You can quickly connect your Dotdigital and Magento 2 accounts with a Dotdigital API user. This process automatically syncs your data between Dotdigital and Magento.

After installation the integration:

  • Creates, syncs, and maps data fields to Dotdigital.

  • Creates lists in Dotdigital for your Customers, Subscribers, and Guests. Lists are named using your store name as a prefix, for example, Store name - Customers.

  • Turns on sync for Customers, Guests, Subscribers, Orders, and your Catalog.

  • Syncs some starter ecommerce data to Dotdigital using orders and product data in your Magento 2 store.

    • This gives you instant access to our Commerce intelligence tools.

    • After you starter data has synced, the rest of your data continues to sync in the background. The amount of time this takes depends on how much data you need to sync across.

  • Checks the Dotdigital cron jobs are running correctly.
