# How to connect

> How to connect the Constant Contact Email data source to Adriel: authorize a Constant Contact account and name the data source.

Constant Contact Email is Constant Contact's email marketing platform, covering campaign creation, list management, and email performance reporting. Connecting it brings each email campaign's lifetime performance metrics — sends, bounces, opens, clicks, opt-outs, and device-level breakdowns — into Adriel dashboards.

## Before you connect

The following is required:

* A Constant Contact account with access to the email campaigns that should be reported on. The account used to authorize determines which campaigns are imported.

## Connect Constant Contact Email

<Steps>
  <Step title="Authorize a Constant Contact account">
    On the **Data Sources** page, search for **Constant Contact Email** and select it. Sign in to Constant Contact in the pop-up and approve the requested read permissions. The organization tied to the authorized account is resolved automatically.
  </Step>

  <Step title="Enter a name">
    Enter a **Name** for the data source. Use any name that identifies this Constant Contact account within the workspace.
  </Step>

  <Step title="Submit">
    Click **Submit** to complete the connection. The initial sync runs in the background and imports the full email campaign catalog and its lifetime stats.
  </Step>
</Steps>

## What gets imported

The connector imports each email campaign and its aggregate performance metrics through the Constant Contact v3 API. Metrics are lifetime totals per campaign — sends, bounces, unique and total opens, unique and total clicks, opens and clicks split by device, forwards, and opt-outs — grouped by campaign and by campaign created or updated timestamp.

For the complete list of metrics, breakdowns, refresh cadence, and limits, see the [Constant Contact Email data reference](/data-sources/a-f/constant-contact-email/data-reference).

## Troubleshooting

<AccordionGroup>
  <Accordion title="Metrics are not filtered by date">
    Constant Contact returns lifetime totals per campaign, not a day-by-day series. The date range in Adriel controls which campaigns appear — based on each campaign's created or updated timestamp — rather than slicing the metric values by day.
  </Accordion>

  <Accordion title="The data source disconnected and needs reauthorizing">
    Constant Contact can invalidate the refresh token issued at connection. When that happens, the data source stops refreshing and must be reauthorized. Reconnect the data source and sign in again with the same Constant Contact account.
  </Accordion>

  <Accordion title="The older Constant Contact option is missing">
    The older combined Constant Contact connector is no longer offered. Connect **Constant Contact Email** for email campaign metrics, or **Constant Contact SMS** for SMS campaign metrics; both use the same Constant Contact account.
  </Accordion>
