Instructions

Side effect: creates a billable audience under the Mailchimp plan. Mailchimp requires all contact fields (company, address, city, state, zip, country) and CAN-SPAM-compliant permission reminder text. Use update_audience to modify later, delete_audience for cleanup, or list_audiences to verify creation.
