This method creates and automatically starts an import process for the contacts listed in the xmlDoc parameter. You can use this method instead of calling a sequence of NewImportProcess and StartProcess methods. StartImportProcesses can also be used to update fields of an existing contact. Please note that, while updating, empty parameters are handled as "do not update this field", not as "overwrite with an empty value".

Parameter | |
---|---|
listsIDs | Mandatory - List identifiers. You can include multiple list IDs, separated by semicolons. Example: |
listsGUIDs string | List Mandatory - List GUIDs. You can include multiple list GUIDs, separated by semicolons. Example: |
xmlDoc | When specified: An XML string containing the recipients to be imported to the specified lists and groups. In this case the method Does not import any pending lists that were previously submitted using NewImportProccess If not specified (NULL): method sequentially imports all pending XML structures that have been previously submitted using NewImportProccess. This option is available only starting from MailUp 8.2.1 or higher See "Best Practices" and "XML Structure" sections below for known restrictions, more information and examples. |
groupsIDs string | Mandatory - Group identifiers for each list, separated by semicolons. You can specify multiple groups for each list as well, separated by commas. Example: |
importType integer | Mandatory - Import type.
Any empty field is ignored if importType is equal to 1,2 or 3
Any empty field overwrites the value on MailUp if importType is equal to 4, 5 or 6
|
mobileInputType integer | Mandatory - Mobile number input type.
(See "XML Structure" section below for more information and examples.) |
asPending boolean | optional - Import recipients as "pending" when set to true. (Default = false) |
ConfirmEmail boolean | optional - Sends a confirmation request email when set to true. The system will automatically create the confirmation email based on a default template. (Default = false) |
asOptOut boolean | optional - Imports recipients as "unsubscribed" when set to true. (Default = false) |
forceOptIn boolean | optional - Imports recipients as "subscribed" when set to true. This will re-subscribe recipients that have previously unsubscribed. (Default = false) |
replaceGroups boolean | optional - Replace existing groups when set to true. The system will automatically remove previously subscribed groups and keep only the groups specified in the groupsIDs parameter.(Default = false) |

Lists and Groups
You must specify at least one of the either listIDs
or listsGUIDs
parameters. If you specify both fields, then the number of items in each parameter must match, and you must use semicolons to delineate empty values. We've provided examples below to help with understanding how to work with these parameters.
Add recipients to a single list (no groups)
In this example , we specify both the values are provided for both listsIDs
and the listsGUIDs
parameters parameters (mandatory fields). There are no groups, so we include an empty groupsIDs
tag.
...
Add recipients to a single list (single group)
In this example, we specify both the example values are provided for both listsIDs
and the listsGUIDs
parameters listsGUIDs
parameters (mandatory fields), and since there is a single group we include it in the groupsIDs
parameter.
...
Add recipients to a single list (multiple groups)
In this example , we specify only the listsGUIDs
parametervalues are provided for both listsIDs
and listsGUIDs
parameters (mandatory fields). There are multiple groups for this list, so we separate them with a comma in the groupsIDs
parameter.
...
Add recipients to multiple lists (no groups)
In this example, we specify both the example values are provided for both listsIDs
and the listsGUIDs
parameters (mandatory fields). Each Each of the parameters must have the same number of elements (separated by semi-colons), so since there are no groups for either list, we include a single semi-colon in the groupsIDs
parameter to denote that there are two elements.

Add recipients to multiple lists (one group per list)
In this example, we specify both the example values are provided for both listsIDs
and the listsGUIDs
parameters (mandatory fields). Each Each of the parameters must have the same number of elements (separated by semi-colons). In this case, we are also specifying group 22 for list 1, and group 13 for list 2.

Add recipients to multiple lists (multiple groups)
In this example, we specify both the example values are provided for both listsIDs
and the listsGUIDs
parameters (mandatory fields). The The first list (ID=1) has two groups (22,23), so we use a comma to separate them in the first element. We then use a semi-colon to denote the second element, since the groupsIDs, listsIDs and listsGUIDs parameters must all have the same number of elements
