Create or update a contact
Creates a contact on a list by email, or updates the one with that email, with field values (keyed by field tag, like FirstName), tags to add (true) or remove (false), and a status.
Unsubscribe a contact
Marks the contact with an email address as unsubscribed on a list, so campaigns and automations to that list stop (an unknown email is added as unsubscribed).
Start an automation for a contact
Starts an automation whose trigger is "Started via API" for one contact (contact ID, or the MD5 hash of the lowercase email).
A person can approve first
Any write action can be set to wait for a person's approval before it runs, so an agent asks before it changes anything.
