Sync new or existing via the Integrations page (best way to sync multiple groups at a time)


Unsynced groups in external apps

You may have some groups that are in the external app(s) that you have integrated but have not yet been synced to PastorsLine. To sync them:

1. Click on Groups (left-hand most column in image below, yellow #1).

If you have set your Group App Settings to All Groups (middle column in image below, yellow #2), then the webpage you need will automatically open.

If not,

  • click on All Groups (middle column in image below, yellow #2).

  • click on View All (third column in image below, yellow #3).

The All Groups page will open.

4. Click on the Groups in External Apps tab (blue box in image above).

5. Click on Sync Now to sync your external groups (yellow arrow in image above).
โ€‹6. The following form will pop up. Complete it and click SAVE to confirm your action.

NOTE: This is the Add New Group form because you need to give a name to your unnamed group(s).

Sync new or existing via the Integrations page

This is the best way to sync multiple groups at a time.

GET TO YOUR INTEGRATIONS PAGE

Step 1: Log into PastorsLine.

Step 2: Get to your Integrations page.

OPTION 1: Click on the Integrations icon (gold box + Option 1 in image below).

OPTION 2: Click on your Dashboard --> Locate the Sitemap section --> Click on Integrations (turquoise flow + Option 2 in image below).

Step 3: The Integrations page will open up, showing all your current integrations. Scroll down, select the Free tab (gold circle in image below) to set up Mailchimp (brown arrow in image below).

NEXT STEPS

  1. Under the Mailchimp Integration section, click either Select List(s) to Sync or Select Group(s) to Sync.

2. Toggle on the List(s) you want to be brought over as a group into PastorsLine, and click Sync List(s).

3. Do the same for Groups that you want brought over to PastorsLine as groups, and click Sync List Group(s).

All of your contacts do come over into PastorsLine when you turn on the integration with Mailchimp. What we do during your initial sync is we get ALL the audiences AND we get ALL the contacts in each audiences and treat them separate and bring those over into your PastorsLine account.

That means if you have a contact with email address [email protected] in both Audience 1 and Audience 2 in your Mailchimp account, you would see 2 records of [email protected] get imported into PastorsLine. the reason for this one is in MC, if you delete [email protected] from Audience 1, the other email is still going to stay in Audience 2. Each contact in specific audiences are treated differently in Mailchimp, so they are treated differently in PastorsLine.

*** DON'T SEE THE LISTS OR GROUPS YOU NEED? ***

Search for them (turquoise box in image below).
Also try refreshing the pop-up box (gold arrow in image below).
