​I've connected Omnisend, but the LoyaltyLion fields don't appear.

The Omnisend integration does not send historical data. If customer information was added or changed before the integration was set up, it won’t be added to Omnisend automatically, unless a change in data would force an update to contact properties.
For historical data to appear in Omnisend, it’s best to export contact information and import it to Omnisend. After your loyalty program is launched and live on your page, new contact information should sync across to Omnisend.
