API Q&A

When i create the contact via API, the email status is always Non-Maketable, and we need manually tick the box as the image below to change this status:

So, is there any way to change this status when we create the new contact?

Thanks so much

You may opt-in or mark a Contact as Marketable by including the following field in the request JSON with an opt-in reason. (This field is also shown in the complete request body sample.) The reason you provide here will help with compliance. Example reasons: “Customer opted-in through webform”, “Contact gave explicit permission.”

 "opt_in_reason": "your reason for opt-in"

Depends on the api version you’re using. REST is the method Tom mentions but if it’s the xml-rpc then there is an optin method you have to call.
