The following information describes the mapping between Salesforce contact and newsletter subscription fields, and Arlo contact and newsletter subscription fields.
Only contacts associated with registrations or leads in Arlo will be synchronised to Salesforce. All other contacts should be created in Salesforce, not Arlo (as Salesforce is treated as the master record-holder).
