If you don&#8217;t use Daylite in conjunction with Direct Mail, then this blog post will probably not interest you. If you do, however, then you might be interested in what has changed.<\/p>\n<p>Direct Mail now synchronizes unsubscribe information back to Daylite. Previously, if a contact was \u00a0marked as &#8220;unsubscribed&#8221; in Direct Mail, that information would not appear anywhere in Daylite. Starting in version 3.5, when a contact is marked as &#8220;unsubscribed&#8221; in Direct Mail, the corresponding contact in Daylite will be moved to a group called &#8220;Unsubscribes&#8221; the next time you sync. The &#8220;Unsubscribes&#8221; group in Daylite is created for you automatically and will appear as a sub-group of the Daylite group you sync with.<\/p>\n<p>Here&#8217;s an example. Let&#8217;s say you have synced Direct Mail to the &#8220;Mailing List&#8221; group in Daylite. Here&#8217;s what your group looks like in Daylite:<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-432\" alt=\"The &quot;Mailing List&quot; group in Daylite\" src=\"https:\/\/directmailmac.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/03\/before-dl.jpg\" width=\"500\" height=\"300\" srcset=\"https:\/\/directmailmac.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/03\/before-dl.jpg 500w, https:\/\/directmailmac.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/03\/before-dl-300x180.jpg 300w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 500px) 100vw, 500px\" \/><\/p>\n<p>\u2026and here&#8217;s what it looks like in Direct Mail:<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-433\" alt=\"The &quot;Mailing List&quot; group in Direct Mail\" src=\"https:\/\/directmailmac.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/03\/dm-before.jpg\" width=\"500\" height=\"310\" srcset=\"https:\/\/directmailmac.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/03\/dm-before.jpg 500w, https:\/\/directmailmac.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/03\/dm-before-300x186.jpg 300w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 500px) 100vw, 500px\" \/><\/p>\n<p>Now let&#8217;s say that Victor Chan unsubscribes from our list:<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-434\" alt=\"Victor Chan unsubscribes\" src=\"https:\/\/directmailmac.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/03\/chan-unsub.jpg\" width=\"457\" height=\"38\" srcset=\"https:\/\/directmailmac.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/03\/chan-unsub.jpg 457w, https:\/\/directmailmac.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/03\/chan-unsub-300x24.jpg 300w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 457px) 100vw, 457px\" \/><\/p>\n<p>The next time sync Direct Mail with Daylite, Victor Chan will be moved out of the &#8220;Mailing List&#8221; group and into the &#8220;Unsubscribes&#8221; group. Victor Chan will also disappear from your list in Direct Mail (as Victor is no longer in the &#8220;Mailing List&#8221; group that Direct Mail syncs with):<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-435\" alt=\"Victor Chan now appears in the &quot;Unsubscribes&quot; group in Daylite\" src=\"https:\/\/directmailmac.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/03\/chan-unsub-dl.jpg\" width=\"510\" height=\"472\" srcset=\"https:\/\/directmailmac.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/03\/chan-unsub-dl.jpg 510w, https:\/\/directmailmac.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/03\/chan-unsub-dl-300x277.jpg 300w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 510px) 100vw, 510px\" \/><\/p>\n<h3>A Note on Performance<\/h3>\n<p>If you have a large number of unsubscribes that have not been synced over to Daylite yet, you may find that the syncing process takes a long time to complete. We are working with Marketcircle to improve sync performance in future versions of Daylite.<\/p>\n<h3>Conclusion<\/h3>\n<p>We hope you find this improvement to Daylite syncing useful in your day-to-day workflow. Please let us know if you have any questions\u2014and please let your friends know about how easy it is to use Daylite with Direct Mail!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The just-released Direct Mail 3.5 update includes some changes to how Daylite syncing works.
