Constant Contact? Opt In Web form / script?

3 replies
Anyone else using these guys as their A/R provider?

Looking into the code needed to complete the optin forms for the blogs and sites and it appears you need to sign up as adeveloper for their API's?

For real?

Anyone have a workaround / solution I can get implemented in my web forms - today?

Do I just need to go to aWeber and/or GetResponse and shine Constant Contact?

    Constant Contact is more of a newsletter manager. They're good for building your list, but I don't believe they can generate automated, scheduled emails like an autoresponder does.

    They do generate HTML that is ready to be dropped into your site. Unless you're wanting to do something more sophisticated than that, I don't believe you'd need any API calls.

    Unless I'm misunderstanding your question.

      Looks to me like the CC system lets you add a code snipet that just gets the email address then redirect to a "Constant Contact" sanitized form they like and love. From there the potential subscriber needs to complete yet ANOTHER subscribe form ...

      Then they get another double opt in email confirmation - then you can get them the goods.

      Im new but that doesnt seem like a system with conversions rates thru the roof. 5 steps just to subscribe to my newsletter and get the freebies?

      I want to build a list not develop "nuclear fission".

      So in order to get the control back and know what the required form parameters are to get their proprietary api's to add the leads to your list automatically - they wrote an api for developers and your site must have certain software installed and running. You ant get the info on what these are unless you agree to some jive an get approved.

      So - they are DONE. Good bye - unless someone has a workaround.

      Thanks for listening to the ramble
