Salesforce - Import Leads and Contacts to Maropost

Points to Remember:

When the data push process from Salesforce into Maropost runs, any contacts in the Maropost list that are not included in the Salesforce report will be automatically unsubscribed from the list. This process ensures that the set of active contacts in the Maropost lists is always in sync with those from your Salesforce report.
The data push will run in batches of 2000 records each. Therefore, if you are pushing 10,000 Leads from a Salesforce report into a Maropost list, there will be 5 separate batches (equal to 5 API calls) to accomplish this push.
