It's a known issue with Outlook. Any browser-based email client, like Gmail, handle Web fonts just fine. Even Outlook for iOS displays it correctly. It looks like Outlook desktop (mac or windows) needs to be explicitly told about all the weights used in any Web font. Using @font-face, Constant Contact includes the reference to Roboto Normal, so Outlook displays Roboto Normal correctly. But if a block of text uses Roboto Bold, Outlook displays it as Normal. I've read some discussion online that explicitly including @font-face inclusions for Roboto Italic, Bold, and Bold Italic should help Outlook display them correctly. Have any of Constant Contact's developers explored this? It would open up a lot more design options involving Web fonts.

I've set my headlines in my Constant Contact emails to use Roboto Bold. Any of my contacts using web-browser email clients see the correct Bold font. But Outlook displays it as a Regular weight. Poking through the HTML code, I see Constant Contact includes only Roboto Regular. @font-face { font-family: 'Roboto'; font-style: normal; font-weight: 400; src: local('Roboto'), local('Roboto-Regular'), url(https://fonts.gstatic.com/s/roboto/v18/KFOmCnqEu92Fr1Mu4mxKKTU1Kg.woff2) format('woff2'); unicode-range: U+0000-00FF, U+0131, U+0152-0153, U+02C6, U+02DA, U+02DC, U+2000-206F, U+2074, U+20AC, U+2212, U+2215;} Could it work to also include Italic, Bold, and Bold Italic explicitly? Something like this? @font-face { font-family: 'Roboto'; font-style: normal; font-weight: 400; src: url(https://fonts.gstatic.com/s/roboto/v27/KFOmCnqEu92Fr1Mu4mxKKTU1Kg.woff2) format('woff2'); } @font-face { font-family: 'Roboto'; font-style: italic; font-weight: 400; src: local('Roboto-Italic'), src: url(https://fonts.gstatic.com/s/roboto/v27/KFOkCnqEu92Fr1Mu51xIIzIXKMny.woff2) format('woff2'); } @font-face { font-family: 'Roboto'; font-style: normal; font-weight: 700; src: local('Roboto-Bold'), src: url(https://fonts.gstatic.com/s/roboto/v27/KFOlCnqEu92Fr1MmWUlfBBc4AMP6lQ.woff2) format('woff2'); } @font-face { font-family: 'Roboto'; font-style: italic; font-weight: 700; src: local('Roboto-BoldItalic'), src: url(https://fonts.gstatic.com/s/roboto/v27/KFOjCnqEu92Fr1Mu51TzBic6CsTYl4BO.woff2) format('woff2'); }

It would be a nice feature to have, so that we tell google that we're getting good contacts in our Conversions. Otherwise, we're paying them for good AND bad contacts.

We currently direct Google Ads traffic to a landing page on our website. We ask for an email address, and on submission, we redirect them to a thank you page with a link to a report they wanted. We don't do any verification of their address, so they could submit anything (eg john@NotARealDomain.com) and get our report. If we set up a landing page in Constant Contact, I see the documentation says we can add a Google Tag to the page, but that only tells us someone has visited the page, not that they've successfully submitted a contact address. It's not clear in the documentation, but can we add the Google tag to the Thank You page? We would then be able to count it as a Conversion in Google Adwords.

When we have a long text block, and want to bold and change the colour of some selected text, we have to scroll back to the top of the block to access the formatting toolbar. It would be more useful to have it float at the top of the window, following us as we move down through the block.

Update I was using the GetContacts API call (https://developer.constantcontact.com/api_reference/index.html#!/Contacts/getContacts) I noticed that it passes email address as a URL query string, so it has to be URL encoded first. Solution: $email = urlencode($email);

Hi, I am writing an app that connects to Constant Contact API. I noticed that whenever I tried to pass an email address with pluss addressing (some_user+test1@domain.tld), API does not parse it and returned null. Do I need to encode it first? Or does the API does not support it? Thanks, Rudy
