According to IContact, you HAVE to keep their advertising in for this widget to work! Can't believe I'm paying IContact, and then I HAVE to advertise for them too.  I'm going to start looking into alternatives now. There's so many things that other providers do that IContact does not. MailChimp, AWeber--heard they are good.  This doesn’t work AND IT WON’T. According to IContact, you HAVE to keep their advertising in for this widget to work!

It looks like gravity forms icontact add-on is one of your apps.  Is that correct? I activated the icontact form app, followed each step to register the app Got this response from icontact "The application "iContact Gravity Forms Add-on" can now access your account, using the password you provided. " Figured I was good to go. Put my icontact username, app id and app username that I had just received during registration into place so I could save the settings and get to working on my form. Hit save and got the following message: "The application was not recognized. Possible reasons are: the API-AppId was entered incorrectly; the application is not registered for that user." So, as the gravity app suggested, I contacted icontact and they said there was nothing they could do, the problem was not on their end. So, I'm right back to where I started.

I activated the icontact form app,
followed each step to register the app

Got this response from icontact
“The application “iContact Gravity Forms Add-on” can now access your
account, using the password you provided. ”

Figured I was good to go. Put my icontact username, app id and app
username that I had just received during registration into place so I
could save the settings and get to working on my form.

Hit save and got the following message: “The application was not
recognized. Possible reasons are: the API-AppId was entered incorrectly;
the application is not registered for that user.”

So, as the gravity app suggested, I contacted icontact and they said
there was nothing they could do, the problem was not on their end.

So, I’m right back to where I started.

So what's your experience with gravity forms?  How is THEIR customer service?  Do you know how quickly they deal with problems?  Just trying to find out before I make the decision to  drop more money into this problem....

Just trying to find out before I make the decision to  drop more money into this problem….

If this is the best you can do, then I seriously need to make a decision whether I should put more time into this seemingly endless problem or spend the time to close my icontact account and go with my second choice service.  Well, that would be a great option if when I go to download the gravity forms widget-the one I’m told I need to make the one you suggested work – didn’t have a big warning about how compatibility hasn’t been tested with my version of wordpress.

Icontact has badly let us down. The form looks quite horrible on my site - and will need to pay someone to get something better! I understand your frustration. Icontact has badly let us down.

Thanks.
