Email notification after ListCreate

Ben Jaeger

Hello everybody,

I'm currently implementing your Messaging API
to my application just to use the ListCreate Request. I need to upload address data into the system of easylink. Up to now this happened by sFTP-Fileupload and afterwards there was an email notification about the success to our admins.

Now by uploading the data with the ListCreate Request there is unfortunately no email notification. Is it possible to activate this emai notification - and if so, how?

Thank you very much!

With the best regards,

Ben J.

Unfortunately, the API-based list upload does not support this kind of email notification.

The reason the email happens with the SFTP-based upload is that that method uses a queued service. The SFTP "put" queues up a request, and then the internal software processes that request and updates the list.  As a result, the email is sent to inform the user of the success or failure of the upload.

With the API, the list upload is synchronous; when the API call completes, the data has been processed, so you have the full results then.  If you still need the email confirmation, you would need to generate it from your own application.
