Hi,

Is there an endpoint to opt-in contacts? I tried it from the docs: [https://api.infusionsoft.com/crm/rest/v2/emailAddresses/{email}/status](https://api.infusionsoft.com/crm/rest/v2/emailAddresses/%7Bemail%7D/status), but keap didn’t allow. Opt-Out: Admin is not allowed to be changed via API?

Yes, the PATCH endpoint (`/crm/rest/v2/emailAddresses/{email}/status`), but even with that you cannot change a contact from Opt-Out (unsubscribed) back to Opt-In via API. Keap locks true unsubscribes for compliance reasons, so any attempt to override that status is blocked.
