For marketers who want new Shopify customers who accept marketing added to a Constant Contact list, by asking their AI assistant.

The problem
Opted-in Shopify buyers never reach your Constant Contact list
New Shopify customers who accept marketing should land in Constant Contact, but the two systems drift apart. Adding them by hand risks duplicate contacts or re-subscribing someone who already opted out.
Without PopdockAI
- Export new Shopify customers who accept marketing
- Search Constant Contact for each email one at a time
- Guess whether an existing contact had unsubscribed
- Clean up duplicates and reversed opt-outs later
With PopdockAI
- Opted-in Shopify customers are read since your start date
- Anyone Constant Contact already has is dropped, whatever their status
- You see the customers and target list and confirm first
- Each contact is created once and checked afterwards

**Objective:** Find Shopify customers created on or after `{since-date}` who accept email marketing but have no Constant Contact contact, and, after the user confirms, create them as contacts on the Constant Contact list `{list-id}`.
**Step 1: Choose the list**
If `{list-id}` is blank, call `constant-contact-get-contact-list`, show the lists (name, list-id, active-members) and ask which one to use. Do not continue until the user picks one. If it is given, call `constant-contact-get-contact-list` with `list-id` set to it to confirm it exists.
**Step 2: Collect the candidates in Shopify**
Call `shopify-get-customer` with `created-at.from` set to `{since-date}` and `max-records` 200. Keep only customers whose accepts-marketing is true and whose email is not blank.
**Step 3: Remove the ones Constant Contact already has**
For each candidate, call `constant-contact-get-contact` with `email-address` set to their email. Drop anyone who already exists, whatever their permission-to-send. Never re-subscribe someone who is unsubscribed in Constant Contact.
**Step 4: Confirm**
Show the remaining customers as a table (first name, last name, email, Shopify created-at) and the list they will be added to. Ask the user to confirm, and ask whether these customers opted in to email directly (permission-to-send explicit) or not (implicit). Default to implicit. Do not write anything until the user confirms.
**Step 5: Create the contacts**
For each confirmed customer, call `constant-contact-add-contact` once with `email`, `first-name`, `last-name`, `list-id` and `permission-to-send`. Then call `constant-contact-get-contact` with their email to confirm the contact exists.
**Step 6: Report**
Counts of candidates, already in Constant Contact, created and failed, then the failures with the error text.
**Rules & Guidelines:**
* `shopify-get-customer` is on the shopify server. `constant-contact-get-contact-list`, `constant-contact-get-contact` and `constant-contact-add-contact` are on the constant-contact server.
* `constant-contact-add-contact` is the only write tool this prompt may call, once per confirmed customer, and only after Step 4.
* Do NOT call `constant-contact-update-contact`, `constant-contact-add-contact-list`, `shopify-update-customer` or any other Shopify write tool.
**Validation:**
* If there are no candidates after Step 3, say everyone is already in Constant Contact and stop.
* If one create fails, record it and carry on with the rest. Do not retry it.
* If 200 Shopify customers come back, say so and suggest a later `{since-date}` for the next run.Who it's for
