Aug 8, 2011 Update: iContact Integration

Today we’re happy to announce the release of the iContact integration for DPD.

iContact provides a robust array of tools to create, send and track your email marketing campaigns. We’re fans of iContact- from our testing they were easy to use and integrate with DPD. They also have a 30 day free trial.

Integrating DPD with iContact

Integration takes a few steps due to iContact’s security, but its all straightforward. iContact requires that you authorize DPD to add subscribers to your account and create a new username and password to use with the API.

Please do the following to create your password:

1. Visit http://app.icontact.com/icp/core/externallogin
2. Enter your iContact username and password to log in to iContact.
3. Enter the following for the API-AppId:

4. Enter a password. Note: For security reasons, we recommend that this password be different than your iContact password.
5. Click Save.
6. Log in to DPD and visit the integrations page in the left menu
7. Click the Add button to activate the iContact integration and enter your username and password created step 4 above.
8. Click save

That’s it! Now all sales for the selected store will pass their customer information to your iContact list.

We’ve got a couple more integrations we’re working on as we move down our list of requests. If anyone has any questions or comments please feel free to send us a support ticket or comment on this post and we’ll do our best to get you squared away.
