This is a repost. All replied were spam with nothing from CC.
Whenever I submit a bulk activity like:
activityType=SV_ADD
&data=Email+Address%0A
xxxx.xxx%40axline.com%0A
yyyy%40xe.com.cn
&lists=http%3A%2F%2Fapi.constantcontact.com%2Fws%2Fcustomers%2Fmyuser%2Flists%2F8
the activity completes as expected and all the desired emails get added to the list. (addresses sanitized, line feeds added for this post)
However, it always reports:
Number of Contacts: 3
Number of Errors: 1
Invalid Email Addresses: email address (invalid format)
It seems to be interpreting the first part of the data argument as an email address? I thought it was interpreted as field names.
As I said, everything expected happens but this error is annoying.
This is saying that there is an error because of the line breaks between %0A and the next email address. Since %0A is a new line character, the actual line break you have is causing a blank line between each email address. As a blank line is not a valid email address, it is throwing an error for each of those lines. If you were to remove those line breaks and post this as 1 string, those errors should disappear.
It is also going to throw an error for the actual &data=Email+Address, as we always assume if there is only one column that it is an email address. Unfortunately I am not seeing any way to avoid that particular error. If you were supplying another field of data such as first name, this would not cause an error.

The line breaks are not actually there so I'm not experiencing any of that kind of error.
Do I really need the field name line since I'm only supplying email address. If I dropped that line, would it work? Then, the error would not be present.

I do not believe that you will be able to get the activity to successfully be created without the line containing the field name, so I do not think that would be an option unfortunately.

The holidays have come and gone. For many seasonal businesses, this means the rush of shoppers has decreased as well. Instead of turning off the lights and waiting for spring, make your email marketi...
