set email opt_in when creating contact bean

I am not sure but looking at the above I can suggest this.

 $contactbean->emailAddress->addAddress($args['Email']);

When adding an Email address  to Contact bean , you can make it opt_out .

So above can be changed to 

        $bean->emailAddress->addAddress($args['Email'], true, false, true, true);

Secondly.

this line of code looks wrong

$bean->getBeansByEmailAddress($args['Email']);

it must be returning an array of objects as Email address can be associated with more than one Bean.

Hope it helps.

Do you want all new email addresses to be set to opt_out = 1?

Because you can do so by simply setting the flag from the Admin panel, I believe this was added with v8 and the GDPR Data Privacy Module.

Admin->System Email Settings

hanks for this Francesca Shiekh we have set this now just also need a way to control by code

Hi Ashish Dwivedi, sorry i posted and didnt remove so test code, below was the newbean cotact script

        $contactbean                            = BeanFactory::newBean("Contacts");
        $contactbean->first_name                = $args['FirstName'];
        $contactbean->last_name                 = $args['LastName'];
        $contactbean->portaluser_c              = $args['Email'];
        $contactbean->primary_address_country   = $args['MailingCountry'];
        $contactbean->primary_address_state     = $args['MailingState'];
        $contactbean->agreed_to_pp_c            = $args['Privacy_Policy'];
        $contactbean->emailAddress->addAddress($args['Email'], true, true, true);
        $contactbean->save();

the 

$contactbean->emailAddress->addAddress($args['Email'], true, true, true);

this isnt creating an email in the email_address table or creating an email linked to the contact even though the contact is being created success fully.

Do you have to run this after $contactbean->save()?

I do the following for a lead w/ email address that is entered in code, see if it helps.

I built this several YEARS ago, so it could probably use some improvements, but it works.

$lead = BeanFactory::newBean('Leads');
//assign all the various lead field values
if(isset($input['first_name']) && !empty($input['first_name'])){
   $lead->first_name = $input['first_name'];
}
if(isset($input['last_name']) && !empty($input['last_name'])){
   $lead->last_name = $input['last_name'];
}
//and more...

//save the lead and get the id
$lead->save();
$lead_id = $lead->id;

//handle email address, note that we validate the address at the web form level, I add some extra checks to make sure there isn't a form out there that is passing an empty email address or no input for it. I also check lead_id out of an excess of caution

if(isset($input['email_address']) && !empty($input['email_address'])&& !empty($lead_id)){
   $sea = new SugarEmailAddress();
   //set your email address properties when you create the email address here
   $sea->addAddress($input['email_address'],true);
   // Link the email to the lead bean
   if(isset($sea)){
      $mod = $lead->module_dir;
      $sea->save($lead_id, $mod);
   }
}
