I am using the "contains" method to see if a customer exists before inserting them into the recipient list. (documented here: https://world.episerver.com/documentation/developer-guides/campaign/SOAP-API/recipientwebservice/contains/)

The documentation says:

Return values

• true: Recipient already exists
• false: Recipient does not exist or an entry exists but the opt-in process has not been finished yet (i.e., the double opt-in link has not been clicked)

My question is, is there a way I can check if the recipient exists in even if the opt-in process has not been finished yet? I couldn't find this in the documentation.

Thanks
