Syncing contact scoring
By default, the sync setting will be manual only.
In order to activate contact scoring, you'll need to set it to perform a daily sync. This coincides with the fact that Dotdigital itself performs a calculation of contact scoring every 24 hours.
After the first sync is complete, you'll see the new fields populated for your contacts, leads and person accounts.
