Sync Detail

1. Enter the name of the Sync
2. Select the frequency that you would like the Data Sync to run. The sync will update with new contacts that meet the Report criteria on this frequency
3. Create New - If on the drop down of the schedule you do not find a suitable wait period you've got the ability to create your own wait period
4. Add to Group - If this checkbox is ticked the data will be added to a group inside of GatorMail, if unticked the data will just be passed into GatorMail

Mapping

1. Search for and select the Report you wish to syncronise from SalesForce.
2. Click on the Mappings Tab

Mapping enables you to select the fields that pass over from SalesForce to GatorMail. By bringing over the fields it enables you to personalise your email, apply dynamic content blocks and use the group builder to segment your data.

3. Select the Source Field (this is the name of the field inside of SalesForce)
4. Select the GatorMail field
5. Sync Direction- If there are two arrows it means the information will overwrite CRM, if there is one arrow the information will just pass from SalesForce but will not overwrite the information from GatorMail back to SalesForce
6. Click Add Mapping.

Once the mapping has been added for any future syncs, they will automatically be added.

7. Click on the Save Button
8. Click on the Change State button

9. Click on the drop down and change the Sync State to Enabled, then click Change State

Once you click on the Close button it will redirect you to the Sync list where you can view the Syncs that have been set up.

If you set up the Sync to pass into a group inside of CommuniGator, you will then attach the group to your campaign inside of the GatorMail Campaign.
