FTPZIP is a MailUp application that that allows to send an email message to a to a defined list of recipients by simply by simply uploading a ZIP archive to an to an FTP location.
This features is typically used by advanced users that have a need for configuring and sending a campaign without accessing the MailUp admin consoleweb application, and without using the MailUp APIs.
FTPZIP presents different operations mode. They are called:
- Full: Create and send a newsletter
- Send: Send a nevwletter
- Save Create a newsletter
Depending on what you are trying to accomplish, you can enclose in the ZIP archive different kinds of files such as:
- An xml file, called settings.xml. It will be used to determine the behavior of FTPZIP. For a general view of the XML structure see here).
- A CSV file containing recipients for the campaign (for a general description see here TBD).
- An email message in HTML format (for a general description see here TBD).
- Images that the HTML refers to (for a general description see here TBD).
- Attachments to be sent with the campaign, if any (for a general description see here TBD).
. Details of ZIP archive structure are here.
Based on the information enclosed in settings.xml, it is possible to drive the behavior of FTPZIP select the FTPZIP operations mode application and manage the following use cases:
- Send an already defined email message to a list of recipients (examples of settings.xml here (Massive Mailing) or /wiki/spaces/mailupapi/pages/36339811. Details about zip Detail of ZIP Examples of ZIP archive structure here).

- Using MailUp Massive Send (details about settings.xml here).

We recommend recommend use of Massive Send when when is required manage a single zip archive one at a time and the newsletter have to be sent to a great amount of subscribers.
We recommend use of Transactional Send when is required manage more than one zip archive at the same time and the newsletters have to be sent to a reduced of subscribers.
