CRM integration

Compliance-first affiliate program on iContact's legacy stack.

iContact has been around since 2003 and built a reputation for compliance-friendly sending. Rekomi inherits that posture, only opt-in affiliates with timestamped accepted-terms sync to iContact, keeping your sender reputation clean.

How it works

From paste-API-key to first paid affiliate in 10 minutes.

01 / 03
Connect

Paste your iContact API key into Rekomi. Rekomi runs a test call to verify the key, then pulls your list/audience picker live from iContact so you pick the right destination.

02 / 03
Approve

Affiliates apply via your public landing page or your bulk invite. Approve them manually, auto-approve on a campaign, or import an existing affiliate roster from Rewardful and six other platforms via Settings > Migrate.

03 / 03
Sync

Approved affiliates land in your iContact list as tagged subscribers within seconds. Rekomi handles idempotency, retries, and per-campaign overrides; you handle the nurture sequence.

What syncs

The exact iContact fields Rekomi writes.

No surprise fields, no overwrites of contact data you already have. Empty values are omitted so existing nurture data is preserved.

  • POST /icp/a/{accountId}/c/{clientFolderId}/contacts with contact array
  • email, firstName, lastName, prefix
  • Subscription via separate call to subscriptions endpoint (NOT inline on contact create, common mistake)
  • Three-credential auth: appId, password, accountId
  • Sync semantics: 201 on new, 200 on update
Three use-cases

What iContact customers actually do with Rekomi.

Use-case 01

Compliance-first sender reputation protection

iContact's strict compliance posture is part of why brands pick it. Rekomi only syncs affiliates who've explicitly accepted your program terms (timestamped audit-log entry on the Rekomi side). iContact never sees an unsolicited contact.

Paired commission
Conservative RevShare with explicit opt-in only
Use-case 02

Small-business affiliate program

iContact serves small businesses with 100-10,000 subscribers. Rekomi's Starter tier ($29/month) targets the same audience. Combined cost stays predictable for an SMB owner.

Paired commission
Flat 15% RevShare, $10 CPS, no caps
Use-case 03

US-domiciled small-business stack

iContact is US-headquartered (Cary, NC) with US data centers. For US-based SMBs prioritizing US data residency, pair with Rekomi (US-hosted Vercel + DO Postgres in NYC3).

Tiered RevShare with US-only affiliate cohort
Provider-specific handling

Rekomi handles iContact's edge cases so you don't have to.

Every CRM API has quirks. Rekomi's integration code was built and audited against the live iContactdocs, these are the ones you'd otherwise hit yourself.

Three-credential auth

iContact uses appId + password + accountId for auth. Rekomi's connect form takes all three with explicit labels. Easy to confuse password with API key, the helper text spells it out.

Subscription is a separate call

Common iContact mistake: trying to subscribe on the contact-create call. Subscription must be a SEPARATE call to the `subscriptions` endpoint. Rekomi handles the two-call sequence; the connect form prompts you to pick a list/folder where the subscription lands.

Header validation for credentials

iContact's headers are strict about character sets. Rekomi validates credentials don't contain control characters before sending, graceful 400 surfaced to the user instead of a confusing 500 from iContact's API.

Who this is for

Built for legacy small-business email senders on iContact's Starter ($31/month) or Pro tier. If you picked iContact for the compliance-friendly posture and US-data residency, Rekomi maintains both, opt-in-only sync, US-hosted infrastructure.

FAQ

Common iContact questions.

Does iContact have an affiliate program?

iContact runs an affiliate program (15% commission) for promoting iContact. That's separate from running YOUR affiliate program. Rekomi is the layer for the latter.

Will iContact's compliance posture cover affiliate emails?

Yes, Rekomi's accept-affiliate-program page captures explicit opt-in with timestamp + audit-log. The affiliate has clearly opted in to receiving program-related emails. iContact's compliance team treats this the same as any opted-in marketing list.

What's the minimum iContact plan?

iContact Starter ($31/month, 500 contacts) is the minimum with API access. Pro tier adds advanced features but Rekomi works on either.
