How do I select a specific Constant Contact list to verify?
Constant Contact organizes contacts into lists and tagged groups. Valid Email Checker reads both shapes through the Constant Contact API and surfaces them in a single searchable picker. Connection credentials and token rotation live in the Constant Contact integration guide.
Opening the list picker
- Open Integrations in the VEC sidebar.
- Find the Constant Contact row in Connected Integrations.
- Click the three-dot menu and choose Sync Now (or open the same modal from Bulk Upload).
- A modal appears showing the Constant Contact logo and the list picker.
- Pick one list with the radio button.
What appears in the picker
- Contact lists — every manually curated list visible to your token.
- Tagged groups — subscribers grouped by Constant Contact tags, treated as selectable lists.
- Subscriber counts — pulled live from Constant Contact so you can size the verification cost.
- Search field — filters the picker by name in real time.
Constant Contact segments (filter-defined dynamic groups) are not exposed as a separate list type here. If you want to verify a segment, materialize it into a list first using the Constant Contact dashboard.
Sizing the cost before you commit
The credits-needed line at the bottom of the modal uses the Constant Contact subscriber count. Duplicate removal (on by default) cuts the actual spend further. Unknown-status results are automatically credit-refunded, so even a verify-only run on a noisy list often ends up costing less than the displayed estimate.
Refreshing list data
Click the circular refresh icon at the top right of the modal. VEC re-queries the Constant Contact API and updates subscriber counts in place. Use this after creating new lists or after a fresh import that just landed in Constant Contact.
After picking the list
Below the picker, choose Verify Only (default — Constant Contact untouched) or Clean List Automatically. Hit Import List, and you are redirected to Uploads & Results where progress updates in real time. The verification keeps running even if you close the tab — the work happens server-side on Valid Email Checker's infrastructure.
Troubleshooting selection
- List does not appear — the API token may not have the right scopes. Constant Contact tokens occasionally expire and need refreshing through OAuth.
- Subscriber count looks off — Constant Contact counts include unsubscribed contacts in some API responses. The Import button still works; the credits estimate is a strict upper bound.
- Empty picker — the connected Constant Contact account has no contact lists yet, or the token lacks read permissions.
