Enable Constant Contact Synchronization

To enable the Constant Contact Synchronization, see the online help section titled “Customizing ChamberMaster” in the Administrator Tasks section.

Synching ChamberMaster with Constant Contact

Once the selection is enabled and appropriate login credentials are supplied, "Automatically synchronize membership types daily", “Automatically synchronize groups daily” and “Automatically synch all active reps for active and courtesy members” will push all active ChamberMaster groups and upload each of your membership types, and active reps as a list in Constant Contact. New contact information for these individuals will be uploaded to the associated Constant Contact account on a nightly basis.  No need to maintain two separate mailing lists, simply update your ChamberMaster groups/types and a matching Constant Contact list will be updated with the same changes.

If you’d rather select only certain groups to be synched, then you’ll need to deselect all others on the Synch tab in the Groups module.

Synch tab in the Groups module

 

To select only certain groups

1.	Click Groups in the left-hand menu

2.	Click the Synch tab where currently synched Groups will display.

3.	Uncheck the box "Display groups set to synch only".  Depending on how many groups you need to deselect, you may want to check the box to deselect all.

4.	Then select the checkbox in front of the groups that should be synched.

5.	Click Save.

 

If you want, click Synch Now to perform a synch with Constant Contact right now. All marked groups will synchronize nightly but you can do this anytime when an immediate update is needed.

 

Constant Contact processes these synch requests in the order received, usually within a few minutes.  Check Constant Contact's Activity report to view statistics on your update.  Even when the activity report says complete, give Constant Contact a few minutes to update the displayed list with your changes. And remember, subscribers who have opted out of your Constant Contact list(s) will not be imported.

Going forward, make any additions to this list or changes to contact information in ChamberMaster. Each time a synch takes place, the Constant Contact list is zeroed out and refreshed with new information from ChamberMaster. For best results, manage all additions and updates in ChamberMaster only.
