3 Prerequisites

Before you start: Confirm that you have an Copper account and admin access for both platforms.
  1. Copper Account

    You’ll need an active account.

  2. Admin Access

    Administrator rights are required in both Tarvent and Copper to set up integrations.

  3. Tarvent Account

    You’ll also need an active Tarvent account.

4 Step-by-Step Setup Guide

Step 1: Access Integration Settings

Copper Integration
  1. Go to Account Settings

    In Tarvent, navigate to Account > Integrations.

  2. Select Copper

    Click the integration card.

  3. Add an Account

    Click Add an account in the top-right corner.

Step 2: Connect to Copper

Copper Connect
  1. Select Audience

    Pick the Tarvent audience you want to sync with Copper.

    Note: Each audience can connect to only one Copper account.
  2. Authenticate with OAuth

    Click Connect to authorize via Copper.

  3. Authorize Access

    Review and approve the permissions in Copper.

Step 3: Configure Settings

Copper Settings
  1. Notification Email

    Enter an email for sync notifications. This is required.

  2. Contact tag Filter

    Choose which tag(s) the contact must have to be included in the sync.

  3. Contact lead status Filter

    Choose which lead status(es) the contact must have to be included in the sync.

    Note: This option will only show up if you have "Leads" enabled in your Copper account.
  4. Contact Type Filter

    Choose which contact type(s) the contact must have to be included in the sync.

  5. Additional Options (Optional)
    • Only sync contacts that are assigned to your Copper. If disabled, it will sync all contacts.
    • Sync one-way only: Only transfers contacts from Copper to Tarvent. This applies to the sync as well as live contact additions and updates.

Step 4: Map Fields

Copper Field Mapping
Tip: Hover the help icons in Tarvent for field mapping guidance.
  1. Review Default Mappings

    Similar fields are auto-mapped. Verify each field mapping before continuing.

  2. Map Custom Fields

    Match Copper fields to Tarvent data fields:

    • Text fields (Copper types: Text, Website, URL, Textblock): Text, URL, Image, Email, State, Zip code (Tarvent data types)
    • Multi-select, dropdown, and checkbox fields: Text (Tarvent data type)
    • Date fields: Date, DateTime, Birthday (Tarvent data types)
    • Phone fields: Phone, Text (Tarvent data type)
    • Number fields (Copper types: Number, Currency, Float, Percentage): Number (Tarvent data type)
    • Address fields: If mapped, the address will be split into the standard Tarvent address fields
    • Name fields: If mapped, the name will be split into the standard Tarvent name fields (First and Last)

    Special mapping cases

    • Multi-select fields: The value of this field will be mapped to a Tarvent text field as a CSV of the Copper values (ex. value1, value2, value3). If this value is updated in Tarvent, the value must match the Copper value for the sync to work.
    • Dropdown fields: The value of this field will be mapped to a Tarvent text field. If this value is updated in Tarvent, the value must match the Copper value for the sync to work.
    • Checkbox fields: The value of this field will be mapped to a Tarvent text field as "checked" or "unchecked". If this value is updated in Tarvent, the value must be "checked" or "unchecked" for the sync to work.
    Note: All required fields must be mapped.
  3. Skip Fields

    Any fields you don’t need can be marked as skip. All fields must be mapped or skipped.

Step 5: Finalize Setup

  1. Review Settings

    Confirm all configurations before finishing.

  2. Start Sync

    Click Finish setup & start sync. This will:

    • Register webhooks for real-time updates
    • Schedule the first sync

5 Post-Setup Maintenance

Monitoring Sync Status

Copper CRM Report

After setup, you can track the status of your integration directly in Tarvent:

  • View sync history and results
  • Check for sync errors or conflicts
  • Review sync performance and statistics

Managing the Integration

You can manage your integration anytime through these options:

  • Edit Settings: Adjust options, mappings, and notifications
  • Manual Sync: Run an on-demand sync between systems
  • Disable: Pause syncing without deleting the integration
  • Delete: Permanently remove the integration

6 Registering Webhooks

Once your integration is active, you normally won’t need to adjust webhooks. However, if they become deactivated in Copper or you receive a notice from Copper that your webhook has been deactivated, you can re-register them:

  1. Go to Account > Integrations and find the Copper integration
  2. Select the integration you want to update
  3. Under the Settings tab, locate the webhook controls
  4. Click the button to register or unregister your webhooks
Tip: If your webhooks are deactivated, unregister them first, wait for the action to complete, then register them again.

7 Manual Syncing

If live syncing isn’t enabled or you run into sync issues, you can trigger a manual sync between Tarvent and Copper:

  1. Go to Account > Integrations and select the Copper integration
  2. Open the integration you want to sync
  3. In the settings dialog, click the Sync button at the bottom-right
  4. Choose a sync type:
    • Full sync: Syncs all contacts from Copper to Tarvent
    • Incremental sync: Syncs only new or updated contacts since the last manual sync.
  5. Click Sync to start
Note: Manual sync times will vary, depending on volume. You don’t need to stay on the page while it runs.

8 Troubleshooting

Common Issues

If you run into problems, here are common issues and fixes:

  • Sync not starting: Ensure the integration is enabled and your sync settings are correct
  • Field mapping errors: Confirm field types are compatible and mapped correctly
  • Finish button disabled: Double-check all settings and mappings
  • Save button disabled: Look for red dots next to tabs, which indicate missing settings or mappings

9 FAQs

What is Data authority?
Data authority defines which platform’s data takes priority. If there’s a conflict, values from the authority platform will be used.
Which fields are required to map?
Any field marked as required in either system must be mapped. Required Copper fields must be mapped to required Tarvent fields.
Why is data authority disabled for a field?
If authority is locked, it means the field is required in Tarvent but not in Copper. In this case, Tarvent must be the authority.
Why didn’t all my contacts sync?
Contacts without an email address in Copper will not sync to Tarvent. Contacts without a name in Tarvent will not be added to Copper. For large lists, the sync may still be processing.
The value for my mutlislect and dropdown fields aren't syncing correctly, why?
If you set the value for a Copper multiselect or dropdown field in Tarvent, and the name doesn't match one of the values, then it won't sync properly.
Why are some fields not updating?
Updates depend on the data authority. If authority is set to Copper, changes in Tarvent won’t overwrite those fields in Copper, and vice versa. Additionally, during a full/incremental sync, the data in the platform without authority will be overwritten.
How often does it sync?
Individual contact updates sync in real-time. You can also run a manual sync at any time in your integration settings.
Can deleted contacts be synced?
If a contact is deleted from Copper, it will be deleted from Tarvent in near real-time. If you delete the contact in Tarvent, it will stay in Copper. We recommend using Copper as your primary CRM. Adding, updating, or deleting a contact should be done in Copper whenever possible to avoid conflicts.
