Constant Contact

Constant Contact is a tool for businesses to manage their email newsletter and customer marketing. Their suite of products not only includes email marketing, but also event registration, surveys and promotions. The Help Scout app instantly connects your customer to their Constant Contact profile. You can see the lists they are subscribed to and have one-click access to the Contact Management screen in Constant Contact. Here's a snapshot of what it looks like in Help Scout:

On the next page, you'll be prompted to grant access to Help Scout. Click the Allow button! You'll be redirected once more to a page containing your new access token. Copy your token and head over to Help Scout.
