Connector Specifics

Object Peculiarities

When importing data to the Contacts table, you must map the required ListId field and one of the following fields: PhoneNumber, FaxNumber or Email.

Incremental Replication and Synchronization

Replication with Incremental Updates is supported for the following objects: Contacts, DeliveryIssues, EmailAddresses, EmailCampaigns, FaxHistory, LettersHistory, MasterEmailTemplates, MMSCampaigns, PostcardsHistory, SMSCampaigns, TransactionalEmailHistory, VoiceHistory.

The Contacts object has both CreatedDate and UpdatedDate fields, thus, Incremental Replication detects both new records and updated records.

For all other objects, the Incremental Replication detects only the new records because all these objects have the CreatedDate field and do not have the UpdatedDate field required for tracking the updates.

Synchronization is supported for the Contacts object only.
