Salesforce Marketing Cloud

Salesforce Marketing Cloud Engagement is an enterprise digital marketing platform for customer journeys, email marketing, mobile messaging (SMS/MMS and push), advertising, content management and marketing data. Its API surface is tenant-scoped: every REST call goes to https://{subdomain}.rest.marketingcloudapis.com and every SOAP call to https://{subdomain}.soap.marketingcloudapis.com, with OAuth 2.0 tokens issued per tenant from https://{subdomain}.auth.marketingcloudapis.com/v2/token and scopes granted to an Installed Package rather than requested at authorization time. Product areas are versioned independently at v1 behind route prefixes (/asset, /contacts, /interaction, /data, /messaging, /push, /sms, /automation, /hub, /platform). Salesforce also operates a first-party hosted MCP server for Marketing Cloud Engagement, generally available since June 2026, exposing 142 tools across eleven product areas, and an outbound webhook product, the Event Notification Service, with HMAC-SHA256 signed callbacks.

Salesforce Marketing Cloud publishes 17 API contracts indexed on the APIs.io network, including Assets API, Contacts API, Journeys API, and 14 more. Tagged areas include Automation, Content Management, Customer Journey, Digital Marketing, and Email.

The Salesforce Marketing Cloud catalog on APIs.io includes 1 event-driven AsyncAPI specification, 1 JSON-LD context, and 3 Spectral governance rulesets.

Salesforce Marketing Cloud’s developer surface includes authentication, engineering blog, documentation, API reference, support, pricing, changelog, and 55 more developer resources.

What people ask Salesforce Marketing Cloud 3

The questions people put to an LLM, and the jobs they hand an agent, that Salesforce Marketing Cloud's APIs answer — each one linked to the operation that does it. Generated by API Evangelist

Salesforce Marketing Cloud Journeys API List journeys in Journey Builder “Which journeys do I have in Marketing Cloud and what status is each one in?” Create a new journey “How do I build a new customer journey through the API instead of Journey Builder's canvas?” Retrieve one journey's full definition “How can I see the activities, goals and exit criteria configured in a specific journey?” Update an existing journey “Can I change the activities of a journey that's still in draft?”

Salesforce Marketing Cloud Assets API List Content Builder assets “What emails, templates and images are in my Content Builder library?” Create a Content Builder asset “How do I upload a new HTML email into Content Builder programmatically?” Retrieve one asset by id “How can I pull the full content and folder of one specific asset?” Update an existing asset “How do I change the HTML of an email that's already in Content Builder?”

Salesforce Marketing Cloud Contacts API Create a contact “How do I add a new subscriber to Marketing Cloud's contact model?” Search contacts by criteria “How do I find a contact when I only know their email address?” Retrieve a contact by contact key “What attribute values are stored for a specific contact key?” Update a contact's attributes “How do I change an existing contact's email address without touching their other data?”

Regulatory Posture applies to this provider. Its tags matched the Telecommunications regime, so Regulatory Posture carries 15 points of the composite. If this regime is wrong for your business, say so on your provider repo — the applicability map is public and we will correct it.

Create-or-Update Ergonomics applies to this provider. This API accepts writes, so it carries 10 points of the composite. It is scored from the published contracts themselves: whether a caller can create-or-update in one call, whether the write accepts a key the caller already holds, and whether the response says which branch ran. Without that, every write needs a search-and-branch in front of it, and the first time that check is skipped a duplicate record is created. Scored against the observed mean rather than raw — a provider at the catalog average is unchanged by this facet, not penalised by it.

The six quality facets above are damped to 75 points between them, because the conditional facet above carries the other 25. That is why each facet's contribution is shown against a damped maximum: raising a quality facet moves the composite by 75% of its nominal weight, not 100%. The full arithmetic is at apis.io/rating/.

Agent readiness — checks not met, largest first (exact, from this profile):

A2A Agent Card +8 pts — a2a/-a2a.yml manifest, graded on conformance.grade against A2A 1.0.0
Documented Reversibility +6 pts — a reversal operation in the contract, graded up when a window is documented too
Pagination +5 pts — share of collection GETs (an array, or one wrapped in data/items/results ...) that declare a page/limit/offset/cursor parameter, a Link header or a next/cursor field; na with no collection GETs
Agentic Commerce Well-Known Document +5 pts — a parsing /.well-known/ucp.json or acp.json declaring a version and at least one service, OR (0.27) a live x402 payment challenge from _data/x402-adoption.json — `self` when its endpoints are on the provider's own domain, `platform` when they are on a vendor's

Markets this provider is in provisional

The Kin Score Market layer reads a provider inside its market: its position, and how deep its integrations go. Depth is only comparable within a position. Provisional and unweighted: not part of the Kin Score or agent readiness.

Market	Position	Depth	Registered MCP server	Declares compatibility
Commerce and CRM	gravity	52.8	-	-
Martech and Customer Data Platforms	gravity	52.8	-	-
HubSpot App Marketplace (CRM add-ons, outbound, performance marketing, chat)	gravity	52.8	-	-

Registered MCP server and declares compatibility are report only — not weighted. Undeclared means we found nothing we can read, so there is no number: we never infer integrations.
