Use Smart Ingest to sync audiences into your Iterable static lists of users. With a static list sync, Smart Ingest automatically adds users to the Iterable list when they enter the data model, and removes users from the Iterable list when they leave the data model.
When you are planning to sync static lists, there are a few decisions to make for sync setup. For example, you need to select a list to sync users to. You must also have a data model ready that meets the requirements for this sync.

Data model requirements
To use this sync, your data model should contain:
A unique identifier to find users in Iterable (either user ID or email address, depending on the project type you’re using)
Any additional columns you want to sync to user profile fields when this sync runs.
Make sure your data model contains columns for each of the fields you intend to update in Iterable.
User matching
To identify which contacts to add or update in a segment, select a model column and the corresponding Iterable field. You can match on either email or user ID.
For more information on selecting an identifier to match users, read Users sync type > User matching.
Field mapping
You can sync columns from your model to user profile fields. If you send data for a custom field that doesn't exist, Iterable adds the field and automatically detects its type.
List selection setup
When you set up a static list sync, you need to decide where to sync users in Iterable. During setup, you can create a new list or select an existing one.
Creating a new list
If you choose to create a new list, Iterable creates it on the first sync run and then keeps it updated on subsequent runs.
You can provide a name for the new list, or Smart Ingest defaults to the name of the model used to create the sync.
Using an existing list
If you choose to use an existing list, Smart Ingest provides a drop-down list so you can select the static list you wish to sync users to.
