Note Pardot is now known as Marketing Cloud Account Engagement. We wish we could snap our fingers to update the name everywhere, but you can expect to see the previous name in a few places until we replace it, including in the app itself.

To work with Account Engagement Campaigns in Account Engagement Lightning App, add the Account Engagement Campaigns tab to the navigation.

1. Open the Connected Campaigns page.
    - In Account Engagement, open **Settings** and click **Edit**. Scroll to Connected Campaigns.
    - In the Lightning app, select **Account Engagement Settings** and then **Connectors**. Click the gear icon to edit the Salesforce connector, and select the **Campaigns** tab.
2. In the campaign record types section, deselect Master Record Type.
3. Create a Account Engagement record type to use for syncing Salesforce campaigns.
    1. From the Campaigns tab, click ![Gear icon for Setup.](https://sf-zdocs-cdn-prod.zoominsoftware.com/tdta-sales-sales_core-264-0-0-production-enus/3c339c40-ca6c-49ba-9c6e-684be7a55f80/resources-global/_corporate/images/gear.png) and select **Edit Object**.
    2. Click **Record Types**, and then **New**.
    3. Create and save one or more record types to use with Account Engagement campaigns.
4. Create Salesforce campaigns for default Account Engagement campaigns.
    1. From the Campaigns tab, click **New**.
    2. Create three campaigns: Website Tracking, Email Plug-In, and Salesforce Sync.
5. From the Account Engagement Campaigns tab, map default Account Engagement campaigns.
    
    1. For the Email Plug-In campaign, click the action menu and select **Connect to CRM Campaign**.
    2. Select the Email Plug-In Salesforce campaign that you created in Step 4.
    3. Repeat these steps for the Website Tracking and Salesforce Sync campaigns.
    
    If you have any other existing Account Engagement campaigns, repeat steps 4 and 5 for them so that every campaign has a counterpart. For a large number of existing campaigns, you can [connect them in bulk](https://help.salesforce.com/s/articleView?id=sales.campaigns_bulk_map_pardot_sfdc_excel.htm&release=264.0.0&type=5 "The easiest way to audit and organize your campaigns in bulk is to download our mapping workbook. It contains your campaign names and IDs in three worksheets. Copy and paste values from the workbook tabs to align the campaigns in the Connect tab. Then, upload the completed file.").
6. Return to the Salesforce Connector setup page in Account Engagement Settings, and then enter a default campaign.
    1. Open the **Connector Settings** tab, and select **Automatically create prospects in Pardot if they are created as a Lead or Contact in Salesforce**.
    2. In the dropdown, select the Salesforce Sync campaign that you created in Step 4.
7. Return to Connected Campaigns settings and turn over campaign management to Salesforce.
    1. From the Salesforce Connector setup page, click **Campaigns**.
    2. In the campaign record types section, select the Account Engagement record type that you created in Step 3.
    3. Select **Use Salesforce to manage all campaigns**.

Now you’re ready to start creating Salesforce campaigns. Each time you create a campaign in Salesforce, an equivalent campaign is created in Account Engagement. That Account Engagement campaign generates new prospects and tracks marketing engagement, which appears as Engagement History on your campaign records.

To automatically create lead records from new prospects, add an assignment completion action to your marketing forms.
