For marketers who want a contact's details changed safely and compliantly, by asking their AI assistant.

Connect Constant Contact, pick your AI tool and paste the prompt.
The problem
Quick contact edits overwrite the wrong fields
Updating a Constant Contact contact looks simple, but a new email may belong to another contact, a new phone replaces every number on file and changing permission for an unsubscribe breaks the rules. Hurried edits overwrite fields nobody meant to touch.
Without PopdockAI
- Open the contact and edit fields by hand
- Miss that the new email is already taken
- Replace every phone number by accident
- Change permission for someone who unsubscribed
With PopdockAI
- Your request is mapped to fields, with limits stated plainly
- A new email is checked against existing contacts
- Phone and permission rules are explained or enforced
- Only confirmed fields change, then values are read back
The prompt
Use this prompt
Copy it into any AI tool connected to PopdockAI. Swap the values in braces for your own.
**Objective:** Update the contact with the email address `{email-address}` with these changes: `{changes}`.
**Step 1: Find the contact**
Call `constant-contact-get-contact` with `email-address` set to `{email-address}`. If nothing comes back, say no contact has that address and stop. Keep the contact-id.
**Step 2: Work out the change**
Map `{changes}` onto the fields `constant-contact-update-contact` accepts: first-name, last-name, email, phone, job-title, company-name, permission-to-send. If a requested change is not one of these (an address, a tag, a list), say these tools cannot change it and leave it out.
* A new email: first call `constant-contact-get-contact` with the new address. If another contact already has it, stop and report the clash.
* Phone: the update replaces all of the contact's phone numbers; say so.
* permission-to-send: if the contact is currently unsubscribed, refuse to change it. Only set explicit when the user states the contact opted in.
**Step 3: Confirm**
Show a table of each changing field: current value, new value. Ask the user to confirm. Do not proceed without an explicit yes.
**Step 4: Update**
Call `constant-contact-update-contact` exactly once with the contact-id and only the changed fields. Then call `constant-contact-get-contact` with the contact-id and show the stored values to confirm.
**Rules & Guidelines:**
* `constant-contact-update-contact` is the only write tool this prompt may call. Do not call `constant-contact-add-contact` or `constant-contact-add-contact-note`.
* Leave fields the user did not mention out of the call, so they keep their values.
**Validation:**
* If `{changes}` is unclear, ask what should change and stop.Who it's for
