Good to know

beehiiv

A beehiiv connection belongs to the publication ID saved with its credentials. Update the connection credentials if you need to point it at a different publication. Select a newsletter list when using beehiiv as a sync or migration destination.

Salesforce

Salesforce requires a Last Name on new Contacts; if a contact has none, OpenContact uses the email so the record still saves. Imports read the standard Contact object.

Questions

Does OpenContact sync unsubscribes between beehiiv and Salesforce?

Yes. When beehiiv or Salesforce reports an unsubscribe, bounce or spam complaint, OpenContact records it and passes it to the destinations your rules select.

Do I need a CSV to move contacts between beehiiv and Salesforce?

No. Import contacts from one tool into OpenContact, then send them to the other with a sync rule. To move a whole list, use list migration.

Does connecting beehiiv and Salesforce cost extra?

Both tools bill you separately. OpenContact plans are priced by limits, and every plan includes all integrations. See pricing.
