Connecting Constant Contact with your Chamaileon account allows you to streamline your email marketing workflow, enabling seamless syncing of email designs and content.
Through this integration, email templates in Chamaileon will be directly linked to a Constant Contact campaign.
Each time the design or content is updated in Chamaileon and the Sync button is pressed, the campaign design will automatically update in Constant Contact.
This guide will walk you through the integration process step-by-step, covering everything you need to know to get started.
Prerequisites
Before you begin the process, make sure you have:
An active Chamaileon account with Administrator or Content Manager access.
Access to your Constant Contact account with the necessary permissions (e.g., Admin access).
Step-by-Step Integration Setup Process
Step 1: Access Integration Settings in Chamaileon
Log in to your Chamaileon account.
Navigate to the Workspace settings and select the "Integrations" tab.
Choose "Constant Contact" from the list of available integrations.
Step 2: Authorize Constant Contact with Chamaileon
In the Chamaileon integration setup for Constant Contact, create a new Variation. Each variation serves as a distinct account connection, allowing you to sync emails from one Chamaileon account to multiple Constant Contact accounts if needed.
Name the integration variation and click "Auth."
Follow the on-screen instructions to connect with your Constant Contact account. The authorization uses OAuth 2.0, ensuring secure access.
Testing the Integration
To test the integration, try syncing a sample email template from Chamaileon to Constant Contact.
Check your Constant Contact account to verify that the campaign has been successfully imported.
If the export is successful, you’re all set!
Handling API Limits and Security Considerations
API Limits: Constant Contact may impose API call limits. Refer to Constant Contact’s documentation to ensure you stay within these limits.
Security: The integration uses OAuth 2.0, making it secure. You don't need to handle API keys directly, but always ensure your account access is secure.
Troubleshooting and Known Limitations
Common Issues:
If the connection fails, ensure that you have authorized the correct Constant Contact account and have the necessary permissions.
Known Limitations:
This integration supports syncing only email templates and campaigns.
Supported file types and character limits depend on Constant Contact’s specifications.
Notifications: Chamaileon will notify you in case of integration issues, such as failed syncs.
Disconnecting or Removing the Integration
To safely disconnect or remove the Constant Contact integration, go to the “Integrations” section in Chamaileon Workspace settings.
Click on the Constant Contact card, select the desired variation, and click the red "Delete Variation" button.
Remember to remove access/authorization in Constant Contact if necessary.
Sync Email Designs with Constant Contact
From the email dashboard, click the "Sync" button in the email's menu.
Choose "Constant Contact" from the options list.
Customize your email campaign's settings, such as the subject line, preview text, from name, from email, and reply-to email before clicking "Sync."
Data Sync Details
The integration will sync the following data between Chamaileon and Constant Contact:
Subject: The email's subject line.
Preview Text: The preview text displayed in the recipient's inbox.
From Name: The name that appears in the "From" field of the recipient's email.
From Email: The email address that appears in the "From" field.

Attention!
Avoid editing the code directly in Constant Contact, as its editor might alter the email HTML code, potentially causing size or rendering issues. Use Chamaileon’s visual editor interface for any changes and the Sync button to update the design.
Syncing one template to multiple Constant Contact accounts is possible using Integration Variations, so avoid manually copying and pasting HTML.
