Hello,

Is there anyone to help us regarding this Schedulinh and Sending emails.

Hello,

The API that allows scheduling email campaigns to be sent must get prior approval.  Please email our AppConnect Team here, and they will contact you with the information on how to go forward.  Once you receive approval, we will also send you our documentation on how to do this with our API.

If you do need additional help, or have additional questions at that time, feel free to let us know.

Regards,

Hello Benjamin,

When we are going to schedule a campaign through PHP script, it is returning an error message as shown below:

Constant Contact HTTP Request Exception: HTTP Status 403 - Access is denied

So, would you please look into this matter that why we are getting this error message?

Does it need any prior approval from Constant Contact? If so, then could you ask to the AppConnect team for getting the approval to us?

Please find below our Partner API details:

Login/Partner Name: *REMOVED FOR SECURITY REASONS
API Key: *REMOVED FOR SECURITY REASONS

I am looking forward for your reply.

Thanks & Regards

Hello Nathan, I would like to apologize for the inconvenience that you are having. I took a look at your account and I do see that you have access to the scheduling API. However, I believe the problem you are running into is that you have two API keys, and one of them does not have access and one of them does. Because you have already gotten access on one API key for scheduling, I am going to set the other one up for scheduling as well, and you should stop having the issue you are running into. If you have any questions please let me know. Regards,

Hi,

I got the approval for Scheduling and sending email campaign using API, but when I tried it I am getting  ar error 'The requested URL returned error: 415’. Please let me know what I am missing.

Thanks,

This was handled via email support, but I wanted to point out the solution to the problem for anyone else who runs into this.

The problem was the URI that the request was being made to.  The resource in question did not support a POST request and was correctly returning a 415 error message.  Once we switched to the resource URI, the POST request was accepted and the email campaign was able to be scheduled.

Geting "Error 415: Media type not supported"

Hi,

There could be a couple of things going wrong, depending on the status of the campaign.  If the campaign is already in scheduled status, you can't POST to the campaign /schedules URI again, you would need to PUT to /schedules/schedule-id.  You can only POST to the /schedules URI if the campaign is in Draft or Sent status (not scheduled) and was first sent within 90 days of today if it is in sent status.

The 415 error is usually caused by the Content Type header.  For your request, make sure you're using a Content-Type of application/atom+xml.

HI FerozKhan,

I believe we solved this via email correspondence, but feel free to respond to this thread or my email if you have any questions.  The issue was that you had referenced "joesflowers", our dummy username, in one place in your XML request, and you had an issue with the ScheduledTime XML node.  It must be in the format below, with the month and day each having two digits:

<ScheduledTime>2013-04-03T20:03:35.000Z</ScheduledTime>
