===== Mini-FAQ =====

**Why can't I see the list I just uploaded in my Constant Contact account?** 
When ChannelSUITE uploads a list to Constant Contact, they create a "Activity" which processes the uploaded list. This may take a short while to complete. You may track the progress of the list import and view any errors under the Activity list in your Constant Contact account.

**Can I upload to an existing list in Constant Contact?** 
No You must create a new list. 

**I notice that some of the contacts in the list on ChannelSUITE did not show up in Constant Contact. Why?** 
Most likely that is because the contacts are missing email addresses, which are required for Constant Contact. Log into your Constant Contact account and under the Activity page view your activity. They will show you the errors of the upload including missing email addresses. 

**Why do I need to enter my Constant Contact password every time?**
For privacy and security reasons, we do not store your Constant Contact credentials on our server.
