With contact engagement becoming more and more important, we wanted to revisit how to effectively clean non-engaged contacts from your account.

Adding New Contacts Using the API

It's sad, but true. Occassionally, there are times when a contact may no longer want to receive your messages. Bronto handles these "unsubscribes" for you, but if you are using the Bronto API, you may need to transfer this information to your other systems for reference. You can do this using the readContacts function.
