The Google Analytics 360 integration with Salesforce Marketing Cloud lets you publish audiences created in Analytics 360 to Marketing Cloud, and use those audiences in your Salesforce email and SMS direct-marketing campaigns.
You can use these audiences in Marketing Cloud Journey Builder.
How it works
When a user clicks through to your site from a Marketing Cloud campaign that has Analytics auto-tagging enabled, Analytics automatically detects and stores the Marketing Cloud Subscriber ID with your other Analytics first-party data.
Any audiences that you create in Analytics and publish to Marketing Cloud are populated in Analytics and surfaced in Marketing Cloud as a list of Subscriber IDs.

- Editor role for the Analytics property for initial link setup and audience publishing
- Administrator permission in Marketing Cloud for initial link setup

Publish audiences from Analytics to Marketing Cloud
Once you’ve established the link from Analytics to Marketing Cloud, you can publish audiences to Marketing Cloud.
For these audiences, choose Salesforce Marketing Cloud as the destination.
Learn more about creating and publishing audiences in Analytics.
These audiences appear in the Audiences list in Analytics (Admin > Property column > Audience definitions > Audiences). Salesforce Marketing Cloud appears as one value in the Type column in the Audiences list.
Allow up to 24 hours for audiences to be visible in Salesforce Marketing Cloud and available for targeting.
