Hello,   While I can't guarantee this timeframe, I can tell you that we are working on our V3 version of our API which should have these features, and we hope to have general availability for contacts calls by the end of June.   Please let me know if you have any other questions!   Sincerely, David B.

Hi,   I don't have an example that doesn't use a file right now, but this code will import a file using one of the bulk import functions in the PHP SDK.   define("APIKEY", "xxx"); define("ACCESS_TOKEN", "xxx"); $cc = new ConstantContact(APIKEY); try { $listID = "xxx"; //insert your list ID $directory = __DIR__ . '/new list'; $fileName = 'test.csv'; //change to your fileName $contents = file_get_contents($directory . '/' . $fileName); $fillList = $cc->addCreateContactsActivityFromFile(ACCESS_TOKEN, $fileName, $contents, $listID); } catch (CtctException $ex) { //catch & print exceptions print json_encode(array('status'=>'failure', 'message'=>$ex->getMessage())); }   You might consider catching the errors from your script to see what the problem is, if you don't want to use a file. I hope that helps!   Best Regards, Shannon Wallace Partner API Support Engineer ... View more

I needed to create a user and assign multiple lists   I took the Shannon_W's idea and I made this.   class className(){     public $ AccessToken = 'here  your Access Token ';   public $ ApiKey = 'here your api key';     function addContact( $ObjMember ){      $cc = new ConstantContact($this->ApiKey);      $Lists = array(' 1', '2 ', '3 ', '4 ' ); //can be more or less lists      .......      $Contact = new Contact();      $Contact->first_name = $ObjMember->name_f;      $Contact->last_name = $ObjMember->name_l;      .......      foreach ($ Lists  as $row):           $Contact->addList($row);      endforeach;      ......      $data = $cc->addContact($this->AccessToken, $Contact, false);        return $data;   }   } ...

It does sound like you are doing a single contact add as the error you receive is only through the single contact add.  Basically, that error means that a contact is trying to be modified or created in a state that requires ACTION_BY_VISITOR (indicating the Contact asked to be subscribed).  There are a few reasons that could occur, most commonly that the contact already exists, is opted out and you are attempting to opt them back in.   We would need to see the raw information about the Contact you're trying to create/update, the payloads and do some investigation to get you a more detailed answer than this.  If you could email our API support team (webservices@constantcontact.com) with the details that would help.    Also wanted to point out, we do not permanently delete Contacts.  If you use the "Delete" option in our web UI, the Contacts are marked as "deleted" but stay in the database forever.  Thus, the API integration is likely trying to update one of those deleted Contacts and there is a disconnect in the states. ...

Hi Frank ,   Our PHP SDK does not currently have a method for importing contacts using the multipart form Add Contacts endpoint. You can check out this post in the forum that describes using this endpoint, with some examples, but not in PHP.   The documentation for this endpoint is available here, too.   Regards,   Rich ...

Hey Matthew, Can you shoot me an email with this portion of the script attached in a zip file?  Will gladly take a look and see if there's anything that stands out. My email is mstowe [at] constantcontact.com   Thanks, Mike ... View more

Hi Matthew,   That is normal behavior.  Accounts do cache information in such a way that it can take several minutes for a contact update or addition to show up in the account when viewed through our user interface.     Best Regards, Shannon W. API Support Specialist ... View more

Thanks Shannon, that did it.  I have a very basic script working, so this thread appears to be resolved.   That said, I'm still having some issues and would very much appreciate it if you could help me figure this one out:   http://community.constantcontact.com/t5/Developer-Support-ask-questions/Add-contact-to-multiple-lists/td-p/79915   Thanks again!   Matthew ...
