I am using FormMaster_2008_2.0.3_DNN-4.x-5.x_ENT_PA on a 5.0 dnn site and I want the information after someones submits their information to go into my clients Constant Contact e-mail marketing program. I have read it can be acomplish by using the silent post feature. Is there document on how to do this step by step.

Try the information in the post below.

There could be in issue with Constant Contact where the Sender IP address needs to vary, in other words if the HTTP post comes from the same IP address everytime (your server) the request may be blocked.

More possible information

Well, the webcast is long gone, and Constant Contact has the worst support area I've ever seen. Now I know what hell looks like.

Could someone PLEASE let me know what the proper syntax is for the silent post URL, and what hidden fields are required to simply ADD a CONTACT?

I am sure like any other CRM system like SalesForce or Infusionsoft they allow you to create HTML forms that can be placed in your HTML pages. No?

You should have all the information you need in the Code they supply for Field Names, Hidden Fields, and URL (ACTION="SOME URL")

Yes to the first question, but no to the second.

action="http://visitor.constantcontact.com/d.jsp"
hidden: name="m" value="cc_account#_here"
hidden: name="p" value="oi"
text field: name="ea" value="joe@acme.org"

Pretty simple stuff, but nothing gets added to the CC contact lust.

Make sure you also make a hidden field with the name and value of their supplied Submit button

hidden: name="go" value="Go"

Doesn't make a difference, the contact still isn't added.

Today I just hooked up a form with Infusionsoft and it worked with no problem.
Unfortunately you will need the assistance of their support staff.

I'm just wondering if anyone has had any luck with this. I've tried several approaches to try to submit to Constant Contact, the latest being to download the trial version of Form Master, but no luck whatsoever. Has anyone gotten this to work???

I am just running into this same issue. I have a form on our web site and I need to submit the e-mail address collected to Constant Contact. I am following the example in this post by copying the following code (using our real account number) into the silent post field on the form:


action="http://visitor.constantcontact.com/d.jsp" hidden: name="m" value="cc_account#" hidden: name="p" value="oi" text field: name="ea" value="joe@acme.org" hidden: name="go" value="Go" Nothing happens on the other end. Any idea what I need to do to make Form Master post to Constant Contact? Thanks, Even

Even,

Did you have a look at this post to see how things are put together to post to a 3rd party?

Yes, that was the example I followed. This helped me a lot, but it appears the the actual code to put in the SilentPost field didn't import from the example file. I am still confused as to the code I need to put into the SilentPost field. Do you have an actual example for Constant Contact? My form is all set up with the e-mail address and the hidden fields required by ConstantContact. I have tried to put a few different things into the Silent Post field, but nothing seems to work. Any help you can provide would be greatly appreciated.

Even,

Maybe you can set me up with an account so I can look around. Just use the Private Message Icon on the left to send the information.

Did anyone ever find out how to do this "silent post" to Constant Contact?

I have a form that successfully posts to a Constant Contact list.  This form has been working for a few years so it might be outdated but it works for me.  First, I had to request API access from CC support and they sent me a form to sign and a API document.  You could add more fields and dress the form up with validation but this is the minimum amount of info needed to get it working. 

===================================================
Part I Form > Edit Form

Field 1 = Textbox
Label = Email Address
Field Name = email
Send Value By = Silent Post, Value = ea
 --------------------------------------------------
Field 2 = Hidden
Label = Login
Field Name = Login
Auto Fill Option
 Default Text = replace withyourlistloginhere
 Encrypt Field = checked
Send Value By = Silent Post, Value = loginName
 --------------------------------------------------
Field 3 = Hidden
Label = Password
Field Name = Password
Auto Fill Option
 Default Text = replacewithyourlistpasswordhere
 Encrypt Field = checked
Send Value By = Silent Post, Value = loginPassword
 --------------------------------------------------
Field 4 = Hidden
Label = Listname
Field Name = Listname
Auto Fill Option
 Default Text = replacewithyourlistnamehere
 Encrypt Field = checked
Send Value By = Silent Post, Value = ic
 --------------------------------------------------
Field 5 = Textbox
Label = First Name
Field Name = Fname
Send Value By = Silent Post, Value = First_Name
--------------------------------------------------
Field 6 = Textbox
Label = Last Name
Field Name = Lname
Send Value By = Silent Post, Value = Last_Name
===================================================
Part II Settings > Other Settings > Basic Settings

Silent Post Url = http://api.constantcontact.com/0.1/API_AddSiteVisitor.jsp
