I have yet to find an efficient way to assign topics to contacts in campaigns with the new system in place.  We have daily contacts added to our system through various forms and we have to manually go in and add topics to contacts before each email campaign is sent.

Is there a way to automate topics being added to contacts so that this is not a manual process?

Our company does not use a variety of topics (only 1) so it would be great is this feature could be turned off.  It is not a positive change for all of your clients I would assume.
