The CRD is integrated and configured with Constant Contact, a service platform to send emails to subscribed users of contact lists.
Upanup has developed a custom module to extend Drupal's functionality with Constant Contant to:
- Automatically create contact lists when a new content (node) is created
- Allow users to subscribe to a contact list on a particular content (node)
- Manually trigger and send a mailout to a contact list when publishing a particular content on create or edit
- Allow users to subscribe to multiple contact lists
