Zeidman Development create Constant Contact plug-in for The Raiser’s Edge
Howard Lake | 19 February 2013 | News
Zeidman Development has created a plug-in that enables fundraisers using Blackbaud's The Raiser's Edge to integrate their mailing date with email tool Constant Contact.
'Contactegration' allows fundraisers better to manage their email campaigns while sharing contacts and tracking results across both platforms.
In particular it allows users to:

-
export constituents to Constant Contact lists, including all contact details and a range of custom fields
-
remove constituents no longer in a query, ideal for maintaining membership email lists.
- bring results back into The Raiser's Edge, add actions to 'everyone sent' or 'everyone opened', mark unsubscribers and bounces appropriately.
- match constituents by email address or ID number to ensure complete accuracy.
Zeidman Development creates customised solutions for users of The Raiser’s Edge, Blackbaud Enterprise CRM and Blackbaud Direct Marketing. Previous tools include 'Chimpegration', a tool that links The Raiser's Edge with email tool Mailchimp.
Zeidman Development is offering a trial version of Contactegration, available for download, which is fully functional against the Blackbaud sample database.
