Add subscribers to Constant Contact lists once, with honest consent
For marketers who want a person added to the right Constant Contact list without duplicates or re-adding an unsubscribe, by asking their AI assistant.

Connector
Connect Constant Contact, pick your AI tool and paste the prompt.
The problem
One careless add can bring back someone who unsubscribed
Adding a subscriber by hand means finding the right list, checking whether they are already a contact and recording how they agreed to hear from you. Get it wrong and you create a duplicate, re-add an unsubscribe or claim explicit permission nobody gave.
Without PopdockAI
- Search Constant Contact for the list and the person
- Guess whether an old contact unsubscribed
- Pick a permission setting from memory
- Find the duplicate or the complaint later
With PopdockAI
- The list is found and you pick when several match
- Existing and unsubscribed contacts are caught first
- Permission is set from how the person actually opted in
- Nothing is added until you confirm, then the list is checked
The prompt
Use this prompt
Copy it into any AI tool connected to PopdockAI. Swap the values in braces for your own.
**Objective:** Add the contact `{email-address}` (name `{full-name}`, if given) to the contact list `{list-name}`.
**Step 1: Resolve the list**
Call `constant-contact-get-contact-list` with `name` set to `{list-name}`. If nothing matches, retry with `name.contains`; if that gives several, list them and stop so the user can pick. Keep the list-id.
**Step 2: Check the contact**
Call `constant-contact-get-contact` with `email-address` set to `{email-address}`.
* If the contact already exists, call `constant-contact-get-contact-list-member` with `email-address` to show which lists they are on. These tools can only add a list when creating a contact, so tell the user the existing contact must be added to the list in Constant Contact, and stop.
* If the contact's permission-to-send is unsubscribed, never re-add them.
**Step 3: Confirm consent and details**
Split `{full-name}` into first and last name. Ask the user how the contact gave permission: explicit only if they opted in directly (a signup form, a request to join), otherwise implicit. Show email, first name, last name, list name and permission. Do not proceed without an explicit yes.
**Step 4: Create**
Call `constant-contact-add-contact` exactly once with `email`, `first-name`, `last-name`, `list-id` and `permission-to-send`. Then call `constant-contact-get-contact-list-member` with `email-address` set to `{email-address}` and confirm the contact is on the list.
**Rules & Guidelines:**
* `constant-contact-add-contact` is the only write tool this prompt may call. Do not call `constant-contact-update-contact`, `constant-contact-add-contact-list` or `constant-contact-update-contact-list`. Do not create the list if it does not exist.
* Never mark permission as explicit unless the user states the contact opted in.
**Validation:**
* If `{email-address}` is not a valid email address, say so and stop.Who it's for
