I have some docs for the API and they seem to work well but I still need details on canceling a siteowner. I have figured out that sending CANCELED as the STATUS will attempt to cancel the specific product but I do not have documentation on the CancellationReason values. Also need to know if cancelling all products then "cancels" the SO.

I'm sure someone from CTCT will get to this soon but in the mean time I have one suggestion. I don't think 0 for the email address link is going to work. Needs to be number related to an actual address, probably 1 as that is the address of the CTCT account. Also don't follow it with a / just end with the number. The final email address tag also needs to be the full link not just the address. As to the "missing" closing tag, the opening tag ending with a / closes it just like in XHTML. Shawn

Using the API I have created and deleleted a couple of dozen eMails for a given client. I'm still in development mode. When I log in to the bpconsole web site and then in to my clients portal I see one eMail, the one that I have currently active and all the deleted ones are not shown. However, when I click through to the client details from my console I see ALL e-mails ever created. Not only that but I could preview e-mails the client considers deleted. This strikes me as a bug. It does probably explain why when I try and reuse the name of a deleted eMail I get told it already exists even though it is no longer visible to the client. Comments or clarifications? Shawn

Be sure and put those loop counters in local scope. Needs to be done elsewhere in the collection as well or they step on each other. if ( structKeyExists (local.tempStruct, "ContactLists" )) { local.contactLists = []; for (local.i= 1 ; i <= arrayLen (local.tempStruct.ContactLists.ContactList); local.i++) local.contactLists[local.i] = local.tempStruct.ContactLists.ContactList[local.i].xmlAttributes.id; local.campaign[ 'contactLists' ] = local.contactLists; }

Added the following to CampaignsCollection.createCampaignStruct() Similar to code in ContactsCollection.createContactStruct(). This code is CF9 and above I believe, see the contacts example for a backwards compatible version if needed. if(structKeyExists(local.tempStruct, "ContactLists")) { local.contactLists = []; for(i=1; i <= arrayLen(local.tempStruct.ContactLists.ContactList); i++) { local.contactLists[i] = local.tempStruct.ContactLists.ContactList[i].xmlAttributes.id; } local.campaign['contactLists'] = local.contactLists; }

I have successfully used the API to associate a LIST with a CAMPAIGN but when I retrieve the CAMPAIGN the CONTACTLISTS array is empty. Is there some other method of retrieving the LISTS associated with a CAMPAIGN?

Thanks, that is what I had surmised and it makes total sense. As long as my API calls reflect the last status set I'm fine. Shawn

At the moment I'm trying to flip them back and forth between active and removed for a given list. It seems to be working but the portal UI seems to be slow to see the updates. Not important now that I have figured that out.

Further investigation makes it seem like the real problem is that the BP UI is slow to catch up with changes made via the API. I am now getting consistent results from the API but they are not refleceted in the contact UI.

It appears that ANY update to a contact via the API sets their status to active. I have tried this with a loaded <ContactList> and with an empty <ContactList> and regardless the contact is set to active. I have changed the status to removed via the console then run this and it goes back to active. I doubt it makes a difference but I'm using Coldfusion. <?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>

Excellent, that fixed all of the vague error messages and I hit a few others that were fairly easy to figure out. I'd have to say the CF sample code is lacking.

I've been using the Coldfusion sample code and it didn't include the <link> elements when it built the XML. I've updated it to handle that. Still no joy.

I've stripped out everything I thought might be contributing to the problem and still can't get it to post. I am trying to create a campaign for a managed partner. <?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>

While working on an interface that uses the provisionsing API I am creating accounts in order to be sure all is good. When I'm done working on this I want to remove those accounts and I don't see a method for doing that. In order to insure I'm not billed for them to I have to move any contacts those accounts have to a do not mail list and that will prevent charges? It would be nice to at least be able to hide them so they aren't cluttering up the console.

Where is the count exposed? I have been working with the list API today and while some of the Coldfusion example code references a count I don't see it in the XML response for the list.
