I am getting 400 bad request error. I can see one contact which is my account using "GetContactCollection".

Any help is greatly appreciated. I am posting to "https://api.constantcontact.com/ws/customers/hudsonhorizons/contacts" and using "POST" method. I am using trial version.

Thanks in advance,

Veena

Hi Veena,

Try moving the </OptInSource> closing tag up a line and see if it helps. Here is what it would look like:

<OptInSource>ACTION_BY_CUSTOMER</OptInSource>

Let us know if that fixes the issue.

Regards,
