Hello RobertM42,   Thank you for reaching out to Constant Contact API Developer Support. My team is here to assist outside software developers with questions about building into Constant Contact's API.   Constant Contact does not currently support the client credentials OAuth2 flow, however, we appreciate your feedback with this use case. Your feedback and experience with this request is essential to improving our product, so thank you for reaching out to us regarding this matter.   Each of our current OAuth2 authorization flows requires the use of a browser window to grant access to an application on a Constant Contact account, however, you should only need to do this once as after this step is completed your application can maintain account access to make future required changes by utilizing refresh tokens to obtain a new token set once the access token expires. Below I’m including our device flow documentation step on refreshing the access token. You can disregard the “Authentication” section in this step which states that a Client Secret is required. The device authorization flow does not use the Client Secret and this section has been reported to our engineering team for a correction.   Step 8: Refresh the Access Token: https://developer.constantcontact.com/api_guide/device_flow.html#step-8-refresh-the-access-token   Please have a look and let us know if you have any other questions!   Regards, ...

If a contact's custom field salesperson doesn't match with the block's dynamic criteria, then the block won't be included in their sendout. ... View more
