Use this endpoint to create (POST) a Constant Contact Toolkit account. Newly created accounts are free 60 day trial accounts that give the user the opportunity to try Constant Contact before buying. Trial accounts have limits depending on the services that are included. Learn more about trial account limitations here.
Please note that this endpoint uses basic authentication, and requires the partners username and password be included in each call.
Important All test accounts used in validating your account creation integration must use "@nullmailer.com" as the domain.
NOTE: This endpoint is available only to approved Constant Contact Technology Platform partners selling Toolkit accounts. Learn more here. It also uses basic authentication as documented on this page.

Create a Constant Contact Toolkit account using this endpoint. You must provide the following information when creating an account:
NOTE: You must be set up for either single- or partner-billing in order to create Toolkit accounts.
In order to set up a new account for single-billing, you must set both managed_site_owner
and single_billing
to true in the request payload.
If you are using Single Sign On (SSO), do not provide a password when creating user accounts. Instead, supply the following parameter-value pairs in the POST request payload:
idp_provider
- unique identified for the partner, provided by Constant Contact when approved for SSOidp_provider_id
- The unique identifier for the Toolkit account ownerYou have the option of generating an OAuth 2.0 access token for each account during the account creation process. Generating an access token when you create each account eliminates the need for new users to go through the OAuth grant access flow when they first login to your Constant Contact integration.
Set the oauth2_token_provided
query parameter to true to generate an OAuth 2.0 access token for the account during provisioning. The oauth2_token
is returned in the response.
When creating accounts for users who have opted-out of any marketing communications, you can pass along that preference to us so that Constant Contact will not send any marketing communications to this account. Use the gdpr_opt_out
property, set to true
in the request payload.
Make a POST API call to this endpoint to trigger a webhook to be sent to your previously configured callback URL. Note that unlike many other POST calls, there is no payload required for this call.
Example data will be sent to your callback URL if it has been set up. The response for this test call will echo that from your callback URL. If a subscription hasn't been set up, you'll receive an error when calling this endpoint.
