MailUp provides several ways to add a new subscriber and manage either data fields or subscription status. When developing generic modules that should adapt to different console accounts with different fields mapping, it is useful that you take advantage of a "retrieve fields" feature, which gets from MailUp field ID and field name and allows mapping between fields in the MailUp account and those in the integrated applicationIf you’re in the process of developing a generic application interacting with multiple accounts, it must be considered that personal data fields may differ from account to account.

We recommend to always make use of the “retrieve field names” feature, returning the actual field names and Id occurences for a particular admin console account. Those returned occurrences can be used to update personal data recipient fields afterwards.

HTTP GET/POST and subscription forms

Subscription forms are based on HTTP GET/POST methods, which allow subscription unsubscription, check subscription status and update for a single recipient. These methods support optin, confirmed optin, optout, fields update, unsubscription. Refer to this page if you want to build a custom subscription form using AJAX. Retrieve fields feature is not available with HTTP GET/POST.

Activation

You can enable HTTP GET/POST calls for any caller, you can restrict usage to a set of IPs or you can call a method that registers the caller IP in order to add it to the list of authorized IPs.

Single Update (server side1)

Updating a single recipient based on mapped data fields (e.g. first name, last name, etc) and returning a result

XmlUpdSubscriber.aspx

Retrieve subscription status for a specific customer and list (server side1)

This refers to determining whether a certain recipient is subscribed to a given list or not, so that the correct subscription preference can be shown in your application (or to update locally stored subscription preferences).

XmlChkSubscriber.aspx

(1) requires server side development, and in case of AJAX implementations, this operation cannot be done directly from a client page because cross domain requests are blocked by the "same origin policy"

REST API

Rest API is the most complete solution for managing a single subscriber (subscription status, group membership and personal data fields) and it is the only MailUp solution that allows removal of a single recipient from a group. Adding a new recipient is an asynchronous process(i.e. method response does not mean that the operation is completed, you could use a specific method to get the status of requested operation). Retreive fields feature is available with GET /Console/Recipient/DynamicFields

Webhooks

You can configure webhooks to enable a fast callback to your website when everytime a recipient changes the subscription status or any of the personal data fields (e.g. by accessing filling in and submitting to an autoprofile form). Callback method can be configured in order to include recipient's details as method parameter. Webhooks are managed by a worker process that is like a "frequent cron": you may experience some minutes of delay between the action and the corresponding callback. Bounces cannot be notified through webhooks.

SOAP API

You can extend the use of StartImportProcess method of MailUpImport SOAP API, that is designed for bulk import, to work with a single recipient. This method supports allows optin, confirmed optin, forced optin, optout, fields update, unsubscription. Adding or updating a recipient with SOAP API is an asynchronous process (i.e. method response does not mean that the operation is completed, you could use a specific method to get the status of requested operation). Method MailUpSend.GetFields can be used to retreive field names.

...

You may need to transfer a set of recipients, eventually possibly with their personal data, from your application to MailUp; or viceversa. Solutions that work well with a single recipient may not be suitable for big numbers amounts of recipients, in this case bulk solutions are neededrequired.

When defining your plannin a synchronization strategy approach you must take care about how unsubscription is made. In particular, you should be aware that, when importing subscribers that are already present and unsubscribed in specified MailUp list, unsubscription status is not changed, except for the cases in which you deliberately set an API option that forces subscription.

  • If unsubscription is natively managed by MailUp with via the "Unsubscribe" link normally nested in the email footer (that's the default case), forcing subscription should be consider considered only when an unsubscribed recipient specificly asks to be subscribed again
  • If unsubscription is managed by an external system outside MailUp (i.e the "Unsubscribe" link in email footer leads to an external site) then the external application is the runs as "master" database and you should consider to force subscription whenever you import recipients.

You can request this feature to

Data transfer is transmission does not take place in real time: it is usually configured as on a daily or weekly basis, but for specific cases even hourly data transfer schedule can be doneconsidered )

FTP based integrations can also be customized to import external campaign codes ( meant as customer’s application internal campaign or recipient identities )   without using personal data fields and to export email statistics with their reference to the external campaign code. This feature is not available with MailUp web services. More on this.

SOAP API

You can use run MailUpImport SOAP API for an immediate import of recipients. In particular, you can use StartImportProcesses method, eventually optionally combined with NewImportProcess if the number amount of recipient is higher more than 5000. These methods also allow a batch import as "pending", and in this case, with the confirmation email that has to be manually sent using the admin console account. SOAP API is not bidirectional, so you cannot use it to export recipients from MailUp to your application.

SOAP API + FTP

You can get the best of FTP and SOAP API by using SendMessageNL API method, which performs scheduled sending of a message to a set of recipients that are listed on a file included in the FTP import file previously processed (message ID and filename are passed as method parameter). In this case you have to transfer the file to MailUp before calling the method. Export of subscribed and unsubscribed recipients can be done with an FTP based integration.

REST API

Rest API allows immediate and bidirectional import and export of recipients. Due to restriction on HTTP channel, no more than 7MB input files can be uploaded with a single import. For the export of recipients the paging feature is recommended to keep control on maximum size of tranferred transferred data. REST API is the only MailUp solution that allows removal of a single recipient from a group.

Suppression lists are not natively supported by MailUp but you can create a dedicated group of recipients and exclude this group to  exclude from sending. In order to automate the process, you can contact MailUp support department and ask request for the configuration of an FTP based integration with a batch process that is configured to run runing hourly. This process has to be set to import in a new group (( where the destination group name = mathces the actual import file name) the recipents that are listed in the file to be imported. Then, when you access to MailUp admin console, you can schedule  or fire your campaign to be sent to "all subscribers except for the recipients that belong to a certain group". It should be easy for you to identify the right group because it has the name of the imported file plus a timestamp.

...

The use of dynamic fields (or dynamic tags) allows you to send individual email messages containing some personalized content. These messages - often transactional emails - typically consist of a template plus some personalized fields: for example, a password reminder, a form submission confirmation, an order confirmation, and so on. MailUp can manage the whole process automatically:
  • Messages are sent out very quickly, thanks due to a robust and scalable infrastructure that guarantees immediate sending (except in case of grey listing on destination servers). 
  • There are no bandwidth restrictions and a dedicated channel is used for sending these messages (no queue-related delay). 
  • Automatic Automated processes can be activated following actions that users (subscribe, open, click or personal field update ) that recipients might have performed.
  • NOTE: this channel cannot be used to send bulk email messages, but rather only for transactional emails. There are limitations in place that prevent system abuse (see API use policy).

titleClick here to expand and learn how you can send transactional messages using MailUp

MailUp can send transactional emails in three ways. Depending on the speed and on the amount of messages to be sent, you can choose between them stick to the single option or, even better, you can mix them to get the best result.

By using the method used to send confirmation messages

MailUp sends a confirmation message to subscribers through an automatic procedure. Subscription can take place in two ways:

The content of the subscription confirmation message can be editedmodified, so to make it correspond to the template of the message you want to send (there is only one confirmation message can be set for each list, but you can set up multiple lists within your MailUp account).

The confirmation message can be personalized with the recipient's personal data by using dynamic fields (up to 40 available when purchasing the Marketing+ package).

These emails confirmation messages can also contain a link triggering an action subsequent actions (opening of a messages page and automatic sending of another email), through the use of SUB link. A specific list can be created for the purpose, and each list can have a different sender address. 

By using Web services

A web service allows the immediate sending of a single message. This procedure is much more flexible than the previous one, but it is paramount recommended to strictly follow the instructions provided in the section describing this function.

The WS_MailUpSend.SendSingleNewsletter allows to send an email message with the indication of subject, recipients and contents. Dynamic fields (i.e. placeholders that are replaced with recipient's personal data values before sending) are supported, while dynamic content is not supported.

This is the best choice for transactional messages that have to be delivered in few seconds (e.g. password reminder, account credentials after signup), but however this solution has some limitations (see API use policy and the box below). In many cases you can have a good trade-off by using either web services and SMTP relay service.

Note
When using SendSingleNewsletter(), the best practice is to use predefined messages with dynamic sections, and not to create a brand new newsletter for each call. In this case MailUp would keep on using space to store the new content, which can negatively affect performance for your MailUp account. If you are in need to send hundreds (or more) of fully personalized transactional messages and you cannot use a predefined message, please contact us. 
By using SMTP relay service

With SMTP+ feature, your application can take advantage of a high deliverability SMTP server provided by MailUp. No need of integration with MailUp API, all you need is a set of SMTP credentials. SMTP+ offers a scalable solution that is valid also for high volumes of transactional email messages to be sent. There is a couple of things to know: delivery time depends on the bandwidth agreed for that console account and dynamic fields are not supported. This is the best choice for big amounts of personalized messages that do not have to be delivered in few seconds.

 

Bulk email messages

This section describes the different ways through which MailUp can be used to send email messages to groups and lists of users without accessing the administration console. The methods described above can be used to send individual, personalized messages, such as transactional emails. However, if the goal is to send large amounts of messages or DEMs, the best practice to follow is described below.

Some possible scenarios are presented here - with the indication of the web services to be used - as examples of common scenarios. This is in no way an exhaustive overview of all the possible scenarios. 

Please note that these cases do not talk about authentication and authorization, you should refer to the specific documentation of each technical solutions for these details.

 

Expand
titleCase 1: email message and recipients exist in the MailUp admin console (click here to expand)

You may want to send a message to a group of users and both the message and the recipients list are already available in the MailUp console.

SOAP API
  1. If the message has to be sent to all the recipients in a list the suggested method is WS_MailUpSend.SendNewsletter. Parameters "send_to = ALL" , list ID, message ID and time and date of sending must be specified. Message and list IDs can be found at the page Settings > Codes Tables  in the MailUp console, or using GetLists() and GetNewsletters() methods.
  2. If the recipients are just belong to some groups in a list, when calling the SendNewsletter() method the group IDs must be specified as well.
  3. If the users share data that can be extracted using one of the MailUp filters (personal data, activity and geolocation filters, available in the Marketing+ package) when calling the SendNewsletter() method the filter to be applied must be indicated as well. Filters can be used in addition or as an alternative to groups. The great advantage of using them lies in the fact that all the users recipients matching a certain condition are automatically included in the filter results, whereas a user must be inserted into a group for group membership.

 

Note

It is imperative that you do not use SendSingleNewsletter() in place of SendNewsletter(): the first one has to be used only for transactional emails, as described above. Use of SendSingleNewsletter() for the purpose of sending bulk email messages will trigger a send block on your account and may lead to account termination.

REST API
  1. If the message has to be sent to all the recipients in a list you can call POST /Console/List/{id_List}/Email/{id_Message}/Send.
  2. If the message has to be sent to a group of a MailUp list you can call POST /Console/Group/{id_Group}/Email/{id_Message}/Send

 

Note

Message, group and list IDs can be found at the page Settings > Codes or they can be retrieved using API. Optionally, you can specify also sender name or sender email if you want to use for that message a sender that is different differs from the default sender of tha MailUp list. At the moment only immediate sending is available with REST API (i.e. you cannot schedule sending). More details are available in the documentation of MailUp REST API

Expand
titleCase 2: not all recipients exist in the MailUp admin console (click here to expand)

Similar to Case 1, but in this case a group of recipients has to be imported as well. Some of these recipients might be already subscribed in MailUp due to a previous signup to a newsletter, some others might be new subscribers. Here below some alternative solutions are listed, refer to Comparison Matrix to see how many recipients can be loaded with each solution.

SOAP API
  1. Through WS_MailUpImport methods a new temporary group is created (CreateGroup(groupName)) and a group of recipients is imported to it (StartImportProcess(groupID, recipients,…)). This operation may last several minutes, depending on how large the group is, and it can be monitored using GetProcessDetails(). Once the import is finishedhas completed, SendNewsletter(groupID) method can be used to perform the sending. At the end of the process the group which was created for the purpose must be deleted using DeleteGroup(). 

  2. The procedure above described here above is less effective when there are large amounts of data to be imported, so it may be useful to use an alternative procedure that provides for a "bulk" import from a file following an input via web service. SendMessageNL(fileName, listId, messageId, timeDateSending,…) method allows to schedule a sending for the desired time and date, then asynchronously executes the following operations:
    1. Creation of a temporary group named "Automatic NN", where NN is a progressive number
    2. Import to this group of the recipients indicated in the file
    3. Sending of the message at the scheduled time and date

Note

SendMessageNL is often the best option for a fast bulk import and sending but users should be aware of some known limitations

REST API

REST API supports only sending to a single group or to the whole list

  1. To import recipients into a group of a MailUp list you may use POST/Console/Group/{ID_GROUP}/Recipients, while POST /Console/List/{id_List}/Recipients can be used to simply import into a MailUp list without specifying a group. Use  POST  /Console/List/{ID_LIST}/Group  if you also need to create a new group. 
  2. Use the methods listed in Case #1 for sending email message with REST API
LIST+

List+ allows you to enclose a list of recipients to the message to be sent (by using a file named one2many.import) instead of sending to lists or groups that are already present in MailUp. Click here for more information about this feature

Expand
titleCase 3: creating and sending a message via the MailUp API (click here to expand)

In some cases it may be necessary to import into MailUp a message created using an external system.

SOAP API

The CreateNewsletters() method allows the creation of a new message where the parameter to be passed is the body of the message (html, text or URL that points to the html file).
It is also possible to use the SendNewsletterFast() method, which conveys to a single call the information that can be drawn from the calls to CreateNewsletters() and SendNewsletter() methods.

Note
  1. It is imperative very relevant that you do not use SendSingleNewsletter() in place of SendNewsletter(): the first one has to be used only for transactional emails, as described above. Use of SendSingleNewsletter() for the purpose of sending bulk email messages will trigger a send block on your account and may lead to account termination.
  2. Please take care when using Use methods that creates a new message on MailUp admin console sparingly (i.e. each call to CreateNewsletters and SendNewsletterFast,but also calls to SendSingleNewsletter when content is not based on existing message ID). The greater is the number of messages and the higher is the load burden on MailUp admin console, leading to slowering access time to web pages and response time of web services. Please use alternative solutions provided in this page or contact us if you have to make more than ten actions of this type per day
REST API

REST API provides more features than SOAP API about creation and editing of an email message. With REST you can fully handle message tags, images and attachments.

  1. To create a message use POST /Console/List/{id_List}/Email, passing message content as parameter. Check out this page to know more about the available options
  2. Use the methods listed in Case #1 for sending email message with REST API
LIST+

With List+ you can create an email message with your email client or your application and send it to a MailUp specific email address. Depending on the specified address, this action can lead to

  • save email message on to MailUp and send it to all the recipients of a MailUp list
  • save email message on to MailUp and send it to all the recipients of one or more groups in a MailUp list
  • save email message on to MailUp without sending it
  • save email message on to MailUp and send it to a recipient for test purposes

This solution is very powerful if you want to work outside the MailUp console account and it has some interesting additional features like automatic upload of images, support for dynamic fields and sender verification. In addition, List+ allows you to enclose a list of recipients (by using a file named one2many.import) instead of sending to existing lists or groups that are already present in MailUp.

SMTP+

With SMTP+ you can create email messages with your email client or your application and send them to the recipients through MailUp. In this case MailUp acts mainly as a high deliverability SMTP server, but it also provides important features like bounce management and statistics. The content of sent message is not saved on to MailUp and delivery speed depends on agreed bandwidth for your account.

Expand
titleCase 4: cloning a message to track separate mailings (click here to expand)

Most customers need to track campaign results. When the same message is sent more than once (three different times, to three different groups), statistics are accumulated and pertain to all mailings, not the three individual mailings. To get work around this issue, you can make a copy of a message by cloning it : once the copy has been created, the sending can be performed as described above as this is treated as a completely new mailing for a completely separate message (even if the actual message being sent is identical to another one)before sending. 

SOAP API

You can useusing the CloneMessage() method

REST API

You can use GET /Console/List/{id_List}/Email/{id_Message} to get message content and then you can need to create an identical message with POST /Console/List/{id_List}/Email

Expand
titleCase 5: massive sending of personalized messages via Web Services (click here to expand)

If you are in need to send a high number of personalized messages through the API, please contact us. We can create custom MailUp configurations for you that will address your needs. For example, we worked with a Web site that needed to send hundreds of thousands of personalized alerts on a daily basis, and needed to do so through the MailUp API. 

SOAP API, REST API and List+

You can create personalized sections within your email by means of Dynamic Content feature and MailUp filters. Dynamic Content is not available with email messages sent with HTTP GET/POST API, SendSingleNewsletter (SOAP API) and SMTP+

SMTP+

With SMTP+ you can create email messages with a fully personalized content that is specific varies for each recipient. Using your email client or your application you can send these messages to the recipients through MailUp. In this case MailUp acts mainly as a high deliverability SMTP server, but it also provides important features like bounce management and statistics. The content of sent message is not saved on MailUp and delivery speed depends on agreed bandwidth for your account.
