About the Magento Integration

Synchronise data from Magento to APSIS One - manage consent, sync customer data and create rich customer journeys with marketing automation. Read on to learn more about how the integration works!


In this Article


Full Sync & Real-Time Sync

There are two features that empower data transfer from Magento into APSIS One: Real-time Sync and Full Sync.

A Real-time sync takes place whenever a contact card is created or updated in Magento. This results in a corresponding Profile being updated or created in APSIS One, matching the state of the contact in the Magento.

A Full sync systematically goes through all contacts in your Magento account and either creates a new Profile in APSIS One, or updates the existing Profile data. We recommended using this feature after setting up your initial mappings, or when you intend to sync new mappings.

How Profiles are synced

When a Profile is created in APSIS One, it will receive the customer ID as a unique identifier, and Email and SMS consent is updated according to the chosen consent mapping. All data is written through Magento.

If a Real-time or Full sync detects a new email address for a Profile, the following will take place:

  1. The new email address will be opted-in to all Subscriptions which the old address had given consent to;

  2. The old email address will be opted-out from all Subscriptions and lose any consent, as it's no longer in use.


What can be Synced?

Consent

Sync the freely given consent stored on a Customer or Subscriber in Magento to a Profile in APSIS One. Without consent no communication can be send.

If a Customer or Subscriber in Magento decides to unsubscribe or a Magento user untick the consent box the corresponding Profile in APSIS One will also be opted-out. Read more about Consent Mapping.

Customer & Subscriber data

With easy data mapping you decide what data should be synced.

Sync data from a Customer or Subscriber in Magento to Profiles in APSIS One. By mapping data fields to Profile Attributes in APSIS One Profiles will be updated with data from Magento at all times. Read more about Field Mapping.

Historical data

Sync up to two years of the following historical data:

  • Customer/Subscriber Places an Order

  • Customer Adds A Product to Cart

  • Customer Leaves a Product Review

  • Customer Adds Product To Wishlist
