It sounds like you are trying to use the Constant Contact API to send out customized news items to your email list. If I understand correctly, you want to create a campaign template and then use that template to send out new updates by changing the news text and date for each email. You are correct that you can create a campaign template in Constant Contact and save it as a draft. You can then use the API to add or remove contacts from the list of recipients and send the email. However, if you want to change the content of the campaign for each email, you will need to create a new campaign each time. One way to achieve this is to use the Constant Contact API to create a new campaign for each news item. You can create a template for the campaign that includes your standard email design, and then add the news item and date as custom fields. You can then use the API to add the recipients to the campaign and send the email. Alternatively, you could use a third-party email marketing tool that allows you to create dynamic templates. With a dynamic template, you can define fields for the content that can be filled in with different values for each email. This would allow you to send out customized news items without having to create a new campaign for each email. I hope this helps! ... View more
