sits in the warehouse. Conversion is the agentic marketing automation platform that connects Snowflake and Salesforce natively, then puts agents on the recurring work that eats your team's week.

The challenge

The ceiling on a deeply embedded Marketo instance

Campaign tracking and Salesforce automation run fine. The strain shows up in the data you cannot reach, the queue teams route around, and the manual work that grows with every new program.

Warehouse data cannot reach campaigns

Enriched and product data lives in Snowflake, and Marketo has no native warehouse integration. Getting any of it into a campaign means reverse ETL into Salesforce, then Salesforce back into Marketo, every time the data changes.

No single view of what customers receive

Several teams send to the same customers from different tools. When the approval queue runs long, teams find their own way to send, and nobody can answer what a given account actually got last month.

Every new program costs capacity

Event lists arrive as tens of thousands of rows and take days of manual cleanup. The recurring work scales with campaign volume, so the only way to add programs is to add people.

Conversion Agents

The work that grows every time campaign volume does

Agents clean the imported list, build the audience from a plain-English request, and QA the send before it goes. Approval-first and permission-scoped, so your ops team signs off on everything and every run leaves an auditable record.

List work that runs itself

Agents take the imported file, dedupe it, clean it, and stage the campaign, so a large event list stops eating days of someone's week. Your team reviews the result instead of building it row by row.

Requests arrive already drafted

Intake agents triage the campaign request, draft the email and the audience behind it, and run pre-send QA. A request moves in hours, with your team still approving everything before it ships.

The parts of Marketo that work, still working

Campaigns, nurtures, event programs, scoring, and the Salesforce campaign tracking your team relies on all carry over. Nothing you run today gets left behind, and the reporting ties back to pipeline.

Dynamic Email Studio

Drag-and-drop builder with live CRM and warehouse fields. Hyper-personalize every message with dynamic content blocks.

Query Engine & Segmentation

Trigger workflows from CRM changes, product events, and enrichment data. Build audiences with a powerful query builder.

Campaigns & Folders

Organize and manage campaigns at scale with folders, tagging, and team collaboration.

Real-Time Workflows

Visual workflow builder with branching, delays, and AI-powered actions that trigger in real time.

Forms & Pages

Build branded forms and landing pages that feed directly into your workflows. No need for separate tools.

CRM Sync & Auditing

Enterprise Salesforce sync with bidirectional updates, conflict resolution, and full audit logs.

Reporting

Campaign performance tied to pipeline and revenue by persona, segment, and lifecycle stage.

Liquid Templating

Advanced personalization with Liquid syntax for conditional content, loops, and dynamic blocks.

A/B Testing

Test subject lines, content, send times, and workflows to optimize every touchpoint.

RBAC Controls

Fine-grained role-based access control for teams. Enterprise-grade permissions.

The migration

The migration question, answered first

Marketo is embedded in how your team works, so it stays live while Conversion runs in parallel. Our team handles the move; yours keeps shipping campaigns the entire time.

Forward-deployed engineers run it

FDEs migrate your workflows, lists, templates, and scoring models, then QA every component before anything goes live.

About 1-2 hours a week from your team

For roughly three weeks. That's the full time commitment while the migration runs in the background.

Parallel run, zero downtime

Nothing is cut over until every workflow has been verified against the Marketo original. No dark period, no lost sends.

A team that stays embedded

Deployment strategists work inside your marketing org through launch and beyond, with structured workshops in the first weeks and as many as your team wants after.

Used by MOps teams replacing Marketo, Pardot, and HubSpot.

FAQ

Frequently asked questions

Every migration is led by a dedicated deployment strategist, with forward-deployed engineers moving your programs, smart lists, email templates, and scoring models. The average timeline is about four weeks, running in parallel with Marketo the whole way, and nothing is cut over until it has been verified against the original.

Yes. Conversion connects natively to Snowflake, BigQuery, Databricks, Redshift, and PostgreSQL. Tables and views become usable objects in the platform: available in segments, personalization, and workflow triggers, alongside your Salesforce custom objects. Marketing ops configures it in the UI, no engineering tickets required.

They handle the recurring operational work: ticket intake and triage, audience building from plain-English requests, pre-send campaign QA, list hygiene, and sync monitoring. Every agent is permission-scoped, approval-first, and fully auditable, so your team reviews anything before it ships.

No. Campaigns in Conversion work like Marketo programs, with member statuses, Salesforce campaign syncing, and hierarchical folder organization. Workflows cover the same trigger-and-filter automation as Smart Campaigns, plus triggers from warehouse data changes, product events, and custom object updates. Scoring, routing, forms, landing pages, and reporting tied to pipeline are all included.

No. The platform is built for marketing operations teams at enterprise companies, but common tasks like building emails, creating segments, and launching workflows are straightforward. Teams evaluating both consistently tell us Conversion is more capable without being harder to use.
