Using the batch sync supporters option on email integrations only syncs supporters that are opted-in to receive email updates

Improvement
       Dan Ramdial

The 'Sync All Supporters' option available on email integrations has been updated to only sync supporters who have opted-in to receive email updates.

If this is the first time you’ve connected to an email integration, you can use this option to sync your existing subscribed supporters from Givecloud your contact list.

When connecting your Givecloud account to an email service where there is an existing list of subscribed contacts, this prevents existing contacts from being unsubscribed if your Givecloud account does not contain their most up to date opt-in status.

Between September 13th and September 19th, there was an issue where supporter names were not syncing to Mailchimp. Only emails were being synced. This issue was resolved on September 19th.

You can use the 'Sync Existing Supporters' option on your Mailchimp integration page, to resync any supporters that may have synced during the affected period to Mailchimp to ensure that their names are also included.
