Frequently asked questions (FAQs)
A Pulse workflow starts from a specific event in Paylocity, such as a payroll run completes, and runs a single defined action in Salesforce Marketing Cloud each time that event fires. Exact triggers and actions are configured per workflow.
Yes. Pulse listens for the event in Paylocity and pushes the update to Salesforce Marketing Cloud as soon as it happens, rather than waiting for a scheduled batch sync. Typical delivery is near-instant, depending on the source platform's webhook or event support.
Yes, though it runs as a separate one-way workflow in the other direction. Commercient can set up a second Pulse trigger so that when a contact opens a campaign in Salesforce Marketing Cloud, the update flows back into Paylocity automatically.
Pulse workflows are event-driven, so they react as soon as Paylocity emits the triggering event. Reaction time is typically within seconds, depending on how quickly Paylocity delivers the event.
