Join It has integrated with Emma to help keep your mailing lists in sync with your membership database.

Sync all members to a selected list
Sync members from a specific membership type to a selected list
Setup multiple automations, so members from specific membership types can go to separate lists.
Shows a widget on Membership Records of the member's data that's fetched from your connected Emma account

Frequently Asked Questions
One of my Memberships that's Active in Join It isn't a part of the designated Group in Emma - what could have happened?
Based on Emma's help center description of their Audience Groups, one of the "facts about audience groups to remember" includes the reminder that "contacts can self-select their interest groups".
So when visiting a Membership record, if you see that the respective Membership has been synced to Emma -- but they aren't part of the designated Group -- then it could be that they've opted out of that specific group through Emma's manage preferences form.
