How to Send WooCommerce Orders to Constant Contact
Constant Contact is a email marketing platform for managing subscribers and campaigns. WooCommerce captures orders beautifully, but sending that data to external platforms needs an integration. AFI bridges that gap to Constant Contact. Here is the full setup.
Why not just use Zapier?
For connecting WooCommerce 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 WooCommerce 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 WooCommerce to Constant Contact.
2. Pick your trigger
Select WooCommerce as the form provider. AFI fires when an order status changes, giving you access to customer details, billing and shipping addresses, line items, totals, and payment method.
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 WooCommerce order field on the right. Common mappings include customer name, email, phone, billing address, order total, and product details. You can also use smart tags like {{_submission_date}}.
5. Add conditions if needed
Only want to send certain orders? Set up a conditional rule. For example, only sync orders above a specific total, or only completed orders.
6. Save and test
Click Save Integration. Place a test order in your WooCommerce store. 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 orders. Pro adds custom field mapping. No per-order fees on any plan.
Frequently asked questions
Which WooCommerce events trigger the integration?
AFI fires when an order status changes (for example, pending to processing, or processing to completed). This covers new orders, successful payments, refunds, and cancellations.
Will adding this slow down my checkout?
No. AFI sends data to the destination after the order is processed. Your customers complete checkout normally without any delay.
Can I send orders to multiple platforms?
Yes. Create a separate integration for each destination, and every order flows to all of them simultaneously.
