That's it! Your ViralSweep account is connected to Omnisend.
Syncing Contacts and Their Data
When the integration with Omnisend is complete from the ViralSweep side, your entrants will be added to Omnisend almost immediately. However, apart from the email address, you may also collect the following data:
First Name firstName string
Last Name lastName string
Email Address email identifier
Address 1 address array of strings
Address 2 address array of strings
City city string
State state string
Postal Code postalCode number
Country country string
Phone phone identifier
Birthday birthdate date
Referral Link refer_link custom property
Promotion ID promo_id custom property
A tag you've added tag array with 1 tag
Keep in mind that to pass a phone number with a 'subscribed' subscription status, the SMS consent box must be checked. If your ViralSweep form doesn't have an SMS consent box at all or it's not checked by the customer, the phone will be passed with 'non-subscribed' status.

Later, the information passed by ViralSweep can be used to target your communication and personalize the content of the messages.
