What does Right Now Sync to integration setting mean?

Right Now sync means that OptiMonk send contact info of multistep popups into your integration of your choice one by one. For example, if a visitor is asked to provide their email on the first page of the popup, OptiMonk will send their email address into your marketing automation software right away without waiting for the user to fill in other input field on other pages of your popup.

Please note that sending their email address (or any other piece of contact information) into your marketing automation software right away might trigger an email flow even if the same visitor is asked to give their phone number at a later step. 

What is Smart Sync?

Smart Sync has two main advantages compared to 'Right now sync':
1. If a visitor completes each step of you popup, OptiMonk will wait up until the last step to send in all contact information into your marketing automation software. This way, if a phone number or additional contact info is provided, your marketing automation software will receive all contact information at once and e-mail flows or other welcome flows will not start prematurely.

2. Smart Sync can detect if your visitor abandons your popup without filling out all input fields and sends all gathered data into your integration up until that point. So you don't have to worry about sending all their contact info in at once. OptiMonk will make sure that no piece of contact information will get lost along the way.
