Hello,
I am calling Infusionsoft API to update the contact data. I am trying to update the emailStatus and change it from “non-marketable” to “Un-Confirmed”. Can anyone please guide if this is possible to do that with the API call(and not manually). I saw the request of the API and it is not allowing to update. Please let me know if anyone has done this before.

Which API are you using REST or XML/RPC?

They are working on a solution to allow the api to do this but to my knowledge anyway, it hasn’t been enabled. They first need to allow it in a way that can be effectively monitored to prevent abuse otherwise someone could easily ruin it for everyone that using IBK/Keap

Not yet. They’ve never in the past allowed it because of the potential to abuse it by those that would use bad email marketing practices. So they’re looking for an accountable way to permit it.
