Drip Marketing Group Sync Options

Many ACT! users sort their contacts by ACT! Groups. Therefore ACT! Groups provide an easy way to maintain the contacts in your Drip Marketing campaigns. Using “Group Sync” ensures that the contacts in your ACT! Group are always in your Drip Marketing campaign.
Drip Marketing “Group Sync” is a powerful feature that allows you to keep exactly the same contacts in your Drip Marketing campaign as are in your ACT! Group. For example, you may have a “Dynamic Group” in ACT! that is always changing. If you want to market to this group and only this group, then using Group Sync will ensure that your Drip Marketing Campaign only contains these contacts.

   “New” – Contacts exist in the ACT! Group, but not in the Drip Marketing Campaign
   "Missing” - Contacts exist in the Drip Marketing Campaign, but not in the ACT! Group.
