Downloading data from target databases
You cannot download contact data, such as email addresses, for target databases. By using the reference data functionality, you are able to download limited information.
If a supporter enters their address into an ETT (Email to Target) and no target comes back… i.e. a supporter from Georgia or Texas or Nova Scotia enters their address on an ETT for which they should qualify to send based on their address, they may not be in our target database. You can request to add them here:
Canadian Databases – https://secure.engagingnetworks.net/page/131641/data/1
United States Databases – https://secure.engagingnetworks.net/page/129950/data/1
Supporter Address Not Pulling a Target
We do our best to maintain and keep our databases as up-to-date as possible. There are times when supporter addresses are not pulling a target from the database. You can request an update to the database.
