Since email statistics are aggregated per by message, be aware that when you reuse a previously sent message then it is likely that you will not be able to split the aggregated statistics. You can make a copy of the message instead of reusing it.

You can use CreateNewsletter to create a new email message, Clone Message to make a copy of an existing one and finally you can use SendNewsletter  to program an immediate or scheduled sending (at sending time you will be able to specify who will receive that campaign). For SMS you can use a similar approach with CreateSMS and SendSMS methods. Since SMS statistics are very poor when compared to email, there was no need to implement a "clone SMS" method

SOAP API + FTP

Email only. As an alternative to importing recipients and then calling SendNewsletter , method SendMessageNL allows a bulk import and the scheduling of a specified email message with a single operation. Refer to method documentation to learn more about this method and its known limitations

REST API

Email only. REST API offers the most complete suite form creating and managing an email message, but it still has some limitations about sending that are going to be removed in some of the next product releases:

  • scheduled sending is not yet supported (only immediate sending to all subscribers or to specified groups/recipients)
  • recipient selection by applying filters is not available
  • capability of immediate delivery (e.g. for confirmation messages) regardless what else is happening in the delivery queue at that time is not supported
FTP

SMS Only. FTP solution offers the capability to import (bulk) recipients and send them SMS messages that can be fully customized for each recipient. Refer to "Text message (SMS) sending from .CSV file" for more info.

A batch export can be configured to periodically export on a CSV file the statistics of email and/or SMS messages. Export frequency can be set from 1 hour to 2 weeks. Contact us to ask a batch export for your console account (non standard configurations may require an extra fee).

Frontend

Frontend pages provide a reduced version of some statistics pages of the console account, so that an external application can embed them. Available pages are similar to Summary Report and Opens report.
