Clients using Interest Areas in Personify can sync recipient subscription data to Personify from Real Magnet. This is a one-way transmission from Real Magnet to Personify.

While subscription activity can be managed explicitly within Real Magnet or within Personify, it is generally recommended that Real Magnet remains the database of record for your subscription activity. If it is the latter, subscriptions are not managed in Real Magnet and there would need to be a custom Personify link appended to message templates.

The following subscription types can be mapped back 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 back to Personify via the dbo.CUS_OPT_IN table.

Update Individual Record Preferences

Typically, Real Magnet is the database of record when it comes to maintaining a recipient’s subscription preference. Recipient subscription preferences are managed by:

• Users logging into Real Magnet and manually changing their preference
• A recipient clicking an unsubscribe link
• Via a subscription management page hosted by Real Magnet

If a recipient needs to subscribe or unsubscribe, we recommend following any of the steps above.
