Sample responses

SOAP response (immediate)

	<errorDescription></errorDescription>
	<listID>2</listID>
	<newsletterID>84</newsletterID>
	<deliveryID>179</deliveryID>
	<deliveryStatus>Sending in progress</deliveryStatus>

SOAP response (scheduled)

	<listID>2</listID>
	<newsletterID>84</newsletterID>
	<deliveryID>190</deliveryID>
	<deliveryStatus>Delivery scheduled at 04/09/2012 14:30:00  GMT 1</deliveryStatus>
</SendNewsletterResult>

Recipient fields (merge tags)

You can pass to the system values that will be saved in the recipient database as Recipient fields, and can be used in the message as merge tags (dynamic fields).

The number of elements indicated for each "campo<nn>" parameter must match the number of addresses in the "recipients" parameter.

For example, let's say the message is sent to three recipients. The recipients parameter will look as follows:

recipients=johnsmith@example.com;pauljohnson@example.com;anntaylor@example.com

Now let's assume that you want to pass to the system the recipients' first and last name as part of the API call. Let's also assume that those fields are saved in the first two Recipient fields (campo1 and campo2). The API call will have to include 3 items for each semi-colon separated array of values:

campo1=John;Paul;Ann
campo2=Smith;Johnson;Taylor

In case of empty personal data fields, the number of elements must always be the same. In the example below, empty values are passed for the second recipient:

campo1=John;;Ann
campo2=Smith;;Taylor
