To do this, click "Start Configuring Data Destination".

The next step is to select the Mailgun account to which will be sent the data.

If there are no accounts connected to the ApiX-Drive system, click "Connect account".

In the window that opens, you need to fill in the "API key" field, which is located in your Mailgun account.

Click on the user at the top right and go to the "API keys" tab.

After that, copy and paste the Private API key into the appropriate fields in the ApiX-Drive system.

When the connected account is displayed in the "active accounts" list, select it.

Attention! If your account is in the "inactive accounts" list, check your access to this account!

Now you need to specify the name of the List.

Next, you need to specify from the dropdown field where the Email will be taken from the Data Source for adding or delete.

Also, you can assign the transfer of additional fields to the contact, but this is not mandatory.

Now you can see how it will look like sending data to add a new Contact, according to the selected data.

Click "Send test data to Mailgun" and check the result in the Mailgun contact list.

If something does not suit you - click "Edit" and go back one step.

If everything suits you, click "Next" to continue the setup.

This completes the Data Destination system setup!

Now you can start choosing the update interval and enabling auto-update.

To do this, click "Enable update".

On the main screen, click on the gear icon to select the required update interval or setup scheduled launch. To start the connection by time, select scheduled start and specify the desired time for the connection update will be started, or add several options at once when you need the connection will be started.

Attention! In order for the scheduled run to work at the specified time, the interval between the current time and the specified time must be more than 5 minutes. For example, you select the time 12:10 and the current time is 12:08 - in this case, the automatic update of the connection will occur at 12:10 the next day. If you select the time 12:20 and the current time is 12:13 - auto-update of the connection will work today and then every day at 12:20.

To make the current connection transmit data only after another connection, check the box "Update connection only after start other connection" and specify the connection after which the current connection will be started.  

To enable auto-update, switch the slider to the position as shown in the picture.

To perform a one-time data transfer, click on the arrow icon.
