I have made several posts before, this is my fourth year in a row asking CC to please bring us a wordpress blog post plugin!!! It was here, about five years ago, then CC deleted this plugin and has refused to bring it back for 4 years. Mailchimp is FREE and has this plugin, create a new blog post on wordpress and it automatically sends an email to your contact list with the blog post link. For all the millions of dollars this platform collects in monthly fees why have users been asking for 4 years for this plugin??? Going into the CC platform and creating a new email and then pasting in the link to a new blog post is not a workaround...that is me manually doing what a plugin could do for me automatically...if anyone from CC support chimes in on this post and gives this as a suggestion you should be fired. It is 2020...wordpress is the number one blog and website platform...please make a new blog post plugin this year!!! PLEASE! ... View more

Frankie, thank you for your response, we all appreciate any response on this.    A "work around" is not the answer to the problem. This feature existed when I signed up for CC almost 8 year ago, and then it was taken away and deleted, we are asking for it to be brought back. There are over 14,000 plugins for wordpress, one would think that with the over 5 MILLION customers that have CC paying $50-$200 a month, that they could bring back a feature that already existed. No? That is too much to ask for? It is quite ridiculous that...a FREE email service...has this feature but the company collecting MILLIONS in revenue can't get a team of people to bring back a feature that automates wordpress blog posts going to our email list.    Your "workaround" involves me writing a blog post in wordpress, then opening CC, creating an email, inserting a block, then picking my email list then scheduling my email. There is absolutely nothing about that process that is automated. That workaround is a multi step process that involves me doing more work. Wordpress is the most used website tool on the planet, there was a one click CC plugin button, it existed, we loved it, and for some reason that nobody at CC can explain to me, that feature was deleted.    PLEASE BRING BACK THE WORDPRESS PLUGIN!!!  ...

Constant Contact...had this feature years ago...updated their UI and dropped this feature...upsetting many people. I have been posting about this in the community and emailing CC begging them to make this happen...THEY WILL NOT LISTEN TO THEIR CUSTOMERS.    Dear Constant Contact, it is 2019, people have been asking for this feature to be returned for over two years since you got rid of it, is it really that hard for your team to make this happen???  is FREE and has this feature!!! We pay you, a much higher price than your competitors, yet you continue to ignore your customers and their requests. You have not innovated or come out with any new features in over two years other than adding some templates and some call to action buttons. Please divert some money from your ridiculous advertising budget and hire some people to integrate wordpress and your platform. Seriously.   This post goes back to 2017!!!   https://community.constantcontact.com/t5/Email-Campaign-Experience/Please-bring-back-the-Blog-to-Email-feature/idc-p/329408#M8681 ... View more

Seriously, mailchimp and feedburner have plugins to automatically send emails out when you post a new blog article, why can constant contact not make this plugin???! Oh...and mailchimp and feedburner are FREE!!! We pay money to constant contact, why can't you develop this wordpress plugin that soooooooo many people are asking for?! I have seen questions about this dating back to 2011!!! Really?! In 8 years you can't figure out how to do this?!We don't want to create a new campaign every week when we post new blog articles! It's 2018...hello...automation! PLEASE! ... View more
