Adobe Campaign - Add to List Via API

Navigate:

If you’re reading this, you’re aware that Campaign’s official documentation can be a bit sparse on details sometimes. I’ve run into a very egregious example of this in the .Register() function for lists HERE

”takes XML recipientList” - wonderful, how helpful.

After an utter ton of fumbling around, I was able to get it to work with the following:


var listId = 11122223333 (obviously just get your list primary key)
var recipientId = 12345678 (get your recipient Id from whereever)

var listObj = NLWS.nmsGroup.load(listId);

listObj.Register(
<recipientList>
<data>
<recipient id={recipientId}>
</recipient>
</data>
</recipientList>
)

With custom fields - for example, a “registration date” field that records a timestamp, I was able to get this working with the following format:


var listId = 11122223333 (obviously just get your list primary key)
var recipientId = 12345678 (get your recipient Id from whereever)

var now = formatDate(getCurrentDate(),"%4Y/%2M/%2D %02H:%02N:%02S")

var listObj = NLWS.nmsGroup.load(listId);

listObj.Register(
<recipientList>
<data>
<recipient id={recipientId}>
<registerDate>{now}</registerDate>
</recipient>
</data>
</recipientList>
)

The <registerDate> name can be acquired from looking at the XML source of the target
