How does iContact connect to Broadcast?
With a web form or Zapier, not a native app. Broadcast, formerly Call Loop, web forms collect phone numbers next to your iContact sign-up, and Zapier can keep both lists in step. Your Broadcast list then gets texts, picture messages, ringless voicemail drops, and voice broadcasts. Plans start at $15 a month.
Overview
A web form, or Zapier.
iContact has no native Broadcast app. The simplest path is a Broadcast web form. It collects name, email, phone, and custom fields, can ask for a double opt-in, sends the first text, and adds each person to a Broadcast list.
To keep iContact in step, connect both apps on Zapier. Broadcast’s Contact Added to List trigger can create the contact in iContact and subscribe it to a list, and iContact’s New Contact in List trigger can add it to a Broadcast list. There is no ready-made template, so you build the Zap once.
How it works
Connect iContact in three steps.
- 01
Create a Broadcast web form
In Broadcast, open Web Forms, write the first text, turn on the compliance message and double opt-in, and choose the fields (phone, name, email, and any custom field).
- 02
Place it, or connect Zapier
Copy the HTML code onto your site next to your iContact sign-up, or build a Zap between iContact and Broadcast (still listed as Call Loop 2.0).
- 03
Test it, then start a campaign
Sign up with your own number, check the Broadcast list, then use that list as the trigger of a campaign of texts, voicemail drops, and calls.
Use cases

Updates to the whole list

Documentation
Start with the current integration guide.
The current iContact connection and setup documentation are available below.
Does iContact connect to Broadcast natively?
No. Use a Broadcast web form to collect phone numbers next to your iContact sign-up, or connect both apps on Zapier. iContact’s New Contact in List trigger can add people to a Broadcast list, and Broadcast’s Contact Added to List trigger can create them in iContact.
What does it cost to message iContact subscribers?
Messages use the same credits as the rest of Broadcast. That is 1 credit per text up to 160 characters, 2 credits per picture message or voice memo, 2 credits per delivered voicemail drop, and 1 credit per minute of call (2 credits with press 1 transfer). Plans start at $15 a month for 250 credits, with a 14-day free trial. Zapier, if you use it, bills its own plan.
Can I text everyone on my iContact list?
No. An email subscription is not permission to text or call. Add a phone field with clear SMS consent wording to your iContact form, name your business in each message, include how to opt out, and honor STOP replies. A Broadcast web form can add the consent wording and ask for a double opt-in. Since the FCC’s 2022 ruling, a ringless voicemail to a cell phone is treated as a call. This is not legal advice.
