Populate a Constant Contact mailing list with Zapier and Polled Data Files
Overview
Data can be exported from LearningBuilder into Constant Contact using the Polled Data Files feature and a Zapier integration.
Prerequisites:
A Polled Data File configuration in LearningBuilder (see Zapier integrations using Polled Data Files)
A developer account with Zapier (https://developer.zapier.com/ )
A Constant Contact account
1. Configure the Polled Data File and Zapier integration
Complete the configuration steps in Zapier integrations using Polled Data Files to:
Define the data file that will be exported
Configure the Zapier integration that periodically requests that file from LearningBuilder and responds to new data
2. Configure a Constant Contact “Zap” in Zapier
1 | Create the ZapIn the Zapier interface, create a new Zap Sample Zap summary |
2 | Configure the TriggerThe specific Trigger configuration will depend on how you configured the Zapier integration and Polled Data File. In this sample, the Zapier integration fires whenever a new user login is reported by LearningBuilder. |
3 | Configure the ActionThe Action is where you configure Zapier to do something with your Constant Contact account. In this sample, the Zap is configured to create a new Contact and add them to a list. Sample Constant Contact Action configuration |
3. Test it
Once configured, Zapier will periodically request the data file from LearningBuilder. When it sees a record it hasn’t seen before, it will trigger the Zap and pass the mapped data to the Constant Contact integration.
You should see those contacts appear in Constant Contact.
