Why Extract from Constant Contact Automations?

Constant Contact offers automated email series including welcome sequences, birthday emails, anniversary messages and resend-to-non-openers workflows. Each automation tracks which contacts entered, completed or are currently active in the series.

While the general Constant Contact export is covered in Extract Emails from Constant Contact Export, segment data in Extract Emails from Constant Contact Segments, and report data in Extract Emails from Constant Contact Reports, this article focuses on automation-specific exports.
