POST Add an Account Email Address

Changed on

Use this method to add a new email address to a Constant Contact account. If the email address you are adding already exists in the account the API will return a 409 conflict error.

When you add a new email address to an account, Constant Contact automatically sends an email to that address with a link to confirm it. After a user clicks that link, the account email status changes from UNCONFIRMED to CONFIRMED. You can use confirmed account email addresses in the email campaign from_email and reply_to_email headers. For more use case information, see Add an Account Email Address in the API guide.
