What is a Dataset?

A dataset is a reference copy of your marketing automation platform data (such as Marketo or Salesforce) that syncs into allGood’s environment on a specified interval. Your marketing automation system remains the source of truth — allGood maintains a synchronized copy for efficient lookup and processing purposes. Users can view and refresh datasets, but cannot create or modify them directly. Datasets are managed by the allGood team and kept in sync with your source systems.

​
Why Datasets Exist

​
API Limitations

Marketing automation platforms, particularly Marketo, have API limitations that make real-time lookups unreliable for the kind of operations allGood performs at scale:
  • Rate limits and concurrency caps: Restrictions on how quickly data can be retrieved on demand
  • Response consistency issues: Marketo may return incomplete or inaccurate information about what actually exists through the API
  • Query latency: Direct API queries introduce delays that compound when processing large volumes of data

​
Performance Benefits

Querying allGood’s cached database copy is faster and more reliable than making repeated API calls for every lookup operation. This approach ensures:
  • Consistent response times regardless of your platform’s current API load
  • Accurate data validation without taxing your API limits
  • Scalable processing that doesn’t impact your other integrations and workflows
Salesforce’s API does not exhibit the same consistency issues, so dataset functionality is primarily a solution for Marketo-specific challenges.

​
Sync Cadence

Dataset synchronization is fully configurable based on your needs:
  • Standard cadence: Overnight syncs for most use cases
  • High-frequency cadence: Hourly syncs when near-real-time data is required
The sync process is engineered to minimize impact on your marketing automation platform’s API usage, ensuring that other integrations and processes running in your environment remain unaffected.

​
What Datasets Enable

Datasets are a foundational component that power multiple allGood capabilities by providing fast, reliable access to your existing database:

​
Data Enrichment Optimization

Before sending contact data to external enrichment providers, allGood checks the dataset to determine if the data already exists in your database:
  • Smart enrichment: Only enrich fields that are truly missing, not ones that already exist in your system
  • Cost optimization: Avoid unnecessary enrichment calls for data you already have
  • Faster processing: Skip enrichment entirely for records that are already complete

​
Lead Screening and Validation

Validate incoming leads against your existing database before processing:
  • Existing contact detection: Identify whether a lead is already in your system
  • Data completeness checking: Determine what information you already have for a contact
  • Account relationship validation: Verify connections to existing account records

​
Lead Routing and Assignment

Route leads based on existing database relationships:
  • Account-based routing: Assign leads to the same owner as their associated account
  • Territory-based assignment: Route based on existing territory rules in your database
  • Relationship-aware routing: Consider existing contact relationships when assigning new leads

​
Lead-to-Account Matching

Connect incoming leads to existing account records using your database as reference:
  • Company matching: Link leads to accounts based on company name, domain, and other identifiers
  • Hierarchy awareness: Understand parent-subsidiary relationships from your existing data

​
Reporting and Analytics

Provide insights into your data quality and coverage:
  • Data completeness analysis: Identify gaps in your existing database
  • Quality trends: Monitor data quality metrics over time

​
Getting Started

Datasets are configured and managed by the allGood team as part of your integration setup. If you’re interested in enabling dataset functionality for your organization:
  1. Review your integration: Ensure your Marketo or Salesforce connection is fully configured
  2. Discuss sync cadence: Determine whether overnight or hourly syncing best fits your needs
  3. Contact allGood: Reach out to your allGood representative to enable dataset functionality
Once enabled, datasets work transparently in the background — you’ll benefit from faster processing and more intelligent automation without changing your day-to-day workflows.
