# Pardot Sync Logic

#### Prospect Sync Logic <a href="#contact-sync-logic" id="contact-sync-logic"></a>

When syncing Popl leads to your Pardot account, the integration will first perform a read operation to see if the prospect already exists. This search (query) uses the prospect's **"email"** as a primary key to match any existing prospect already in your Pardot account. Based on the search, two flows can be taken:

**Create New Prospect if No Prospect Found:**

If no prospect is found from this initial email search, then the integration will proceed to create a new prospect. Prospect ownership and any custom mappings will be applied based on the configuration settings described above.

**Update Existing  Prospect If an Existing Prospect is Found:**

If a prospect is found with the Popl lead's specific email, then the integration will proceed to update that prospect accordingly instead of creating a new, duplicate prospect. Prospect ownership and any custom mappings will be applied based on the configuration settings described above.
