How to Synchronize Zoho Campaigns Contacts (API) with an External Database?

I am using the Zoho Campaigns API (https://www.zoho.com/campaigns/help/developers/list-management.html) to manage user subscriptions, including subscribing and unsubscribing users from lists or topics. I need to know how to retrieve a comprehensive list of all users, along with the specific lists and topics they are subscribed to, so that I can synchronize Zoho Campaigns Contacts with my external database. However, I couldn't find any information in the documentation about this details.

Is this feature supported by the API?

This makes workflow allocation literally impossible while allocating potential to different members of the team. I have 15 licenses. Is there a way in which related alerts can be varied? In other words, is it possible to have different related alerts be triggered with different rule criteria. so if I say, if potential is 'x' then trigger related alert 'x' and if potential is 'y' then trigger related alert 'y' Thanks,
