Account Engagement Automation Meets Alpaco Production

Salesforce Account Engagement (formerly Pardot) is the premier B2B marketing automation platform for qualifying leads, powering drip campaigns, and closing enterprise pipeline. Yet B2B marketing teams often hit barriers when trying to create modern, responsive email designs within Account Engagement’s legacy layout templates or Lightning email builder.

Alpaco serves as the upstream design system engine for Salesforce Account Engagement teams. Designers lock typography, call-to-action buttons, and responsive grid layouts. B2B marketers assemble high-impact nurture emails and webinar invites in minutes — with total brand compliance and native Handlebars Merge Language (HML) support.

Creative Freedom with Design System Certainty

Template engineers have complete creative freedom to build custom HTML and Salesforce HML modules during setup. Once in the Email Design System, daily campaign creators are fully alleviated from HTML — assembling layouts with drag-and-drop ease and 100% brand certainty.

Support Across Account Engagement Email Formats

Create and sync modular assets across Account Engagement email templates, Engagement Studio automated sequences, and list email broadcasts.

Zero Data Exposure

Alpaco operates strictly upstream in the email creation layer. No access to prospect databases, Pardot lists, or CRM opportunity values — your Salesforce prospect data remains protected inside your Salesforce org.
