Customers who are using Interest Areas in Personify can sync recipient subscription data to Personify from Higher Logic Thrive Marketing Enterprise (Thrive Marketing Enterprise). This is a one-way transmission from Thrive Marketing Enterprise to Personify.
While subscription activity can be explicitly managed in either Thrive Marketing Enterprise or Personify, it is recommended that Thrive Marketing Enterprise be the database of record for your subscription activity. If subscriptions are managed in Personify, there would have to be a custom Personify link appended to message templates.
The following subscription types can be mapped to Personify:
- Unsubscribe to Group Categories or Group
- Unsubscribe to Message Categories
This article describes the different types of subscription activities that can be written to Personify via the dbo.CUS_OPT_IN table.
