Hello MeganL78,
Thank you for reaching out to Constant Contact API Developer Support. My team is here to assist outside software developers with questions about building into Constant Contact's API.

One potential workaround for your use case when a new contact is created would be to utilize the Automation Path Builder feature. This feature would need to be configured entirely via the UI, however, it would allow for newly added contacts to be automatically sent an email or series of emails created via the UI with a customizable trigger and timing. It also allows for the content of the emails to be edited via the same drag and drop editor interface available via the UI as needed. Below I’m including a support article on this feature.
