Hi all, Mo from Product here!
Business owners live on their phones: at the shop, at events, between client calls. When you need help with your marketing, you shouldn't have to wait until you're back at a desk. Starting today, the full AI Assistant is available natively in the Constant Contact iOS app. The same powerful assistant you know from desktop, redesigned for your pocket.
This isn't a watered-down mobile version. It's the real thing.
Here's the short version of what's new:
💬 Chat with the AI Assistant right from your home screen
📅 Schedule emails directly from your phone — pick your target send date and time without touching a computer
✉️ Generate campaigns from a prompt — pick a template and jump straight into the editor
📚 Get instant answers about your account, contacts, and campaigns. No more digging through help articles
👥 Manage your contacts — search, view, and tag all conversationally
🧭 Navigate anywhere just by asking: "take me to my campaigns" and you're there
Here's the full breakdown 👇
A full AI chat experience, not a chatbot
This isn't a basic Q&A bot. It's a real-time conversational assistant with streaming responses, rich text formatting, and full thread history, so you can close the app, come back later, and pick up right where you left off. It lives right on your home screen, one tap away.
Start an email in seconds
Describe what you need in plain language, and the Assistant generates ready-to-edit template options for you. Pick your favorite, and it opens directly in the mobile editor to customize.
Try asking:
"Create an email promoting our weekend flash sale"
"Draft a holiday newsletter for my customers"
"Make an email announcing our new store hours"
Schedule and send right from your phone
You no longer have to wait until you are back at your computer to time your campaigns perfectly. Once your email is ready, set your schedule right from the mobile app:
Pick the exact date and optimal time for your audience
Queue up announcements days or weeks in advance
Hit schedule while standing in line, at a job site, or between meetings
From initial AI prompt to a scheduled send, your entire campaign launch can happen end-to-end on mobile.
Get answers without leaving the app
Need to know how something works? The Assistant pulls from our knowledge base and surfaces relevant help content directly in your conversation. No more bouncing to the Help Center and losing your place.
Try asking:
"How do I set up a welcome email for new contacts?"
"What's the difference between a list and a segment?"
"How do I add a button to my email?"
Your contacts, at your fingertips
This is a big one for anyone who meets customers face to face. You can now search, view, tag, and manage contacts right from the chat. Read and write. No screen-hopping required.
Try asking:
"Show me my contact Jane Smith"
"Tag all contacts from today's event as 'Fall Festival'"
"How many contacts did I add this week?"
You just met someone at an event? Add them, tag them, and move on, all before you leave the booth.
Go anywhere, instantly
Skip the menus. Just tell the Assistant where you want to go and it will take you there:
Try asking:
"Take me to my email campaigns"
"Open my contact list"
"Go to my account settings"
One ask, one tap, you're there.
How to find it
Open the Constant Contact app on iOS and look for the Assistant on your home screen. We're rolling it out now. If you don't see it yet, send me a nudge! Android is coming next. 🤖
