Overview

MailUpSend allows you to replicate - outside of the MailUp admin console - many of the common tasks that are typically performed within the MailUp admin console.

The service is available at the following locations (the WebService is accessible through the SOAP protocol):

The corresponding WSDL is available at the following location:

MailUpSend vs. SMTP+

When it is better to use the MailUpSend Web service, and when does it make more sense to use SMTP+, MailUp's SMTP relay service? Here is a quick comparison.

MailUpSendSMTP+

Recommended when...

  • You need to replicate the most common functionality of the MailUp admin console, outside of MailUp (e.g. creating a message and sending it)
  • You want to import data and schedule a mailing with a single call: the CSV can contain hundreds of thousands of addresses
  • You wish to use dynamic tags, dynamic content, and other advanced features
  • You need to send a message to a specific Group or using specific filters

Recommended when...

  • You are sending transactional emails
  • You need to rapidly integrate an external system with MailUp
  • You want to use MailUp as a high-deliverability SMTP service (e.g. from desktop email clients like Outlook)
  • You need to send messages that are so personalized that it would be difficult to create them in MailUp, even using dynamic tags and content

SMTP+ and high volumes

Please note: if you need to send over 1 million emails per day with SMTP+, please contact us as a special setup may be required.

Authentication

"Login" method was removed from this document and is to be considered deprecated starting from MailUp release 7.4. It was replaced by LoginFromId method. If you are still using Login, don't worry: Login method is still available, even if not recommended for new integrations, and returns a response that is equal to the one that is returned by LoginFromId. Signature of old Login method is string Login(string user, string pwd, string url), where URL is the console URL without http://

LoginFromId method

This method is available only from MailUp release 7.4 and it's very similar to the previous one (Login) but it allows to specify an account ID instead of a console URL. The main benefit lies in the fact that a URL limits the use of the infrastructure, whereas a fixed reference like the console ID makes it easier to move the administration console on a higher-performing hardware, if needed. There would be little or no malfunction, as the customer's applications would keep on working after the operation.

  • string LoginFromId(string user, string pwd, int consoleId).
  • user: username to access the MailUp console
  • pwd: password to access the MailUp console
  • consoleId: console identifier. The console ID can be drawn from the username associated to the console, without the initial "m" (e.g. username: m1234 > console ID 1234). In case it is not possible to get the console ID from the username, please contact our support team


Note: the accessKey returned by the LoginFromId method in the MailUpSend Web Service can also be used for the MailUpReport and MailUpManage Web Services.

Logout method

This method has become useless, the accessKey remains active for 60 minutes
  • string Logout(string accessKey)
  • accessKey: access key obtained by calling the Login method
  • LogoutResult: string containing the outcome of the operation
