Hi Mark,
Yes, unfortunately the Sync Field is not showing as an option when I set up the automation.  I also am avoiding new automations since they will be going away in 2022.

    I have not tested but I don't see why a Sync would not be available as a choice as a source but in any event you can set up a pipeline to do this.

    There's a bit of a learning curve the first time you set up a pipeline but it should work.
