iContact Integration

Overview

iContact integration enables you to send the giveaway participants' email addresses directly to the iContact list.

Before you start

• For iContact integrations, you must possess an active iContact account.
• In iContact, you must obtain the Application ID, Username / Email Address, and Password parameters.
• In iContact, you can either use the current lists to collect email addresses or create a new list.
• In the Socialman giveaway, you must use the Sign up for a newsletter action. Only those participants which have completed this action will be directed to iContact.

Connect and configure

To integrate your giveaway and iContact list, follow the below steps:

1. Log in to the dashboard, and click the Integrations tab.
2. Search the giveaway you are looking to integrate and click the Integrations icon.
3. Search iContact in the Add integrations section and click the Add icon on the right side.
4. Paste your Application ID, Username / Email Address, and Password parameters in the form. Afterward, download your iContact lists using the Click to download button. Once lists are downloaded, select the list you want to send emails to and save the form.

Once completing the integration, the email address of participants who completed the Sign up for a newsletter entry will be transferred to iContact automatically. It will appear in the iContact list within a few minutes. The emails recorded in the contest prior to the integration will be also sent to the iContact list.

Deactivate integration

To stop sending email addresses from a giveaway to the iContact mailing list, delete the active integration as follows:

1. Log in to the dashboard, and click the Integrations tab.
2. Search the giveaway that you are targeting to disconnect and click the Integrations icon.
3. In the Active integrations, find your iContact integration and click the Delete icon on the right side.

Testing

Participate in the giveaway yourself to test the integration. Also, complete the Sign up for a newsletter action. Afterward, if your email address shows up in the iContact list in the next few minutes, then your integration is successful.
