That's the part that I'm missing. How can I send a campaign to a list? ... View more

I'm still just not seeing how I could add the contacts added in the first step to the campaign before sending it? ... View more

So again - just looking for a verbal admission/confirmation here that your API has no way (out of the box / without some crazy workaround) to add contacts to a campaign, send it, and track results.   Can you confirm this? ... View more

Hey @Jimmy_D,   Understood. Is there a way to send an email to someone without using an autoresponder so we can track results from it? Can we add an email to a campaign directly?   - Greg ... View more

Sounds super straight forward! ..... ... View more

Just want to make sure I'm not missing something here. So AutoResponders is your name for automatically adding customers from a list to a campaign, correct? And there is no API support for those.   Which is fine - we don't necessarily need that extra step of adding to a list first, then having that add them to the campaign through an autoresponder - as long as we can add a user to the campaign directly. I can't seem to find this either though. Otherwise, how would you expect people to complete the basic loop of 1) Send email -> 2) Track results through the API?   Again, apologies if I'm missing something or not understanding this properly. I just wanted to make 100% sure that this isn't currently possible because it seems like that would be the most basic/core functionality that an API for an email marketing platform would have. ...

OK. Got it.   So with the API, is there any possible way (we don't really mind how) to take an email address, send an email to that address, and then monitor results? Maybe I'm missing something. ... View more

Hey, thanks for the reply - but I'm still not quite getting the answer I'm looking for. Just trying to clarify here:   "You do need to add a contact to a list first. Then you can schedule a campaign to send to that list."   - So we add a contact to a list via the API. Then - are you saying we can schedule a campaign to send to that list through the API, and then get clicks/opens that way? ... View more

I cannot begin to tell you how utterly disheartening it is to learn this. My business partner and I spent the last two weeks working on something that added contacts to a list and then pulls their stats via the API. Are you saying it is impossible for us to do that?   I almost can't believe it though - Isn't this literally the two core things you'd want to do using an email marketing platform's API? Its just seems like a major lack of basic functionality...?   There is no way to add a contact to a campaign directly, correct? We have to add them to a list? But then once we add them to a list, there is no way to get any data back about their engagement? It just seems completely broken.   I'm hoping that we're missing something here (apologies if so).   What is the current status of being able to do this with the V3 API? We're using Ruby, so we'll have to spend another good chunk of time developing our own Ruby code to use it (the ruby gem uses V2) - but regardless - is this generally possible yet with V3? ...

Got it! Thanks! I was able to get our app set up using a generic redirect URL in the constant contact API settings, and then passed in a subdomain parameter to properly redirect the user when they authorize. ... View more

Hey there!   I found this thread searching for the same thing. In our case, our app is multi-tenant, so each account is scoped using a subdomain (like basecamp and slack).   I was happy to read your response and see that I could use url parameters to differentiate which account was making the call, but then I saw a message explicitly stating that this is not possible:     Would you mind double checking as to the current status as far as the ability to use url parameters? I'm hoping this message isn't true / outdated? ... View more
