READ AND WRITE TO CONSTANT CONTACT WITH SSIS USING TASK FACTORY

Manually importing and exporting data from web services can be a time-consuming task. A popular web service used today is Constant Contact for sending emails to your customers. Wouldn’t it be great to get data into or out of Constant Contact in a more automated way using SSIS?

By using the REST Source and Destination component of Task Factory, you can do just that! Task Factory’s REST Source and Destination allows you to quickly and easily connect to almost any web service/cloud application that utilizes a REST API, such as Constant Contact, Google Analytics, GoToWebinar, Salesforce.com, Twitter and many more, and bring that data right into your data flow.
