If the user is opted out, the only way we will accept them back into the account is by their action. Using the updateContact method with the third parameter as "true" will indicate to the API that the user is taking this action, and not the account owner. The contact will likely receive a new welcome email as a result of this as well.

You'll just want to make sure that this isn't misused. US law requires that if a user unsubscribes from a list, they cannot be added back by the mailer, so any sort of sync or other account owner addition of contacts should not use the method in this way, but something like a signup form should.

Someone wrote a decent doc page on opting contacts back in, and autoresponder (welcome email) triggers:
