Close opt-out gaps between Drip and Constant Contact
For email marketers running both platforms who want recent opt-outs checked in both directions, by asking their AI assistant.

Connect Drip, pick your AI tool and paste the prompt.
The problem
An opt out in one platform does not reach the other
Running Drip and Constant Contact side by side means an unsubscribe in one does not reach the other. Someone who opted out last week can still be mailed, and checking every opt out by hand is slow.
Without PopdockAI
- Export unsubscribes from Constant Contact
- Look each one up in Drip
- Do the same in reverse
- Mail someone who already opted out
With PopdockAI
- Constant Contact unsubscribes are checked in Drip
- Drip unsubscribes are checked in Constant Contact
- Two tables show who is out of step each way
- Matched on email only and nothing is changed
The prompt
Use this prompt
Copy it into any AI tool connected to PopdockAI. Swap the values in braces for your own.
**Objective:** List every person who opted out in one platform but can still be emailed by the other, looking back `{lookback-days}` days (default 30). Report only; change nothing.
**Step 1: Constant Contact opt-outs**
Call `constant-contact-get-campaign-unsubscribe` with `created-date.from` set to today minus the lookback. For each distinct `email-address`, call `drip-get-subscriber` with `email` set to that address. Keep the ones where Drip returns a person whose `status` is not unsubscribed. Record the Constant Contact `reason` and `created-date`.
**Step 2: Drip opt-outs**
Call `drip-get-subscriber` with `status` set to unsubscribed. Drip has no unsubscribe date filter, so use every result. For each `email`, call `constant-contact-get-contact` with `email-address` set to that address. Keep the ones where Constant Contact returns a contact whose `permission-to-send` is explicit or implicit.
**Step 3: Report**
Two tables:
1. **Unsubscribed in Constant Contact, still active in Drip:** email, Constant Contact unsubscribe date and reason, Drip `person-id`, Drip `status`.
2. **Unsubscribed in Drip, still mailable in Constant Contact:** email, Drip `person-id`, Constant Contact `contact-id`, `permission-to-send`.
Then one line each with the totals checked and the totals out of step. Suggest the `apply-constant-contact-opt-outs-to-drip` prompt for the first table.
**Rules & Guidelines:**
* `drip-get-subscriber` is on the drip server. `constant-contact-get-campaign-unsubscribe` and `constant-contact-get-contact` are on the constant-contact server.
* Match on email only, case-insensitively. Never match on name.
* This prompt is read-only. Do NOT call `drip-unsubscribe-subscriber`, `drip-update-subscriber` or `constant-contact-update-contact`, or any other action.
**Validation:**
* An address with no record in the other system is not out of step; count it as absent and leave it out of the tables.
* If a step returns nothing, say so for that direction and carry on with the other.
* If Step 2 returns more than 200 people, check the first 200, say how many were left unchecked, and suggest narrowing with a domain.Who it's for
