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.
...
Parameter | |
---|---|
listsIDs | Mandatory - List identifiers. You can include multiple list IDs, separated by semicolons. Example: |
listsGUIDs string | 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 | Mandatory - If "true" it subscribes (or unsubscribes, if "asOptOut=true") also the recipients that were pending in specified MailUp list before import. Please note that the name of this parameter is misleading, see table in Best Practices for details (Default = false) |
ConfirmEmail boolean | Mandatory - If "true" sets subscription status of specified recipients as "pending" and sends them a confirmation email. Status change to "pending" and email sending applies to either brand new recipients or to recipients that were already subscribed or pending to the specified list before import. See table in Best Practices for details. |
asOptOut boolean | Mandatory - Imports recipients as "unsubscribed" when set to "true", regardless if they were previously subscribed into specified MailUp list. If you want to cancel subscription (i.e. unsubscribe) also for the recipients that were previously pending, you should set both "asOptOut=true" and "asPending=true". See table in Best Practices for details. (Default = false) |
forceOptIn boolean | Mandatory - If "true" itenables change of subscription status even if a recipient was "unsubscribed" before import. It can be used to force "subscribed" or "pending" status for previously unsubscribed recipients, please note that this status change does not apply when recipient was automatically unsubscribed due to hard bounce or complaints feedback loop. See table in Best Practices for details. (Default = false) |
replaceGroups boolean | Mandatory - 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 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.

<ws:listsIDs>1;2</ws:listsIDs> <ws:listsGUIDs>66af9900-7dd7-4cca-9125-beadaf3a3a59;0e591119-xxxx-yyyy-zzzz-6ac75384b564</ws:listsGUIDs> <ws:groupsIDs>;</ws:groupsIDs> |
Add recipients to multiple lists (one group per list)
In this example values are provided for both listsIDs
and listsGUIDs
parameters (mandatory fields). 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.

The XML structure for each recipient needs to be consistent for all subscribers, and include empty tags for required values that are empty. When specifying the phone number for a recipient, the structure of your XML must match the mobileInputType
parameter, where either the entire phone number is represented in a single attribute, or the prefix and number are represented in separate attributes.
For example, if the mobileInputType
parameter is set to 1
,use the following XML structure:
Code Block | ||
---|---|---|
| ||
<!--Option 1: number and prefix in a single field (use mobileInputType=1)--> <subscriber email="user@myprovider.com" Prefix="" Number="+0018889624587" Name=""> |
If the mobileInputType
parameter is set to 2
, use the following XML structure:
Code Block | ||
---|---|---|
| ||
<!--Option 2: number and prefix in separate fields (use mobileInputType=2)--> <subscriber email="user@myprovider.com" Prefix="+001" Number="8889624587" Name=""> |
In case you also need to specify personal data fields an example is provided below

You can use 0
and 1
in place of true
and false for boolean parameter values.

All field values are handled as strings, character '|' (pipe) is not allowed and may lead to "-402" error codes |
