Can anyone recommend a email marketing company that they have successfully integrated with EE?

I know how to integrate signup/unsubscribe forms into websites, which is not my problem.

My problem is I want my 20,000 members to have a great self-service member area within EE and I want them to be able to update their email address (duh) and have it update EE’s member database as well as make an API or other call to an email marketing company to update the email address in their database.

I’ve used iContact, Benchmark Email, and aWeber, but their integration options are limited or non-existent.

HELP! I know I am not alone in this endeavor.

P.S. the forum is great and I’ve learned a lot.  I really want to be a EE customer.

Hi, Seanrietze, welcome to the forums!

I haven’t personally used it, but I know solspace.com has an add-on that works with Constant Contact.  That may be an option for you to check out. =)

Others may have other recommendations as well. =)

Try aweber.com - they are used by a ton of bloggers.  Great product, inexpensive, strong autoresponder system.

Thanks Sr,

Have you been able to get aweber to integrate well with EE?

Cheers,

aweber works well with EE, but there is no integration with EE.

Perhaps you could check out Campaign Monitor, it seems to have a pretty good (albeit simple) API. MailChimp has one as well.
