How do I control when contacts sync from Unify to my CRM?
Last updated: March 31, 2025
Context
When using Unify's "Sync to CRM" node in a Play, it creates new contacts in your CRM for all people added to a sequence and updates existing contacts. However, you may want to limit syncing to only those contacts who have engaged with your sequences.
Answer
To sync only specific contacts (such as those who have replied to your sequences) to your CRM, follow these steps:
Remove the "Sync to CRM" node from your existing Play that enrolls people in Sequences
Create a new Play specifically for CRM syncing
Set the audience criteria in the new Play to include only people who have been enrolled in a Sequence and replied
Add the "Sync to CRM" node to this new Play
This approach ensures that:
Only engaged contacts are created as new contacts in your CRM
Existing CRM contacts are only updated when they meet your engagement criteria
Your contact database in your CRM remains focused on qualified prospects
Note: The "Sync to CRM" node will both create new contacts and update existing ones based on your configured field mappings (such as "unify written at" and "latest sequence").
