How to automate Constant Contact user provisioning, and what it actually costs

Summary and recommendation

Constant Contact, the email marketing platform, does not support SCIM provisioning on any plan. The platform only offers SAML 2.0 SSO for partner-managed accounts through IdP-initiated authentication—meaning direct customers can't even access SSO functionality. This creates a significant gap for IT teams managing user access to marketing tools, as all user provisioning, deprovisioning, and permission management must be handled manually within Constant Contact's interface.

The lack of both SCIM and general SSO availability for direct customers means IT teams have no automated way to enforce access policies or ensure prompt deprovisioning when employees leave. For organizations using Constant Contact across multiple team members (especially on the Premium plan with unlimited users), this manual overhead becomes a compliance and security risk. When marketing teams need quick access to launch campaigns, the manual account creation process creates unnecessary friction.

The strategic alternative

Stitchflow provides SCIM-level provisioning through resilient browser automation for Constant Contact without requiring partner account status or custom development work. Works with any Constant Contact plan and integrates with all major identity providers. Flat pricing under $5K/year, regardless of team size.

The cost of not automating

Without SCIM (or an alternative like Stitchflow), your IT team manages Constant Contact accounts manually. Here's what that costs:

The Constant Contact pricing problem

Constant Contact gates SCIM provisioning behind premium plans, forcing significant cost increases for basic user management.

Premium$80/month (500 contacts)

Note: Pricing scales dramatically with contact volume—up to 300% increases at 2,500 contacts.

What this means in practice

Direct Constant Contact customers have no automated provisioning or SSO options regardless of plan tier:

Manual user creation
Every user must be manually invited and onboarded
No centralized access control
User permissions managed entirely within Constant Contact
Password-based authentication only
Users maintain separate credentials
Partner dependency for SSO
Only reseller/agency-managed accounts can access SAML SSO

For organizations managing email marketing through multiple team members, this creates significant administrative overhead and security gaps.

Additional constraints

IdP-initiated SSO only
Even partner accounts can't use SP-initiated login flows
No JIT provisioning
Users must be pre-created before SSO access works
Partner account manager dependency
SSO enablement requires manual intervention from Constant Contact partner support
Limited enterprise features
Core platform designed for SMB self-service, not enterprise IT management

Summary of challenges

  • Constant Contact does not provide native SCIM at any price tier
  • Organizations must rely on third-party tools or manual provisioning
  • Our research shows teams manually provisioning this app spend significant hidden costs annually

What Constant Contact actually offers for identity

Partner-Only SAML SSO

Constant Contact provides limited SSO capabilities, but only for partner-managed accounts:

SettingDetails
ProtocolSAML 2.0 (IdP-initiated only)
AvailabilityPartner-managed accounts only
Supported IdPsGeneric SAML providers via partner setup
User managementManual - no automated provisioning
Account requirementMust be managed by Constant Contact partner

Critical limitation: SSO is not available for direct Constant Contact customers. You need a partner-managed account, which requires working through a Constant Contact partner who enables SSO through their account management interface.

What's Missing for Direct Customers

For teams purchasing Constant Contact directly (Lite, Standard, or Premium plans), identity management options are extremely limited:

No SCIM provisioning
Users must be manually invited and managed
No SSO of any kind
Direct customers cannot integrate with IdPs
No JIT provisioning
New users require manual setup
OAuth 2.0 API only
Limited to application integrations, not user management

The Partner Account Catch-22

Even if you work with a partner to access SSO:

SSO configuration requires partner account manager involvement
Only IdP-initiated flows supported (no SP-initiated)
No automated user provisioning or deprovisioning
Partner markup typically increases your total cost

This setup works for enterprise email marketing agencies but fails most IT teams who need straightforward user lifecycle management for their marketing stack.

What IT admins are saying

Community sentiment on Constant Contact's user management reveals significant gaps for enterprise IT teams:

  • No SCIM provisioning available at any pricing tier
  • SSO limited to partner-managed accounts only, not direct customers
  • IdP-initiated SSO only - users can't start from Constant Contact login
  • Complex partner account setup requirements for basic SSO functionality

The recurring theme

IT teams using Constant Contact face manual user management with no automation options. Even basic SSO requires navigating partner account structures, making this unsuitable for organizations that need streamlined identity management across their marketing tools.

The decision

Your SituationRecommendation
Small marketing team (<10 users) on direct accountsManual management is acceptable
Partner-managed account with SSO needsUse native SAML (if your partner enables it)
Growing marketing organization (25+ users)Use Stitchflow: automation essential for scaling
Agency managing multiple client accountsUse Stitchflow: automation critical for client onboarding
Enterprise with compliance requirementsUse Stitchflow: automation essential for audit trail

The bottom line

Constant Contact offers no SCIM provisioning and restricts SSO to partner-managed accounts only. For direct customers or organizations that need automated user lifecycle management, Stitchflow provides the only viable provisioning automation path.

Email Marketing

ProvisioningNot Supported
Manual Cost$11,754/yr

Campaign Monitor, the email marketing platform used by agencies and marketing teams, does not support SCIM provisioning on any plan. While Campaign Monitor offers basic SSO integration through Okta and third-party solutions, there's no documented native SAML or SCIM support. This means IT teams must manually create, update, and remove user accounts - a significant operational burden for organizations managing multiple marketing team members or agency client access. The lack of automated provisioning creates a compliance gap for organizations that need consistent identity governance across their SaaS stack. Without SCIM, departing employees may retain access to sensitive customer data and marketing campaigns, while new team members face delays in getting the access they need. For agencies managing multiple client accounts, this manual process becomes especially problematic when onboarding or offboarding staff across numerous Campaign Monitor instances.

Email Marketing

ProvisioningNot Supported
Manual Cost$11,754/yr

Emma, Marigold's email marketing platform, does not offer SCIM provisioning on any plan. While Emma provides SAML 2.0 SSO integration (IdP-initiated only), this only handles authentication, not user lifecycle management. IT teams face a dual provisioning burden: users must be manually created in both their identity provider and Emma separately. Even worse, Emma's SSO implementation has a critical security gap—existing users who had passwords set before SSO was enabled can bypass SSO entirely and log in with their old credentials. This manual provisioning requirement creates significant operational overhead for marketing teams and agencies managing Emma access. Without automated provisioning, IT administrators must coordinate user creation across two systems for every onboarding and offboarding event. The bypass vulnerability means organizations cannot enforce consistent authentication policies, creating compliance risks for companies with strict identity governance requirements.

B2B Revenue Intelligence / ABM

ProvisioningNot Supported
Manual Cost$11,754/yr

6sense, the B2B revenue intelligence platform, has paused SCIM provisioning for new customers until Q4 2026. While existing customers with SCIM enabled can continue using it, new implementations are limited to JIT (Just-In-Time) provisioning through SAML SSO. This creates a significant gap for IT teams managing revenue intelligence access, as JIT only creates users on first login and provides minimal attribute mapping (email, first name, last name only). For an enterprise platform with typical pricing of $55,000-$130,000 annually, the absence of automated user lifecycle management is a substantial limitation. The lack of SCIM until Q4 2026 forces IT teams into manual provisioning workflows for a platform handling sensitive revenue data. While SAML SSO handles authentication, it doesn't address user lifecycle events like role changes, department transfers, or offboarding. This creates compliance risks in revenue teams where access to prospect data and sales intelligence must be tightly controlled. The nearly two-year wait for SCIM restoration means organizations implementing 6sense today face manual user management for the foreseeable future.
