We have now named the field CustomField3 via the site - we are sending { {"column_names":["EMAIL","FIRST NAME","LAST NAME","CUSTOM FIELD 3"] ,"import_data":[{"custom_fields":[{"name":"CustomField3","value":"foo"}],"first_name":"testf","last_name":"testl","email_addresses":["jeffsank3@jeffsank.com"]}] ,"lists":["1924786102"] } } Again, the person is added but the custom field never shows up. I've done it with new contacts and existing. At this point we're stuck so any help would be much appreciated. Thanks!

/*REPOSTING AS NEW USER - SORRY FOR CONFUSION*/ We named our Custom Field 1 'Signup Date' in the admin gui on the constant contact site. When we subscribe users to our list, they are added successfully but the custom field is not updated. REQUEST: {{ "column_names": ["EMAIL" ,"FIRST NAME" ,"LAST NAME" ,"CUSTOM FIELD 1" ] ,"import_data": [{ "custom_fields":[ {"name":"Signup Date" ,"value":"foo" } ] ,"first_name":"testf" ,"last_name":"testl" ,"email_addresses":[ "jeffsank@jeffsank.com" ] }] ,"lists":[ "1924786102" ] }} RESPONSE: { "id":"25b909e0-dae0-11e3-a5b7-d4ae52986b44" ,"type":"ADD_CONTACTS" ,"error_count":0 ,"contact_count":1 } We poll for the activity id and eventually get the 'completed' status but the custom field never shows up when we view the contact via the constant contact site.. Is my data formatted correctly? Can I update that field when subscribing a person to a list? Or is that a separate operation? Thanks!

Thanks again - one last question - is there any way to see our monthly peak active contact count? I can guess it based on our activity, just curious if it's displayed anywhere.

Thanks for the quick response - just to clarify - the contact total allowed by my account will be assessed against all contacts added and I can never remove or reduce that number? Or is it assessed by only looking at active contacts?

Our target group changes daily so maintaining contacts is not necessary. Right now we clear our lists daily and then send a daily email but there's really no reason for us to have old, un-list-associated contacts sitting around... So - via the site I can delete individual contacts but it looks like via the API I can only change status to 'REMOVED' - can I delete them completely via the API? Also, is there a way to bulk delete? Thanks!

I am using PHP and the API V2 to upload contacts to a list and then create an email/campaign to send to that list. Everything is working except the custom fields. When I upload my test contact I want to have 2 custom fields - this seems to work and when I view the contact on the cc site I see the following: Custom Field 1: 14.95 Custom Field 2: 15/02/2014 when I preview the email, the xhtml code refers to the fields in the following block: ... <Property name="Subscriber.CustomText1" /> GBP will be deducted from your account on <Property name="Subscriber.CustomText2" /> ... I believe the contact field names and the email code snippet above match what is described in the 'Advanced Editor User's Guide' but am I missing something? On a side note - when I delete my test contacts they appear gone from the system - but if I re-add the contact via the API with no extra custom fields - the old custom fields associated with the deleted instance re-appear - it's as if instead of adding new, the old version is restored and updated. Thanks for the help!
