Can anyone elaborate the the differences between these two system-managing fields?

Which field is the one can be used as the very first touchpoint/become lead point?

Thank you very much!

  • Original Source Type = The location a lead or website visitor was first discovered (Example: List Import, Web Page Visit)
  • Registration Source Type = The location an activity first became a lead (Example: List Import, Web Page Visit)

Original Source Type is best to categorize how you got the lead, Registration Source Type is how the lead entered your system.

Does anyone know how to properly pull the data for these fields into Salesforce?

To add to this question, is anyone having the same problem using "registration source type" or "original source type" as Triggers in Smart Campaign, or Filters in Smart List?  Thank you
