Integrating iContact

In your PayKickstart account, go to Configure → Integrations.

First, you’ll need to integrate on your main integration page.

Inside the Integrations menu, make sure to click on the Available tab.

Then find the Autoresponders category in the filter, and scroll down to locate iContact.

You can also search for iContact directly within the Search field:

Enable iContact by clicking the toggle switch.

Enter your iContact Account Name, App ID, API Username, and API Password, and click Connect.

To find these fields, you’ll need to do the following:

1. Open your iContact account and then open a new tab and go to https://app.icontact.com/icp/core/registerapp to create your iContact API application ID.

   

2. Create an Application Name (PayKickstart) and Description, and click on “Get App ID”.

3. In the next screen, you will see your Application Name & Description. Right below that, you will see the option to show information for API 2.0 or 1.0; you must select API 2.0.

   

4. Once you have selected the option to show information for API 2.0, the information for your application will appear at the bottom of the page, providing you with your API – APPID.

5. Click on the link at the bottom of the page that says “enable this AppId for your account”. Now, a new screen will come up showing your Application ID and requesting you to create a password for your application. This is your API Password.

After connecting your account, you must set up a Trigger to tell PayKickstart when to send customer information to iContact.

In the PayKickstart dashboard, go to Configure and select Triggers →

https://app.paykickstart.com/vendor/configure/triggers

Click the + New Trigger button to create a new rule.

Configure the Trigger settings as follows:

• Status:
  First, toggle the switch at the top to make the trigger ACTIVE.

• Trigger Name:
  Give your trigger a descriptive name so you can easily identify it later
  (e.g., "Product 1 - New Sale to iContact").
   

Select Event(s):
Choose the event that will fire this trigger.
For adding new customers, New sale is the most common choice.

IF Condition (The Rule):

This defines the variable that must be included for the trigger to run.

Important: The IF condition must be set to a Product, for the integration to function.

Best Practice Use Case:
We recommend creating a separate trigger for each product.
This makes it easier to manage and troubleshoot specific product integrations if needed, rather than having 1 trigger where all products are selected.

THEN Action (The Result):

This defines what will happen when the IF condition is met.

Please ensure that you have your Lists and Tags created in your iContact account.

• Set the THEN action to: add customer to Email Marketing service.

• Service: Select iContact from the dropdown.

• Account: Choose the iContact account you connected in your Integrations section.

• Select List: Choose the specific iContact list where you want to add the customer.

• Add Tag: Select a Tag, or multiple Tags you want to apply to the customer in iContact (e.g., new customer, subscribed customer, etc.)

Once you have configured the rule, click the Update Trigger button to save your automation.
