Sync Behavior Overview
Contact Fields
The integration gives you the flexibility to map Emma contact fields to the Kindful contact fields. There are a few protections to help keep your data safe from Emma field changes:

For fields which have been mapped:

Syncing Groups
Kindful Groups sync directly with Emma Groups. What this means is that when you are connected to Emma, and you create a Group in Kindful, that Group and included contacts will sync to Emma with the same name, and the same associated Contact records.
Contacts will be updated regularly across the platforms as changes are made to the corresponding records. New contacts can be added to a Group to bump the transition between the applications.
If the contact records already exist in Emma, they will receive this Group labeling in Emma to match the Kindful Group sync. Contacts that manage a "Subscription" in Emma does not have any effect on their Group status in Kindful.
Do note that Emma supports multiple groups of the same name and Kindful does not. In the event that a duplicate group exists in Emma, it will sync into Kindful with the name and a string of numbers behind it so you can differentiate the group in Kindful.
Prior to the initial sync between Emma and Kindful, if there are groups that exist in Emma that have the same name as groups that already exist in Kindful, these groups will be merged. For example, if there is a "Members" group in both Emma and Kindful before the initial sync occurs, after the sync, both groups will contain the same contacts.
If a group is deleted in Kindful, it deletes the corresponding group in Emma.
If a group is deleted in Emma, we remove the link to Emma in Kindful, but the group remains.
It is possible that you have more contacts in your Kindful Group than appear as contacts in the connected email marketing provider. To get a better understanding of why this might be, you can identify which of your Kindful Contacts are Email Solicitable (and able to be synced). To find this number, head to the individual Group page by clicking on the Group name link from your Contacts > Groups page in Kindful. Hover your mouse over the number below the "Total Members" section. Doing so will make the "Email Solicitable" number appear.
Split Emails
Emma allows for Split test emails to be sent. The stats from these types of emails will not sync info Kindful.
Emma to Kindful Sync
The integration is only designed to work if Emma is sending Kindful webhooks. This happens when new contacts are added to Emma, or updated within Emma's application. If you happen to import a CSV of contacts into Emma, those records will not sync to Kindful automatically.
How to Connect
Head to Apps > App Directory from your menu bar
Scroll through the list to locate Emma; click Learn More
Click the button to Connect (twice) and sign into your Emma account to Authorize the connection.
You will perform a mapping exercise to complete the setup, and once this is done, your contacts will begin flowing between applications.
