Sync configuration
Once you've set up your Contentstack destination and have a model to pull data from, you can set up your sync configuration to begin syncing data. Go to the Syncs overview page and click the Add sync button to begin. Then, select the relevant model and the Contentstack destination you want to sync to.
Syncing users
Sync data from any source to Contentstack users.
Record matching
To match rows from your model to users in Contentstack, you need to select the model column that contains values that match the Personalize User UID field. Refer to the record matching docs for more information.
Field mapping
Hightouch lets you sync user fields via field mapping. You can map data from any of your model columns to default and custom user fields. Ensure your model's columns have the same data types as the fields you want to sync to.
Adding users to audiences
Contentstack allows you to create dynamic user audiences or segments based on user attributes and rule-based conditions. If you’d like to manually associate a user with a specific audience, you can do so by creating a custom attribute in your Personalize Attributes to represent the audience ID, name, or a list of audience identifiers. Then, configure the audience’s rule to reference this custom attribute, and ensure user update syncs include the appropriate value to trigger inclusion.
