    • This will sync emails to and from contacts inside of Infusionsoft only. If the contact isn't in the system then it won't sync the email.

Reminder: The emails will only sync going forward if there is a contact record inside of Infusionsoft with the same email address. This sync can take between 30 minutes - 2 hours. To run a test put the Date and time that you are sending the email then wait and come back to it later. This way if it doesn't sync you can see when the email was sent and we can try to figure out why.
