Where can I find campaign_activity_id

[SamuelF543]

Hello team,

I'm testing Send Email test through this url: 

https://v3.developer.constantcontact.com/api_reference/index.html#!/Email_Scheduling/testSendCampaig...

Asking campaign_activity_id there. But I didn't campaign_activity_id.

Help me to find campaign_activity_id.

Thanks,

Samuel

Hello Samuel,

My name is Caleb and I am a member of Constant Contact's API Developer Support Team.

In order to retrieve the campaign_activity_id for a given campaign you will first need to retrieve the campaign_id for the campaign. If you are unfamiliar with how to find this then you will want to first make GET request to the endpoint '/emails' which will retrieve the collection of email campaigns from your account. The response you receive from this request will provide you the campaign_id unique to each campaign which will be needed in order to make the next request.

GET a Collection of Email Campaigns:
https://developer.constantcontact.com/api_reference/index.html#!/Email_Campaigns/retrieveEmailCampai...

Once you have retrieved the campaign_id for the campaign you will then want to make a new GET request to the endpoint '/emails/{campaign_id}'. This request will return all of the campaign_activity_id's for the specified campaign (minimum of two activity ids). The default activity id's have a role of either 'primary email' or 'permalink' (it is possible that you may have more activity ids if the campaign has been resent to non openers). Out of these activity_ids you will only need the activity_id with a role of 'primary email'.

GET Details About a Single Email Campaign:
https://developer.constantcontact.com/api_reference/index.html#!/Email_Campaigns/retrieveEmailCampai...

After retrieving the correct campaign_activity_id with a role of 'primary email' you will then be prepared to make a request to the endpoint '/emails/activities/{campaign_activity_id}/tests' which will then allow you to send a test email to the associated email_address in the body of the request.

Error getting campaign activity by activityId 24b23383-07ca-47b3-affb-5ea1d383216c: undefined

I received a similar error message, Error getting campaign activity by activityId 6def94d1-9967-4bd4-81a0-84c7802c6f53: undefined, when I tried to copy the last email that I sent.  I need to modify it and send it out at 7am in the morning.  Looks like that's not going to happen.  I hope this error has generated notification to an on-call production team who is currently working on this system issue and will resolve it soon.  hint hint Constant contact....

I logged in this morning and the error seems to have been resolved.  The campaign that I had copied was in my campaign list and I was able to edit and send.
