For whatever reason the Constant Contact built in app doesn’t allow me to update an address of a contact. From reading some other places it looks like I might need to use a Webhook and do this utilizing Constant Contacts API.
I’m not sure where to start though, I’ve looked through the Reference on the Constant Contact API and I think I can put the code together I need but when I add a PUT Webhook there’s no place for that code. What am I missing?
Hi
Try using the Custom Request option then selection the Method as PUT for the Webhook action.
Thanks for the information, I think I’m almost there but I’m getting “The app returned "unauthorized".” so obviously I’m still missing something in it to do with authorization. I guess this isn’t something you can help with since it’s the Constant Contact API that’s returning this error?

I’ve used the Constant Contact API for a few clients, it’s authentication is not the simplest to configure and requires a few steps to store/retrieve/refresh the access token.
DM me if you’d like to arrange for paid work.
Thanks for the information. I think I have what I need on the CC end but I need to put a redirect_uri for Zapier in on the CC end after authorization to return back to Zapier.

Nope, it wasn’t worth the hassle and Constant Contact support wasn’t helpful. I just moved on to Mailchimp instead.
