Frequently Asked Questions

Can I use the same integration over multiple Event Lead Management accounts?
You must set up an independent integration link for each separate Event Lead Management account. A cost will apply for each additional account which needs an integration.

You must setup the integration prior to collecting data. Data collected before setting up the integration must be manually exported and imported using CSV or Excel.
