Migrating your contacts from one app to another can be tedious, and you may need some time to set up Brevo before you fully migrate. An easy way to smoothly migrate from Constant Contact to Brevo is to use our Constant Contact integration, which allows you to easily import and sync your Constant Contacts contacts to Brevo.
About the Constant Contact integration
The Constant Contact integration for Brevo is free. It allows you to sync your contacts from Constant Contact to Brevo in real time, which means that:
- Your existing and new contacts are imported from Constant Contact to Brevo.
- If you update your contacts in Constant Contact, the changes are reflected in Brevo and vice-versa.
The Constant Contact integration has some sync limitations:
- Contacts created or deleted in Brevo will not be reflected in Constant Contact.
- The subscription status for contacts in Constant Contact will not be reflected in Brevo.
- The following field types are not supported and will not be synced:
- Date-type fields.
- Boolean-type fields (Yes/No).
- Category-type fields (drop-down).
- The array-type fields that collect multiple values for one field, such as Address, Phone, and Website, do not appear in the mapping step. Only one value from an array-type field is collected and synced to Brevo.
- The phone number attribute must be 6-16 digits. If you create or update a contact in Constant Contact with a phone number not following this format, it will not be synced to Brevo.
The Constant Contact integration has some rate limitations:
- If you update or create more than 10k contacts in Constant Contact, only the latest 10k contacts will be reflected in Brevo. 10k is the maximum upper limit of contacts fetched from Constant Contact for a single bulk operation. The actual number of contacts fetched also depends on the page size in Constant Contact and its API's response time.
- There are some basic rate limits for how many operations can be performed simultaneously on contacts in Constant Contact. These limits are defined on time frame basis and are as follows:
Time Frame Maximum API Calls 1 second 4 24 hours 10,000 These limits reset each day at midnight 00:00 UTC.
- There’s a global limit on how much data your integrations can pull or sync with. This limit is set to 100,000 tasks/month. You will receive an email notification when you reach 80% of your monthly quota. If you exceed this limit, your integrations will be stopped, and you'll receive a new email notification. To increase your monthly quota, contact our support team.
