Syncing the records between MailerLite and CRM

The sync between MailerLite and CRM is one-way. You can export your records from CRM to MailerLite. Here are the steps to do it.

1. Now you can sync your contacts and leads with MailerLite by going to the respective module and clicking on “Actions” and “Sync to MailerLite”.

Note:

You can also sync only selected Contacts/Leads by applying a filter or by choosing the records manually.
If you export the same records to MailerLite multiple times, you don’t have to worry about creating duplicates. MailerLite recognises the duplicates and ignores such entries.

2. After completing the sync, you will be notified of the status.
