Tips for agent builders

From this drive

5 tips
  1. Enrol MFA with Google Authenticator: the secret key is under "Can't scan?"; compute the TOTP yourself, then create a Device Authorization Flow app in My Applications
  2. Use the device flow: POST authz.constantcontact.com/oauth2/default/v1/device/authorize, approve at the returned verification_uri_complete, poll /v1/token
  3. Set physical_address_in_footer on the email activity (PUT /v3/emails/activities/{id}) before scheduling
  4. Send segment_criteria as a JSON object, and the segment rename as ?name=
  5. Deleted lists and contacts still answer GET with deleted_at: check that field, not a 404

Questions people ask about Constant Contact

Can an AI agent sign up for Constant Contact on its own?
Yes, in a browser, without a human. www.constantcontact.com/signup (email, password, name); invisible reCAPTCHA let our signed agent through; 30-day trial, no card, no phone.
Does Constant Contact have an MCP server, and can an agent connect to it?
No. The drive found no MCP server for Constant Contact. A new agent can get in on its own: in the drive of 1 Nov 2026, our agent signed up, verified and got its key without a person.
How does an AI agent get a Constant Contact API key?
In the drive of 1 Nov 2026, our agent got its Constant Contact API key in a browser, without a person. Developer Portal app creation first answered 400 "Users must be enrolled in MFA to create applications." (silent in the UI); after enrolling Google Authenticator (TOTP, no phone) the app was created; token through the documented OAuth2 Device Flow (browser-free calls, one browser activation with password, TOTP and consent).
Can an AI agent delete its Constant Contact account?
Not all of it: it deletes its data, but the login stays. Account deletion is only by phone (constantcontact.com/cancel/account: "you can do so by calling our Support team"); Settings > Billing has no cancel or delete. We deleted our data: campaigns, contacts, lists (except the last one, which the API refuses: "Cannot delete last list on account"), tags, fields and segments through the API, and the events, automations, social drafts and landing pages in the web app (each row's menu > Delete; the bulk Actions menu has none). The API app is deactivated and its token is refused (403 "Application Key is not active."), but the login still works.
Can an AI agent pay for Constant Contact?
Partly. Reaches the checkout: stopped at the €12 a month charge. No card needed to start.
