The documentations says, “You can pass custom fields across and you can specify one of your Constant Contact Interest Categories to add the registrant to.”

How can my EE site’s users subscribe to multiple (optional) interest codes in my CC mailing list? How would I allow my users to modify their subscriptions--do they have to log in to CC, or can I credential them at my site (without CC challenging them for credentials)? How would this work? And, can the extension register EE users in CC’s interest categories if they aren’t marked “visible” in my CC account?

For example, I have the following interest codes (lists) set up in my CC account:
- Newsletters
- Daily Digest
- Leads (marked not to display) in CC

Thanks in advance.

Quena, I am trying to get an answer for you. I had to sign up with CC to actually test this.

Quena, I am sorry it took this long to get back to you, there were some issues an my end… Here’s the gist:

How can my EE site’s users subscribe to multiple (optional) interest codes in my CC mailing list?

From what I can tell, multiple lists are not supported at this moment. Might make for a good feature request, though.

How would I allow my users to modify their subscriptions--do they have to log in to CC, or can I credential them at my site (without CC challenging them for credentials)? How would this work?

Currently, the extension only works on the initial submission, ie when signing up. It would - again - make for an excellent feature request to re-submit their data when they edit their EE user profile.

And, can the extension register EE users in CC’s interest categories if they aren’t marked “visible” in my CC account?

It is up to you to provide a custom field containing a valid CC list / interest category. Whether this list is visible in the CC front end or not, should not matter.
