A Recruitment office wants to use Pardot and Salesforce with the Education Data Architecture (EDA)...

The consultant should discuss with the Recruitment office that EDA requires custom automation for lead conversion as a compatibility consideration for using Pardot and Salesforce with EDA. Lead conversion is a process that converts a Lead record into an Account, a Contact, and an Opportunity record in Salesforce. EDA does not support the standard lead conversion process in Salesforce, because it uses different account models and objects to store information about individuals and organizations. The consultant should create custom automation for lead conversion, such as using Process Builder, Flow, or Apex, to map the Lead fields to the appropriate EDA fields and objects. Pardot being incompatible with the Household account model, the Do Not Contact TDTM record needing to be disabled, or Pardot beingable to create only Leads and Contacts are not compatibility considerations for using Pardot and Salesforce with EDA.
