Hold it, what, I just do not believe it, BUT, that worked. I used https versus http. It worked, it really, really worked. So, why doesn't the documentation provide this info? Thanks so much for helping me with this or I would have never figured it out.

Okay, I was able to download the RestClient and I entered the url address which contains the contactID of the email to OptIn, enter the login and password and I got the following message in the Body tab window: Error 400: The request contains errors in the common Atom sections, which lie outside <entry> or <Content>, such as <feed>, <id>, <author> or <updated>. This is weird.....

Unfortunately, I am unable to download the RestClient jar file. My virus protection software blocks me from running the file. I did change the field as you suggested to use the actual contact id of the email address that I am trying to perform the Opt-In functionality. It looks like this: postInfo = postInfo & "<id>data:,1904</id>" &vbCrLF The resource that I am performing the PUT with looks like this: https://api.constantcontact.com/ws/customers/username/contacts/1904 I know I am missing something simple. All of the other calls work great, I even use the GET method to get the contact_id of the email address I want to Opt-In.

Okay, so here's what I did using test_100@example.com. I used the POST method to add the email to list 2. That worked successfully. The OptInSource value is "ACTION_BY_CONTACT" I then used the DELETE method to unsubscribe the same email account which put the status of the email to "Do Not Email" which it was suppose to do. I then try to use the PUT method to perform the Contact Opt-In step which I used your code changing the UN value to the customer's username. I get the following error: Error 409: The request contains errors in the common Atom sections, which lie outside or , such as , , or

I am still having problems with this and I've added the EmailAddress tag and it still does not allow me to Opt-In and it gives me this error: Error 409: The request contains errors in the common Atom sections, which lie outside or , such as , , or .

I have an email with the status "Do Not Mail". I am using the following to build my post info: postInfo = "<entry xmlns=""http://www.w3.org/2005/Atom"">" &vbCrLF postInfo = postInfo & "<title type=""text""></title>" &vbCrLF postInfo = postInfo & "<updated>" & date &"</updated>" &vbCrLF postInfo = postInfo & "<author></author>" &vbCrLF postInfo = postInfo & "<id>data:,none</id>" &vbCrLF postInfo = postInfo & "<summary type=""text"">Contact</summary>" &vbCrLF postInfo = postInfo & "<content type=""application/vnd.ctct+xml"">" &vbCrLF postInfo = postInfo & "<Contact xmlns=""http://ws.constantcontact.com/ns/1.0/"">" &vbCrLF postInfo = postInfo & "<OptInSource>ACTION_BY_CONTACT</OptInSource>" &vbCrLF postInfo = postInfo & "<ContactLists>" &vbCrLF postInfo = postInfo & "<ContactList id=""http://api.constantcontact.com/ws/customers/UN/lists/1""></ContactList>" &vbCrLF postInfo = postInfo & "</ContactLists>" &vbCrLF postInfo = postInfo & "</Contact>" &vbCrLF postInfo = postInfo & "</content>" &vbCrLF postInfo = postInfo & "</entry>" &vbCrLF My connstring is using this format: http://api.constantcontact.com/ws/customers/UN/contacts/9999 its actually using https versus http and 9999 would be the actual contact_id and Method is PUT When I run it, I get the following error: Error 409: The request contains errors in the common Atom sections, which lie outside or , such as , , or . Am I missing something in building my post that is causing this error?

Nice, so I figured out how to do the Delete; however, it requires me to get the Contact ID of the contact I need to delete. Is there a call that I can make if all I know is the person's email address to get the Contact ID?

Is there a sample of an ASP call to opt-Out an email from a contact list?

I saw a previous post in which it was recommended to use https versus http. I made this simple change and now it works. Nice......

I've been requested by a customer to integrate their shopping cart solution (uses ASP scripting languate) to use Constant Contact. I've established an API Key under their CC account and using "WinHttp.WinHttpRequest.5.1" to establish the connection to Constant Contact to add a user to their contact list. When I make the call, I am getting the famous "The operation timed out" error. I am following the requirement of establishing their login as APIKey + "%" + Username I am using following script call to the site. "UN" is replaced with the client's username. pEmail has an actual email address. postInfo = "<entry xmlns=""http://www.w3.org/2005/Atom"">" &vbCrLF postInfo = postInfo & "<title type=""text""></title>" &vbCrLF postInfo = postInfo & "<updated>" & date &"</updated>" &vbCrLF postInfo = postInfo & "<author></author>" &vbCrLF postInfo = postInfo & "<id>data:,none</id>" &vbCrLF postInfo = postInfo & "<summary type=""text"">Contact</summary>" &vbCrLF postInfo = postInfo & "<content type=""application/vnd.ctct+xml"">" &vbCrLF postInfo = postInfo & "<Contact xmlns=""http://ws.constantcontact.com/ns/1.0/"">" &vbCrLF postInfo = postInfo & "<EmailAddress>" & pEmail & "</EmailAddress>" &vbCrLF postInfo = postInfo & "<OptInSource>ACTION_BY_CUSTOMER</OptInSource>" &vbCrLF postInfo = postInfo & "<ContactLists>" &vbCrLF postInfo = postInfo & "<ContactList id=""http://api.constantcontact.com/ws/customers/UN/lists/2""></ContactList>" &vbCrLF postInfo = postInfo & "</ContactLists>" &vbCrLF postInfo = postInfo & "</Contact>" &vbCrLF postInfo = postInfo & "</content>" &vbCrLF postInfo = postInfo & "</entry>" &vbCrLF '--- Prep data for submit export request ----- lngTimeout = 59000 strUserAgentString = "http_requester/0.1" intSslErrorIgnoreFlags = 0 ' 13056: ignore all err, 0: accept no err blnEnableRedirects = True blnEnableHttpsToHttpRedirects = True constantContactConn = "http://api.constantcontact.com/ws/customers/UN/contacts" Set xml = Server.CreateObject("WinHttp.WinHttpRequest.5.1") xml.SetTimeouts lngTimeout, lngTimeout, lngTimeout, lngTimeout xml.Open "POST", constantContactConn xml.setRequestHeader "Content-Type", "application/atom+xml" xml.Option(0) = strUserAgentString xml.Option(4) = intSslErrorIgnoreFlags xml.Option(6) = blnEnableRedirects xml.Option(12) = blnEnableHttpsToHttpRedirects xml.SetCredentials strLogin, strPassword, 0 ' On Error Resume Next xml.Send(postInfo)
