WSMailUpImport.NewImportProcess

NewImportProcess prepares an import process but it does not start it. You can use StartProcess method to make it start by specifying idProcess value that is returned by NewImportProcess.

Please note that you cannot activate more than one import process at the same time, however you can prepare many import processes with NewImportProcess and then call StartImportProcesses method that starts all of them in a sequential manner.

Method parameters

NewImportProcess(int idList, int listGUID, idGroup, string xmlDoc, string idGroups, int importType,
int mobileInputType, bool asPending, bool ConfirmEmail, bool asOptOut, bool forceOptIn,
bool replaceGroups, int idConfirmNL)

Creates a new import process for the contacts listed in the xmlFeed.

• idList: list identifier
• listGuid: GUID of the list
• xmlDoc: an XML string containing the contacts to be imported (see paragraph "XML feed" below)
• idGroups: group identifiers separated by comma (more than a group for each list is possible)
• importType: import type (default value=3)
• mobileInputType: mobile number input type ((see paragraph "XML feed" below)
  • 1= include international code
  • 2= international code and phone number in two different fields
• asPending: subscribes users as pending, if true (default value=false)
• ConfirmEmail: sends confirmation request email (default value=false)
• asOptOut: imports users as unsubscribed (default value=false)
• forceOptIn: forces subscription of users (default value=false)
• replaceGroups: replaces groups (default value=false)
• idConfirmNL: confirmation newsletter ID (default value=0, confirmation request created automatically)
  
  

If the import process is created successfully, then an "idProcess" value identifying it is returned; if not, a ReturnCode is returned.

Please refer to WSMailUpImport.StartImportProcesses for details about allowed data format of each parameter. In particular, please pay attention to the constraints that are described "XML structure" in section for xmlDoc parameter.
