Available Operations

Copy

The examples below show one or two of the available connector operations in use.

Please see the Full Operations Reference at the end of this page for details on all available operations for this connector.

Example Usages

Copy

These two short tutorials will demonstrate how to use both the Create list and List lists operations.

1 - Create List

Copy

First to note is that there are two types of lists that can be created:

1. Natural list

2. Smart list

Natural Lists are a main repository for your users who are typically added to these lists deliberately upon acquisition, on your import from another system. They can also be added through one-time Audience Builder queries with users sourced from existing Natural Lists.

A Smart List is a dynamic list that updates its user membership in real time, based on any criteria that you set in Audience Builder or through the API itself. Each Smart List exists as a 'Query', dynamically including or excluding users when they meet or fail to meet the list’s criteria.

The criteria array contains a type of matching 'to do' and determines what other query parameters need to be provided. Please check the API docs to see which 'other fields are required' when choosing a certain criteria value from the 'Criteria' dropdown.

Wherever the 'Timerange' parameter is required, it uses the 'Value' field to include more information about what time range to query for. Please check the API docs for the 'Value' date types for each 'Timerange' parameter value.

To Create a list:

Copy

Choose the 'Create list' operation in the right hand input panel and select either 'Natural list' or 'Smart list'.

Populate the input fields as required then press the 'Run workflow' button.

Note: when choosing to create either a 'primary list' or a 'non-primary list' the UI of Sailthru has a bit of a delay and it will take a few seconds to update the type of the list.

This operation should result in creating a new list.

After clicking on 'Run Workflow', use the 'Debug' tab to inspect your results.

2 - List lists

Copy

There are two ways a person can decide to retrieve their lists, either all at once, or singularily by name. In both cases you should be able to extract relevant vairables should you so wish.

To retrieve all the lists at once:

Copy

Select the 'List lists' operation in theright hand input panel, then press 'Run workflow'.

To retrieve a singular list by name:

Copy

Select the 'List lists' operation in the input panel. Add the relevant list name in the 'List name input field'. Click 'Run workflow' to retrive your list.

Retrieving variables:

Copy

In order to retrieve the variables from a list, add the value 1 in the 'Fields' -> 'Variables' input field:
