Constant Contact for Salesforce Integration Native or Third party How About An official Partner

SyncApps by Cazoomi was just recognized as the official way to connect Constant Contact. Here’s why this matters to you.

How often do you Google your competitors or your industry in general? How many forums, boards, or social media groups do you keep an eye on?

A lot of them isn’t it?

Here’s a little secret: so do we! We take great pride in being a preferred integration solutions provider by many industries. But we know that this title is not for life and that we have to keep up the proverbial good work in order to hang on to it.

If you’re a Constant Contact and Salesforce user, you probably know that there are native integrations that you can use to connect both services. You’ve probably also used them. If so, then you received this email:

The link leads here to the Constant Contact to Salesforce integration on SyncApps by Cazoomi. It’s a great way to get recognition from one of our most valued partners, Constant Contact.

If you’re logged into Constant Contact see how to update your integration as seen below.

It’s also a great reminder of why you should never rely on “native” integrations. There are around 50,000+ subscribers to the CTCT free solution that are now left with no viable marketing option until September 10th. The error messages they get are just the beginning of their frustration journey.

What’s Wrong with Native Integrations?

You see, the option to integrate two popular services is very much in demand. We know this because it’s literally our bread and butter.

The creators of these popular services offer it for free. It’s a nice add-on that you get for paying a subscription.

Or, better said, it would be a nice add-on if it actually worked. There are literally no free integrations that work seamlessly. On Salesforce AppExchange, the Salesforce to Mailchimp integration has a mind-blowing 2.5/5 rating!

It’s terribly low. It’s also the standard of an effort with good intentions but not-so-stellar implementation.

Here’s the thing: the solution creators (the people that build Mailchimp, Salesforce, or Constant Contact) have nothing to gain from these integrations. So the effort put into maintaining them and fixing bugs is minimal.

So are the features in them! These solutions are amazing marketing and sales powerhouses. But when you connect them using a free/native integration, you lose most of their amazing features. You are paying for features that you won’t be able to use.

When you opt for an integration solution created by a company that literally only does this, you get the seamless experience your marketing, accounting, and sales department need in order to put the company’s growth on auto-pilot.

Why Work with a Dedicated Integration Provider and a Trusted Constant Contact Partner?

First of all, the dedicated solutions work! They are the bread and butter of their makers, so they are regularly updated and maintained.

For instance, when you choose the Salesforce to Constant Contact integration by SyncApps by Cazoomi, you don’t just get access to all the features in your subscription plans for the two solutions.

You also get an array of options for reporting, targeting, and deriving data-driven insights from this integration.

Plus:

  • UNLIMITED contacts and data. Go wild with your campaigns, test, and send as much as you need. There’s no limit.
  • Campaign Metrics from Constant Contact and Mailchimp back to Salesforce. Even if you discontinue your plan on SyncApps, you will still have access to your data. This doesn’t happen with a Salesforce app! For instance, the people who were using CTCT will lose ALL their data when it’s discontinued. That means YEARS of insights and work down the drain.
  • 24/7 support, irrespective of the plan you’re on. We believe that everyone should be able to leverage our integration to the fullest, so we are there to help EVERYBODY, not just subscribers on top-tier plans.
  • Onboarding phone support. We’ll be there for you every step of the way when you first meet SyncApps by Cazoomi. And yes, it’s 100% FREE. It’s also available on all our plans, INCLUDING free trials. What have you got to lose?

Book your 100% FREE onboarding session here and let’s get you started on an integration that can truly make a difference in your business.

You know what they say — the road to hell is paved with good intentions. The same goes for the free integrations on Salesforce Appexchange. In theory, they are a good idea. In practice, you’re better off with no integration, migrating data between solutions manually, like it’s 2005 all over again.

By the way, it’s NOT 2005. It’s 2020 and you NEED a reliable integration solution. We trust ours so much that our FREE trial is completely free, with no strings attached. We don’t even ask for your credit card number — that’s how sure we are that you’ll absolutely LOVE it. Start here and let’s get your marketing and sales techniques where they belong: in 2020.
