NAME

Email::ConstantContact - Perl interface to the ConstantContact API

VERSION

Version 0.03

SYNOPSIS

This module allows you to interact with the ConstantContact mass email marketing service from perl, such as creating and mainting contacts and contact lists.

Before using this module, you must register your application with the ConstantContact company, agree to their terms & conditions, and apply for an API access key. You will use this key, in combination with a ConstantContact username and password to interact with the service.

use Email::ConstantContact;

my $apikey = 'ABCDEFG1234567';
my $username = 'mycompany';
my $password = 'topsecret';

my $cc = new Email::ConstantContact($apikey, $username, $password);

# How to enumerate existing Contact Lists:
my @all_lists = $cc->lists();
foreach my $list (@all_lists) {
    print "Found list: ", $list->{Name}, "\n";
}

# How to create a new Contact List:
my $new_list = $cc->newList('JAPH Newsletter', {
    SortOrder		=> '70',
    DisplayOnSignup		=> 'false',
    OptInDefault		=> 'false',
});

# How to add a new contact:
my $new_contact = $cc->newContact('jdoe@example.com', {
    FirstName	=> 'John',
    LastName	=> 'Doe',
    CompanyName	=> 'JD Industries',
    ContactLists	=> [ $new_list ],
});

# How to modify existing contact:
my $old_contact = $cc->getContact('yogi@example.com');
print "Yogi no longer works for ", $old_contact->{CompanyName}, "\n";
$old_contact->{CompanyName} = 'Acme Corp';

# Enumerate List Membership
print "Member of Lists: \n";
foreach my $listid (@{ $old_contact->{ContactLists} }) {
    my $listobj = $cc->getList($listid);
    print $listobj->{Name}, "\n";
}

# Manage List Membership
$old_contact->removeFromList($some_list_id);
$old_contact->clearAllLists();
$old_contact->addToList($new_list);
$old_contact->save();

# Opt-Out of all future emails
$old_contact->optOut();
$old_contact->save();

# Display recent activities
my @recent_activities = $cc->activities();

foreach my $activity (@recent_activities) {
    print "Found recent activity, Type= ", $activity->{Type}, 
        "Status= ", $activity->{Status}, "\n";
}
