Constant Contact Connector
Intro
Constant Contact offers web-based email marketing services. Use Domo's Constant Contact connector to compile reports about mailing groups, members, and so on. To learn more about the Constant Contact API, visit their page (https://developer.constantcontact.co...ion-index.html).
You connect to your Constant Contact account in the Data Center. This topic discusses the fields and menus that are specific to the Constant Contact connector user interface. General information for adding DataSets, setting update schedules, and editing DataSet information is discussed in Adding a DataSet Using a Data Connector.
Prerequisites
To connect to your Constant Contact account and create a DataSet, you must have your Constant Contact username and password.
Connecting to Your Constant Contact Account
This section enumerates the options in the Credentials and Details panes in the Constant Contact Connector page. The components of the other panes in this page, Scheduling and Name & Describe Your DataSet, are universal across most connector types and are discussed in greater length in Adding a DataSet Using a Data Connector.
Credentials Pane
The Domo Constant Contact connector uses OAuth to connect, so there is no need to enter credentials within Domo. Click Connect (or select Add Account if you have existing Constant Contact accounts in Domo) to open the Constant Contact OAuth screen where you can enter your Constant Contact username and password. Once you have entered valid Constant Contact credentials, you can use the same account any time you go to create a new Constant Contact DataSet. You can manage connector accounts in the Accounts tab in the Data Center. For more information about this tab, see Managing User Accounts for Connectors.
Details Pane
This pane contains a menu from which you select your desired report type, along with various options for configuring your report.
