triggered email

hi all,

Can I use Contact contact APIs in my website to trigger transactional emails on form submissions, as well as add user directly to a specific list?

Please respond ASAP.

Thanks,
Adit

RE: triggered email

Hi Adit,

The Constant Contact API allows you to add and manage contacts and their List management, the description of how to do that is here. Regarding sending out automatic emails, the only thing we can automatically trigger are our welcome email for new subscribers and Autoresponder emails based on the sign up date of the subscriber. There is currently no functionality in the API to schedule or send other emails.

Welcome Email

We have a registration page on our website that when the user registers for the site it also adds them to our constant contact mailing list. How do i set up the automatic welcome email for when they are added to the constanct contact mailing list?
Thanks,
Kristi

RE: Welcome Email

In order to have the system send out the welcome email you need to specify <OptInSource>ACTION_BY_CUSTOMER</OptInSource> in your XML request.
