Step 1: In Campaign Editor > 4. Options > Integrations, click the Connect to Constant Contact button.
IMPORTANT: Because the GrowSurf data sync to Constant Contact only occurs after you have connected with the integration, it is imperative to connect with the integration BEFORE importing participants.

Step 2: Log in to Constant Contact and authorize GrowSurf
Step 3: Once connected, choose the Constant Contact list that you want to automatically sync to. GrowSurf will add/update your Constant Contact contacts every time a new participant is added or referred to your referral campaign.

If the new participant isn't being added to Constant Contact, or if they are being added but their unique referral link isn't being synced to Constant Contact:
Activity logs will denote if a participant was added to Constant Contact or if they failed to be added. (In the case of failure, GrowSurf will re-attempt to add them for 7 days).
