Troubleshooting

Problem

Possible cause

Solution

Selected my Sendlane list in Rivo, but I can't see new customers with Rivo properties in Sendlane

Rivo does not create Contacts in Sendlane. It synchronizes with existing Contacts, using email matches

As Rivo pulls customer profiles from Shopify, you could consider integrating your store with Sendlane
