Using the ConstantContact mailing list, I was having trouble getting the welcome email to send after creating a new contact through the API. I had tried checking the “Autoresponder” box in the admin panel, but still no welcome email. The solution is to have:
var $actionBy = 'ACTION_BY_CONTACT';
in cc_class.php (provided via the “PHP Sample Forms” zip file). By default, this value is:
var $actionBy = 'ACTION_BY_CUSTOMER'
instead, which does not trigger the welcome email.
