    what are the default values of the "options" parameter?

    for example, dyn_fld is by default false or true?

  2. These are the default values for boolean types
    • dyn_fld = false
    • emb_img = false
    • link_track = true
    • track_http = true
    • track_https = true
    • track_mailto = true
    • track_ftp = true
    • track_news = true
    • conf_msg = false

    Default value for string types is an empty string.

    Why i get this error

    Fatal error: SOAP-ERROR: Encoding: object has no 'listID' property in /my/path/lib/mailUpWsSend.php on line 72

    when i call this function?

    $this->soapClient->createNewsletter(
    	$this->soapClient->loginFromId($this->loginData), 
    	1, // This should be listID
    	'subject', 
    	'HTML', 
    	"HTML Content..."
    );
  4. Hi, please have a look at PHP example that we have just provided. If you're experiencing other problems please contact MailUp support team. Regards

    Consider my situation,

    lets create a template into the mailup console. 

    "

    Test Email Template,

    Hi [firstname],

    This is the text message. [needsTobeReplaced] !!! 

    Ciao,

    [lastname]

    "

    now how could I replace this dynamic content [needsTobeReplaced] ??? 

    1. Hi, the answer depends on what you mean with "needs to be replaced"

      1. If you mean a content that is specific for each recipient you should reserve a personal data field ("campo dinamico") and update all your recipients with the proper value using MailUpImport methods. Then you'll be able to insert the corresponding personal data field placeholder inside the message body, as you are already doing with [lastname]
      2. If you mean using always the same email template and replace only a part depending on filters that apply to recipients' personal data you can do it in this way
        1. you can define a dynamic content ("contenuto dinamico") on MailUp console application and reference it in your message (e.g. "Hi [firstname], This is the text message.[*Cnt_11_dynamicexample*] !!! ...")
        2. dynamic content may consist of html body of another MailUp message, that replaces the placeholder when a specific filter is matched (see dynamic content and their filters in MailUp documentation)
      3. As an alternative approach, that fits only when the text to be replaced applies to all recipients, you can 
        1. save your template as a standard message, 
        2. call GetNewsletterCode to retreive template source code and replace [needsTobeReplaced] inside your application. 
        3. call CreateNewsletter passing the final code 

      Please note that you need Marketing+ option enabled to take advantage of dynamic content features

      Hope this helps,

      Best regards
