Constant Contact uses OAuth 2.0 for authentication. Truto handles the full OAuth flow, token storage, and automatic refresh so your team never manages credentials directly. ### Which Unified APIs does Truto support for Constant Contact? Truto maps Constant Contact to the Unified Marketing Automation API (covering Contacts, Lists, and Tags) and the Unified User Directory API (covering Users and Roles). Specific tools for Constant Contact are built on request. ### Can I sync custom fields between my product and Constant Contact? Yes. Constant Contact's API v3 supports custom fields on contacts. You can create and map custom fields — such as donation amounts, appointment dates, or ticket types — so your users can leverage them as merge tags in their email templates. ### How does Constant Contact handle rate limits? Constant Contact's API v3 enforces rate limits (typically 10,000 requests per day and 4 requests per second). Truto manages retries and backoff automatically, so your integration stays within limits without manual throttling logic. ### Does the integration support bulk contact operations? Yes. Constant Contact's API v3 supports bulk JSON imports for contacts, which is critical for initial onboarding syncs and large list updates. Truto can orchestrate these bulk operations through the Unified Marketing Automation API. ### How are opt-in and permission states handled to maintain deliverability? Constant Contact strictly tracks opt-in source and permission status on every contact. When creating or updating contacts through the integration, you must correctly set these fields to protect your end user's sender reputation and comply with CAN-SPAM and GDPR.
