Now that you’ve linked Constant Contact with timetoreply, here’s what you’ll be able to do.

In timetoreply:

  • You’ll have the option of creating new contacts or contact groups within timetoreply automatically using your Constant Contacts contacts. To do this go to YOUR NAME ON THE TOP RIGHT > CONTACT GROUPS (was Customer Groups) and then click “Add from Constant Contact”, search for a list within Constant Contact and choose whether you want to sync the email addresses or just the domains. Note that when contacts are added or removed from that Constant Contact list, they will be updated in timetoreply™ accordingly.

  • You can use these contact groups to create specific reports (for example a report on how well your sales team is responding to leads from your outbound email campaigns from Constant Contact) and real-time email alerts for that set of customers (for example send an alert if there has been no reply from my customer service team to Top “100 Customers” contact group after 2 hours). Once you have created a contact group in timetoreply™ you can use it as a filter on any of the reports under “when communicating with”. You will also be able to choose the contact group when creating real-time email alerts.
