How to Send Charitable Data to Constant Contact

Constant Contact is a email marketing platform for managing subscribers and campaigns. Charitable manages a donation is made through a fundraising campaign, but sending that data to external platforms needs an integration. AFI bridges that gap to Constant Contact.

Why not just use Zapier?

For connecting Charitable to email marketing, a cloud automation service adds cost and a dependency on an external server. AFI runs on your site with no task limits.

What you will need

• A WordPress site with Charitable installed and configured.
• A Constant Contact account.
• The Advanced Form Integration plugin (free from WordPress.org).

Connect Constant Contact to AFI

Constant Contact uses OAuth 2.0 for authentication. In AFI → Settings → Constant Contact, click Authorize and grant access. This is a one-time step.

Setting up the integration

1. Create a new integration

Go to AFI → Add New. Name it Charitable to Constant Contact.

2. Pick your trigger

Select Charitable as the form provider. AFI fires when a donation is made through a fundraising campaign, giving you access to donor name, email, donation amount, campaign ID, and gateway.

3. Select Constant Contact as the destination

Choose Constant Contact from the platform dropdown and pick Add Contact. This adds a contact to Constant Contact.

4. Map fields

Match each Constant Contact field on the left to the corresponding Charitable field on the right. Common mappings include donor name, email, donation amount, campaign ID, and gateway. You can also use smart tags like {{_submission_date}}.

5. Add conditions if needed

Only want to send certain records? Set up a conditional rule based on any field value.

6. Save and test

Click Save Integration. Trigger a test event in Charitable. Check Constant Contact to confirm the data arrived. If anything looks wrong, open AFI → Log to see the exact request and response.

Free vs Pro

The free version maps email, first name, and last name to Constant Contact with unlimited records. Pro adds custom field mapping. No per-record fees on any plan.
