Can we changed ACTION_BY_CUSTOMER to ACTION_BY_CONTACT in api. We need to send Welcome Email when contact added using API.

Hello,

Thank you for reaching out to the API Support team here at Constant Contact.

When working with our current V2 API, the two options you have for action_by when submitting a contact are:

• ACTION_BY_OWNER - Use this if the contact is being added by the Constant Contact account owner or user
• ACTION_BY_VISITOR - Use this when a contact adds themselves. If you use this method and a contact is not the one taking action, you could run afoul of US and Canadian anti-spam legislation.

As long as your integration is for a contact signing themselves up, you can use ACTION_BY_VISITOR. If you are not, you may consider instead creating an Autoresponder email campaign that is sent to all contacts who are new to a list, regardless of how they are added.

Please let me know if you have any other questions!

Sincerely,
David B.
