  1. The external application requests account activation using TrialActivation method and specifying an email address that has already been confirmed (i.e. there is no need of an additional email that confirms that email address is valid)
  2. Activation starts and TrialActivationStatus method can be used to get activation status. When activation is in progress, TrialActivationStatus returns a value that is different than 2. While status is different than 2 the external application is not yet able to connect to the console account, the following strings could be displayed:
    1. Value = 3,4 or 6 => “An error happened, the activation will be managed directly by MailUp support”. This result rarely happened during maintenance activities, in which processing was suspended for about 2 hours and then restarted.
    2. Value = 5 or 7 => ”The trial activation is in progress, you’ll receive the account credential soon.”
  3. When activation is completed you’ll receive MailUp account credentials in your inbox and, at the same time,  TrialActivationStatus returns 2.
  4. At this point the MailUp account is available and received credentials can be inserted into the external application to perform authentication on the newly activated account

titleIMPORTANT

Access to the resources (lists, messages, subscribers) of newly activated account requires an authentication and authorization process that is different than what is working for "trial activation methods": it needs OAuth2 with a token that has to be periodically refreshed when HTTP 401 error is returned. Please refer to "Samples and Wrappers" if you need a working example of an application that properly uses refresh token to access to MailUp resources.
