Add recipients

In the case of already existing recipients the following behaviour behavior applies on subscriptionto subscriptions:

  • already subscribed remain subscribed
  • pending or unsubscribed on SMS channel do does not change their subscription status

The import process is able to can recognize existing recipients, using the mobile number as unique identifiers, and update them according to the given input details. It is possible to add some querystring query string parameters to specify some advanced behavior for the import process:

  • clearMissingOrEmptyFields: when set to "true", the import process clears on the MailUp field that is not specified or set as empty in the request body.
  • removeFromPrevGroups: when set to "true", first the import process removes the given recipients from any group they have been part of, then it adds them only to the group specified along with this request. This querystring query string parameter applies only to "Add to a MailUp group" cases.

Each object is composed of
the following fields:  

  • Description (String, optional)
  • Id (Integer, from 1 to 39)

Each array object is a personal data field.

If the recipient is already existing, the "fields" values can be used to update the recipient's personal data

Use this filter to extract only the SMS messages of list 1 that contain the word "promo" in their subject.
Strict filter matching with "==" instead of "Contains" is much more performing.

Paging and filtering (example)

Use this filter to extract the result of the latest message with ID=24 that was sent to number +3933512345678
GET /Console/Sms/24/Sendings/ReportDetails?filterby="Receiver=='3933512345678'"&orderby="SentDate+desc"&pageSize=1&pageNumber=0

If you used the sending method of the Transactional API for SMS you can also filter by the DeliveryId that was returned by that method.

GET /Console/Sms/24/Sendings/ReportDetails?DeliveryId=1648

In this case, paging and further filtering is not required , since no more than one result can be returned
