How to have Custom Text Field match to custom fields built in Constant Contact

    When I add a custom text field and name it the same thing as a custom text field I added to my Constant Contact account (My Settings >> Manage my custom fields), the submitted data comes across as “Custom Field 1” and “Custom Field 2”, etc…

    Custom Field 2: NBP1000
    Custom Field 1: BSR0001

    I cannot find any way to fix this. I even went in and renamed these…but when I re-submitted the form they still came across as Custom Field #.

    Hi @omnialive

    On the Constant Contact admin panel side, that’s not something we’re able to override or change from our end.

    Because of that, we did set up a small way to include the custom field label from the WordPress side as part of the resulting value, but there are small caveats.

    First, from our FAQs:

    You can add this to your active theme or custom plugin: add_filter( ‘constant_contact_include_custom_field_label’, ‘__return_true’ );. Note: custom fields have a max length of 50 characters. Including the labels will subtract from the 50 character total available.

    So some minor brevity may be needed because if you gave a label of “Favorite Color”, that’s going to take up 16 of the available 50 characters, but in Constant Contact, it would show as “Custom Field 1: Favorite color: blue”. 14 characters for the “favorite color” label, and then 2 more for the “: ” to help space out. It’s not the greatest solution in the world, but we do try to offer what we can from this side of things.
