Got Millions of Contacts? Here’s How to Make the Most of Them with Constant Contact for Dynamics 365

What do you do when you have a list of millions of contacts? First of all, you celebrate!

Congratulations — that’s a major achievement!

Celebration is a big part of making the most of them because your hard work is only just beginning, so take a breather before you dig deep into them.

When you have such a large list, you most likely have to divide the contacts between several segments. And they could also be scattered between various solutions.

Yes, I’m talking about one of the biggest nightmares of any business: siloed data. A million contact databases can become useless if data is siloed across several software solutions.

So what do you do? You integrate your solutions, of course, to get that coveted bird’s-eye-view over your contacts, their preferences, and their likelihood to buy from you (again).

But there’s one catch: even though the iPaaS market is constantly growing, most integration solution providers put a cap on the number of records you can integrate. With some solutions, you have the option to spend the equivalent of a kidney on the black market to get access to the option to sync more contacts. With others, you don’t even have that.

Ever run into this problem?

A lot of our subscribers did. In fact, this is why they switched to SyncApps: their research revealed that we were the only provider where you can sync millions of records without spending a fortune. But that’s not the only thing you can do with the Constant Contact for Dynamics 365 integration:

International Institute for Learning (IIL) is a SyncApps subscriber in the digital and marketing industry. They offer professional training & coaching for individuals and organizations.

Using Constant Contact for Dynamics 365 helps them track prospects, clients, and partners in real-time from different Campaigns. Since they offer various services, segmentation and real-time syncing are essential.

take into account the fact that each of these two types has various needs and preferences. They would lose customers if they sent a newsletter promoting their graphic design training to a construction company.

With SyncApps, they make sure that all their subscribers get the right message every time. Furthermore, IIL can sync millions of records without breaking the bank. By using the SyncApps integration, they save tons of time and they have the flexibility to add new features to their integration and create new segments whenever they need to.

It’s super easy to use the features they love, even for millions of records:

Sync 365 Marketing Lists to Constant Contact Lists: How-to

• Select the specific Marketing Lists in Step 1, only the records inside those Marketing Lists will be updated in Mailchimp during the sync. If there are record updates from Constant Contact Main Lists under that specified list, those updates will be synced back to Dynamics.
• Also, if there are new records that will land on your specified Lists, by default, those will be created as new records in Dynamics 365 Contact/Leads tab if those records do not exist at the time of syncing.



• This helps them to organize records and update existing records in their Dynamics Marketing List from Constant Contact Main Lists.

Sync Metrics from Constant Contact to Dynamics CRM: How-to

• Step 2, when you enable the Campaign Response (tracking the metrics from Constant Contact Campaigns) feature in Step 1, and when syncing back Constant Contact Campaigns, it can take some time for the API to process each record.
• You can select “All Constant Contact Campaigns” or “Select Specific Campaigns” to sync back to a Dynamics CRM Campaign that is automatically created via the API.
• By default, SyncApps will only retrieve Campaign Responses until 30 days after the Campaign is sent. Need to retrieve Campaign Responses past the 30 day limit for Campaign Responses retrieval? Just get in touch with our 24/7 Support.



• Syncing Campaign Responses is vital to every company, so IIL makes sure this will sync to their Lists in Dynamics 365 in real-time.

Note: It takes some time for the API to process each record.
