How to use conditional logic for Constant Contact connections? #

To use conditional logic, enable the option by ticking the ‘Use Conditional Logic’ option at the bottom of every connection you make.

In the above example, the form sends data to the Constant Contact account only if the First Name is ‘Everest’.

Note: You can add more than one connections.
