How do I import CRM contacts into the Gateway eNewsletter?

If your office has both iConstituent's CRM and the Constituent Gateway eNewsletter, you have the ability to build complex queries within the CRM and then import them into the Gateway eNewsletter.

NOTE: If your office has the "Mailings" tab enabled, you can set up a newsletter from within the CRM without importing contacts to the Gateway. For more information, see our article How do I send out an e-newsletter using the Mailings module?

1. Begin by creating a Saved Search within the CRM's Contacts module.
2. Select the new search from the left navigation menu.
