Default Field Mapping
Depending on the other app you're syncing with, you'll see a number of standard Direct Mail for Mac fields being mapped by default. For instance, in a connection with Google Contacts, the default field mapping looks like this:
PieSync syncs the default name field(s) that come with the apps. Sometimes they have a different structure in both apps you connect. E.g. first and last names are separate in app A and joint in a single field in app B. In the background, PieSync joins first and last names together from app A to B and separates them again from app B to A. Our algorithm is smart about which part it updates in app B
Customizable Field Mapping
Direct Mail Newsletter
You can custom map your Direct Mail for Mac Custom Fields and any additional standard fields that aren't included in the default mapping yet. Bear in mind a mapping between two fields can only exist if the types of fields are compatible and the particular compatibility will determine the direction of the mapping as well. More information on Customizable Field Mapping HERE.

Syncing Unsubscribes/Deletions
Currently, there are no Direct Mail for Mac integrations on the PieSync platform that support our Deletions sync.
In connections with Direct Mail for Mac where adding a tag in app B is a supported trigger, you are able to sync unsubscribes one-way. When a contact unsubscribes in Direct Mail for Mac, we add the tag 'PieSync_Unsubscribes' to that same contact in app B. You will be able to review this segment first before e.g. deleting or taking action on that side of the sync.
The availability to Sync Unsubscribes/Deletions is app and connection dependent. If the box (screenshots above) is not there to tick, it's simply not possible. We need to be able to detect unsubscribes/deletions on one side and at the same time be able to create add the tag 'PieSync Unsubscribes' or ‘PieSync Trash’ on the other side. More Information on Syncing Unsubscribes here or on Deletions here.
