Troubleshooting

If you have connected to iContact and data is not being added to your list, these are the most common reasons as to why:

Email already in iContact list
The email address entered into the promotion may already be in your iContact list, so it will not be added again.

Email already entered into ViralSweep
The email address entered into the promotion has already been entered into the promotion previously, so therefore it is not passed to iContact. This can happen if you set up your iContact integration after you have already entered the promotion.

User did not opt-in
The user did not click the link in the double opt-in confirmation email that was sent to them. If they do not click the link, they will not be added to your list.

Delay in reporting
iContact is having a delay in reporting. Try checking again in a few hours.
