Source-specific reporting

Use the data for questions it can actually answer.

Every implementation confirms access, definitions, historical depth, refresh cadence, and validation before the source becomes part of a decision view.

01

Potential inputs

  • Pseudonymous record IDs
  • Lead, application, and enrollment stages
  • Source, campus, and program fields
  • Stage dates and status history
02

Decisions supported

  • Which sources produce confirmed enrollment outcomes?
  • Where does funnel progression weaken?
  • How do campuses and programs compare?
03

Implementation requirements

  • Approved Salesforce permissions
  • Documented objects and fields
  • Agreed stage and outcome definitions

What to validate

A connected source still needs context.

Pennant preserves the distinction between platform signals, reporting inputs, and institution-confirmed enrollment outcomes.

  • Custom Salesforce implementations require custom mapping
  • Available history depends on retained source records
  • Pennant does not require student names or contact details

Integration FAQ

Questions teams ask about Salesforce.

Does Pennant replace Salesforce?

No. Salesforce remains the CRM and system of record. Pennant uses agreed fields to provide a normalized enrollment marketing decision layer.

Can Pennant support custom Salesforce objects?

Potentially. Custom objects and relationships are reviewed during implementation to confirm access, meaning, coverage, and reporting value.
