How to connect Pardot to Databox
In order to connect your Pardot Account to Databox, you must provide a Pardot Business Unit ID and create a Pardot OAuth App to generate a Consumer Key and Consumer Secret.
Pro Tip: In order to connect Pardot to Databox, you need to have some permissions enabled in your Pardot Account. Learn more here.
To find your Pardot Business Unit ID in Salesforce, follow the steps below:
- Login to your Salesforce Account using the same account you use to log in to Pardot
- Navigate to the Setup tab
- Type Pardot in the Search bar
- In the lefthand menu, navigate to Pardot > Analytics > Pardot Account Setup
- Copy the Business Unit ID
You may have multiple Pardot business units available. Use the Business Unit ID of the Pardot Account you want to connect with Databox.
To create a Pardot OAuth App, follow the steps below:
- Connected App Name: user’s choice of name (i.e, Pardot)
- API Name: user’s choice of name (i.e, Pardot_API)
- Contact Email: user’s choice
- Select the Enable OAuth Settings checkbox
- Insert the following Callback URL: https://connect.databox.com/callback
- At Selected OAuth Scopes subsection move the following OAuth Scopes from Available OAuth Scopes left box to the Selected OAuth Scopes right box:
- Manage Pardot services (pardot_api)
- Access the identity URL service (id, profile, email, address, phone)
- Perform requests at any time (refresh_token, offline_access)
Pro Tip: Before copying the Consumer Key and Consumer Secret to Databox, it’s recommended to wait 2-10 minutes for the created app to be recognized by the Salesforce server.
Now you're ready to finish the connection process in Databox.
11. Once you've entered your Business Unit ID, Consumer Key and Consumer Secret, click Activate
At this point, the connection process is complete and Databox has been connected to Pardot.
What Salesforce permissions to you need to connect Pardot with Databox?
You must be able to see the App Manager in your Pardot Account. This will confirm if you have proper permissions needed.
Navigate to the App Manager in your Pardot Account and uncheck the field "Require Proof Key for Code Exchange (PKCE) Extension for Support Authorization Flows". You must have this field unchecked to be able to connect Pardot to Databox.
The only checkbox you need to have checked in your Pardot account is 'Require Secret for Web Server Flow' to be able to connect Pardot to Databox.
What Salesforce permissions do you need to create a Pardot OAuth App?
Pardot OAuth App user must have System Admin or Developers permissions for Salesforce Lightning.

What's the maximum amount of historical data initially available when you use a new Pardot Data Source Metric in Databox?
Data is synced for the Metrics that are being used in your Account, so when you first use a new Pardot Metric, the maximum amount of historical data available is 36 months.
Certain Metrics may have more or less historical data available. For example, Metrics that represent the total Metric value (i.e. ''Total Visitors'', ''Total Campaigns'', ''Forms'', etc.) do not have historical data available when first used. We only pull in the total current value, but we will accumulate historical data for these Metrics in Databox over time and the metric value will be shown cumulatively.
For more information about the amount of historical data available for a specific Metric, please contact our Support Team at help@databox.com.
Pro Tip: In order to start syncing data for a Metric, you can add it to your Metrics screen, use it in a Scorecard, set a Goal around it, create an Alert for it, or add it to a Databoard. Learn more here.
The amount of historical data you're able to access in Databox is dependent on your Databox plan. Learn more here,
What time zone does Pardot data sync in?
Pardot data is synced in UTC time zone.
How to access pre-built Pardot Templates
- Navigate to Databoards > Public Templates
- In the Data Source drop-down list, select Pardot
- To view a preview of the Template populated with dummy data, click Preview
- To pull the Template into your Account and re-populate it with your own Pardot data, click Use Template
- Select the appropriate Pardot Data Source from the drop-down list to complete the process. The Databoard will be re-populated with data from the selected Pardot Account and can be found on the Databoards page
Pro Tip: Once the Databoard is available on the Databoards page, it is completely disconnected from the public Template. Therefore, you can further customize this Databoard to meet your specific needs using the Designer.

Metric Considerations
- Due to technical limitations, the Date Range ''All Time'' will return a maximum 36 months of historical data.
However, Metrics that represents total values (i.e. 'Total Visitors'', ''Total Campaigns'', ''Forms'', etc.) will always show current total value when the ''All Time'' Date Range is selected.
