Hello,
Is there anyway to sync Constant Contact Data (lists, list members, custom fields etc) with Campaign Monitor?
So they would mirror from CC to CM, and say it got updated via a Cron Job?
Please help!
Thanks
Hi,
I apologize, but I'm not aware of any Constant Contact-Campaign Monitor integration. We haven't written any integrations to them, and I would be a little surprised if they had written an integration to us, so you'd be looking for third party integrations between the 2. The only way I know to accomplish what you're looking for would be 1. hire a developer to use the Constant Contact and Campaign Monitor API's to write a custom integration, or 2. manually export your Constant Contact and Campaign Monitor contacts to a CSV or XLS document. merge them, and then import the result into both accounts.

Hello,
Thanks for your response.
I am using a Constant Contact PHP API Wrapper: Constant Contact PHP Code Library - integrationservic.es
I am familular with the Campaign Monitor API also.
I am trying to export ALL contacts into a CSV using this wrapper but I get a vague error message.
"Operation failed: Invalid Request - There are many possible causes for this error, but most commonly there is a problem with the structure or content of XML your application provided. Carefully review your XML. One simple test approach is to perform a GET on a URI and use the GET response as an input to a PUT for the same resource. With minor modifications, the input can be used for a POST as well."
Ideally I want to export ALL contacts from each individual list and then import them elsewhere (CM)
Can you tell me of an easier way to export all contacts on a list basis? Or point me in the direction of another PHP wrapper that can fulfill my requirements.
You can view the wrapper working here with various examples: http://bit.ly/XBaHcH

Hi,
We don't support the integrationservic.es PHP, but if you use our PHP wrapper located here, you can use the following code to generate an export contacts activity.
<?php session_start (); require_once 'ConstantContact.php'; require_once 'config.php'; $ConstantContact = new ConstantContact("oauth2", $apiKey, $username, $accessToken); //Update your username and list ID in the string below $exportString = "activityType=EXPORT_CONTACTS&fileType=CSV&exportOptDate=true&exportOptSource=true&exportListName=true&sortBy=DATE_DESC&columns=FIRST%20NAME&columns=LAST%20NAME&listId=http%3A%2F%2Fapi.constantcontact.com%2Fws%2Fcustomers%2Fusername%2Flists%2F1"; $export = $ConstantContact->bulkAddContacts($exportString); ?>
This generates an activity in the account to export the contacts, which usually takes a few minutes. The response from our server when you create the activity will return a link to download the file that is created.
