I need to export my Salesforce mailing list but it must include a custom field, "Account Status". So far I have successfully exported my entire Contact mailing list but without the "Account Status" field, so my mailing list is useless because I need to be able to categorize my list to customize my messages.
Any advice greatly appreciated because I am about to give up. Thanks!
Hello @user65581 ,
Do you have an "account status" custom field setup in your Constant Contact account? If not, that may be preventing the integration from automatically syncing the info.
Otherwise, your other option would be to manually export the contacts from your Salesforce, and then import that list file into your Constant Contact account.

Hi William, I think you are right because I have already exported the list but the custom filed was not included.
Hi again William, thank you for that article on how to create custom fields within Constant Contact so when I export my contacts from Salesforce, it should include the custom field, however I am still stalled because in the instructions, the article indicates I need to select "All Contacts", but I don't see that option, I have these options under the Contacts tab: "+ upload contacts", "+add a contact", and then below that there are "segments", lists" and "tags".
I previously did an export and uploaded contacts so I know I have them in there, but I should probably delete all so I can start over, after the "custom field" has been created, correct? If that is correct, how do I delete my contacts from my account?
Going in circles...
