Enabling Constant Contact Sync
When creating a new event in Engage, the Constant Contact Sync Enabled box is checked by default. Check this section in the How to Create an Event - Email Marketing: Constant Contact.
Finding the Event List Folder
1) In Engage, when Constant Contact Sync is enabled in an event, it creates an Event Contact List. You can find the Event Contact List Name in the event record page by scrolling down to the Constant Contact List section. Copy this list name or the 5-character ID to be used in step 3 below.
2) Then, login to your chapter's Constant Contact account.
3) Select Contacts, then select Lists, and then enter the name of the event.
Pro-tip 1: Search the Lists using the 5-character ID.
Pro-tip 2: Downloading the list in Constant Contact on the day of the event is a practical alternative if you want to keep a record of the registrants in a spreadsheet.
Where to Find No Shows
When the attendance is updated for an Event in Engage, the No Shows and Canceled registrants are kept as Engage Contacts but will be removed from the Constant Contact event Contact List. They will however remain as Contacts in Constant Contact. Follow this guide to search the contact record in Constant Contact.
