ChamberMaster/MemberZone allows you to connect to your Constant Contact account to automate updates to your Constant Contact lists based on updates made in the database. Once configured, representatives that have been added to the database or specific groups will automatically be added to Constant Contact. Any reps that are disabled within a group will be removed from their respective lists. Constant Contact has a special pricing program for Chambers of Commerce see the details here.

Under the Association General Options and Settings. You can enable an automatic nightly synchronization that will occur between 1 AM and 6 AM CST. You can choose to synchronize any or all of the following:
- Automatically sync all active reps for active and courtesy members. If this option is enabled, each time the nightly synchronization is run, Constant Contact will remove all the contacts in its All Active and Courtesy Representatives from ChamberMaster/MemberZone list, and recreate the list with the information received from ChamberMaster/MemberZone in the nightly sync.
- Automatically sync membership types daily. If this option is enabled, Constant Contact will delete all contacts in its membership type lists, and replace contacts received from the ChamberMaster/MemberZone nightly sync.
- Automatically sync groups daily. If this option is selected, all groups will be synchronized nightly to Constant Contact. You may select specific groups to be synchronized via the Group > Sync tab. When synchronization occurs, Constant Contact will (1) Remove any reps that have been disabled in the group, and (2) Add any reps that have been added to the group as active group members. Groups are matched by group name. If the group does not exist in Constant Contact, it is automatically created.
See Enable Constant Contact Synchronization for further instructions on configuring your nightly synchronization.
Constant Contact FAQ
Why are there fewer contacts in my Constant Contact list than what is showing in my database?
When the data is pushed over to Constant Contact any invalid emails are automatically excluded. Any emails that are unsubscribed within Constant Contact will also be excluded from the final list in Constant Contact.
When does the synch happen each day?
The synch happens between 11:00 pm and 4:00 am Central Standard Time daily.
What happens when I change a representative's email in ChamberMaster/GrowthZone?
The representative will be added to anything their previous email was attached to but their previous email will not be removed. If you want their previous email removed you would need to do that directly within Constant Contact.
