Introduction

This documentation will help you to understand and use the Inxmail Professional REST API. In this introductory chapter you will get a high level overview of the Inxmail Professional ecosystem and you will learn how to use this documentation.

About Inxmail Professional

This chapter will introduce you to Inxmail Professional and will give you an overview of the basic concepts in use. You will also learn which kinds of systems are integrated with Inxmail Professional and which workflows this API provides as of today.

Inxmail Professional in a nutshell

Inxmail Professional is an email marketing solution developed by Inxmail GmbH.

The purpose of Inxmail Professional is to send highly personalized emails to recipients by providing the ability to enrich the recipient meta data with custom data like gender, interests, date of birth or pretty much anything you can imagine.

Using this meta data, you can personalize the mailing content in various ways, including text fragments bound to certain conditions or completely different content provided by third party systems using a feature called content include.

It is also possible to use the data to build target groups, thus giving you the ability to send completely different mailings to different target groups, hence further improving the relevance of the content to the recipient.

Inxmail Professional uses a mailing list based approach to organize recipients. A mailing list is a subset of the recipients known to the system to whom you want to send a specific mailing.

Once you have created a mailing, there are various modes of dispatch available:

  • Start the dispatch immediately

  • Schedule the mailing to be dispatched at a certain point in time

  • Create a trigger mailing which is dispatched in correspondence to an event, like the recipients birthday

When using our hosted solution, the emails are dispatched via our white listed mail servers to guarantee as much visibility to the recipient as possible.

After the mailing has been sent to the recipients, you might be interested in its performance. Inxmail Professional provides you with various performance indicators out of the box, including:

  • The opening rate: tells you how many recipients opened the email

  • The click rate: tells you how many recipients clicked on a (certain) link in the email

  • The click to opening rate: tells you how many of the recipients who opened the email, also clicked a link in the email

In addition, Inxmail Professional keeps track of recipient unsubscriptions from the mailing list in direct response to the mailing. These unsubscriptions are stored per mailing list and will automatically prohibit any dispatch to the recipient from that list.

A related topic, bounces, are also covered by Inxmail Professional. Bounces occur when an email can not be forwarded to a recipient by a mail daemon. In this case, the daemon responds with an auto generated message, called a bounce.

Inxmail Professional distinguishes hard and soft bounces. A hard bounce is a permanent error, like an email address not known to the target SMTP server. A soft bounce, on the other hand, is a temporary issue, like a mail box which exceeded the quota. Inxmail Professional automatically excludes any recipient for whom a hard bounce was received from any further dispatch, irrespective of the mailing list.

With all these features, Inxmail Professional is your one-stop solution for relevant and compliant email marketing.

For more information on Inxmail Professional, please refer to the Inxmail Professional User Manual, which is downloadable through the Inxmail Community website.

Integrating third party products

We believe that integration with third party products is a very important asset and therefore strive for easy integration with all kinds of systems. Inxmail Professional already has a portfolio of many integrations to various kinds of third party products, including:

  • Online Shops

  • Customer Relationship Management (CRM) systems

  • Enterprise Resource Planning (ERP) systems

  • Web tracking systems

  • Content management systems

  • Social media platforms

While most of these integrations are written using the Inxmail Professional SOAP/Hessian API, we aim to provide you with this powerful new REST API to ease the creation of integrations with all kinds of third party systems and custom tools.

Basic workflows when using the REST API

The most basic workflow is synching recipients with a third party system. This is the case when Inxmail Professional is not the primary system to store and organize customer information but rather the tool for designing and dispatching email marketing campaigns.

For more information on how to synch recipients between Inxmail Professional and third party systems, see chapter Recipient Import.

How to use this documentation

This documentation is split up into two major parts. First there is a general section, explaining the basic concepts of the REST API, like base URL, status codes and more. After that you will find the second major part, which consists of multiple chapters each explaining one of the Inxmail Professional entities accessible through the REST API and the actions which can be performed on them.

Each of these chapters is self contained and encompasses all the information regarding the entity described. The entity chapters adhere to the following structure:

  • Description of the domain concept the entity represents

  • All possible actions available on the entity

    • Pattern for the request (HTTP Verb + URL Pattern)

    • Description of what the action does

    • Description of the path and query parameters available

    • For POST, PUT and PATCH Requests: Description of the request entity structure

    • Description of the response entity structure

    • Description of the available links (except self, next or previous links, which are already described in chapter Hypermedia)

    • Sample request

    • Sample response

While we aim to explain entities to a point a developer can use the REST API productively, further information about entities can be found in the Inxmail Professional User Manual, which is downloadable through the Inxmail Community website.

Downward compatibility guidelines

Introduction

The Inxmail Professional REST API makes it possible to control and use large parts of the Inxmail Professional range of functions via REST API. Since Inxmail Professional is constantly evolving, permanent static equilibrium of the whole REST API cannot be guaranteed. Therefore, the REST API Downward Compatibility Guidelines should ensure the greatest possible predictability when developing integrations.

REST API Versions

Inxmail always offers just one current, stable REST API version. The various REST API versions differ through the version number in the URL, for example,

/v1/endpoint

Duration of REST API version maintenance

Inxmail seeks long-term collaboration with integrators and is aware of the time and efforts that may be involved when REST APIs change. Taking stability, cost effectiveness, frequency of use and innovation into consideration, decisions are made regularly regarding supported REST API versions. Changes to the maintenance status of a REST API version will be communicated in good time. This means that Inxmail is unable to make any firm promises to maintain older REST API versions.

Table 1. Current maintenance status for each REST API version

Version

Maintenance

/v1/

Stable - is being developed, maintained and supported

Current REST API Version - Guarantees and possible changes

For the current REST API version, which is identified as stable, the following rules will be followed during further development and serve REST API users and integrators as guidelines for the most compatible and future-proof use of the REST API. The possible functional changes in the REST API version as listed should not therefore cause any problems in integrations.

Table 2. Requests
Guaranteed functionality Possible changes in functionality
  • Existing request parameters and their meaning

  • Existing parameter values of ‘enumerated sets of values’ and meaning of values

  • Validations do not become stricter

  • Inxmail may add optional request parameters

  • Inxmail may add new values for existing parameters (extension of ‘enumerated sets of values’)

  • Inxmail may add optional HTTP request headers

  • Inxmail may add new resources/endpoints

  • Inxmail may mark existing URLs of resources/endpoints as deprecated and redirect them to the new URL

  • Inxmail may add new supported media types

Table 3. Responses
Guaranteed functionality Possible changes in functionality
  • Existing response fields and their meaning

  • Meaning of existing values of ‘enumerated sets of values’

  • Inxmail may add new fields in responses

  • Inxmail may remove values for existing ‘enumerated sets of values’

  • Inxmail may add new values for existing ‘enumerated sets of values’ if this has been documented explicitly for a field

  • Inxmail may add optional HTTP request headers

  • Inxmail may add support for new additional transfer formats (for example, CSV) to existing resources, as long as this is requested explicitly in a request via the corresponding media type (for example: text/csv)

New REST API versions

Inxmail will be very conservative when it comes to assigning new REST API versions. The following changes to existing REST API functionality will result in a new REST API version.

Requests

  • Change to existing request parameters or their meaning

  • Change to existing parameter values of ‘enumerated sets of values’ or meaning of the values

  • Validations become stricter

Responses

  • Change to existing response fields or their meaning

  • Change to the meaning of existing values of ‘enumerated sets of values’

Fair use policy

Inxmail Professional REST API is not generally subject to any use restrictions provided there is fair use. If it is subject to highly intensive use, Inxmail reserves the right to agree a suitable usage rule for both sides.

By normal use of the REST API, Inxmail understands a use that does not exceed the standard rate limit of 600 requests per minute. If your application requires a higher limit, please contact us. In principle, an increase in the rate limit is possible.

General

This section describes general aspects of the Inxmail Professional REST API.

Base URL

All requests are scoped to a single Inxmail Professional customer. The name of the customer is specified as part of the base URL. All requests are performed via the secure HTTPS protocol.

Example URL

GET https://api.inxmail.com/{customer}/rest/v1
URL Parameters
customer

string (required) The name of the Inxmail Professional customer

Authentication

The Inxmail Professional REST API requires clients to authenticate themselves with credentials using HTTP Basic Authentication. The credentials consist of a client id and a secret, which can be supplied to the client software as username and password:

curl -u 'clientid:secret' -H 'Accept: application/hal+json' 'https://api.inxmail.com/customer/rest/v1'

Types of resources

Resources are probably the most important concept of RESTful APIs. A resource is basically anything worth addressing and is closely related to the concept of classes in object oriented programming. Every resource is identified by a URL.

We make use of three different resource types:

  • A root resource

  • Primary resources

  • Collection resources

Note
Terminology note: In the context of REST APIs, the term resource refers to an object which is addressed by a URL and lives on the server. There is no way to get a resource. When faced with a GET request on the URL addressing a resource, the server will return a representation of said resource, not the resource itself.
The root resource

The root resource is what you get when you request the API’s base URL. It is the entry point into the API, containing links to the subordinate resources which represent the different domain concepts of Inxmail Professional. We strongly recommend using these links to access other resources and refrain from bookmarking any URL other than the base URL. For more information on links, see section Hypermedia.

Primary resources

Primary resources identify a concrete object, like "the list with ID 3". They contain all relevant information on that object and may provide links to related resources.

Collection resources

Collection resources consist of a list of related resources, like "all mailing lists". To reduce the number of requests necessary to iterate over a collection, these items are embedded by default. When requesting a collection resource, you are presented with an embedded resource which contains a JSON array. For more information on embedded resources, see section Embedding.

The JSON array itself contains representations of the resources which are a part of this collection. The array may contain only a subset of the collection, depending on the total number of items in the collection. For more information on pagination and collection traversal, see section Pagination.

Each resource in a collection is presented in its default representation which is the same representation used when requesting the resource via its canonical URL (as a primary resource). In some cases this may have the effect of a differing structure between resources.

For example, the attributes collection may contain attribute resources with and without the maxLength field, depending on the type of the particular attribute.

Collection resources may provide additional filtering options which are applied using query parameters. The available filtering options are documented for each collection resource.

Some collection resources can be used to create new primary resources contained in the collection by sending a POST request to the collection. This is not supported by all collection resources, though.

Concept of operations

The RESTful API style is a great way to represent a domain model and allowing CRUD operations on all the available data, but is limited in representing very specific domain operations in an easy to use way.

To overcome this limitation this API additionally provides the ability to use commands in RPC style to trigger operations. To make it clear which parts of the API use the RPC style, all specific domain operations are located under the /operations/ endpoint.

Triggering operations using commands

Operation endpoints follow the following naming conventions: /operations/{resource-name}?command={command}. They are always triggered by invoking named commands using the POST method. Additional parameters for an operation can be provided in the request body.

The documentation for the available operations for a specific domain object is located in a separate operations section of each resource documentation.

Media Types

The Inxmail Professional REST API uses JSON as data format for requests and responses, in particular the HAL media type.

We make use of the following media types:

  • application/hal+json for common requests and responses.

  • application/problem+json for responses reporting error conditions, e.g. in case of input validation errors. For more information, see section Error response format.

  • application/merge-patch+json as the format used for PATCH requests, e.g. in the context of patching a recipient.

  • multipart/* is accepted for multipart requests that initiate the upload of files, e.g. in the context of a recipient import. Any multipart media type is accepted with multipart/form-data as the common choice and multipart/mixed being an arguable alternative.

  • text/csv for multipart request parts containing CSV data, e.g. in the context of a recipient import.

  • application/gzip for multipart request parts containing GZIP compressed data, e.g. in the context of a recipient import.

When making a request, we recommend setting the Accept header to application/hal+json,application/problem+json. While application/hal+json is sufficient to perform a successful request, there might be error conditions in which we use application/problem+json to convey details on the error. Do not set the Accept header to application/problem+json, as it will result in a 406 Not Acceptable error.

When doing a POST or PUT request, we recommend setting the Content-Type header to application/hal+json. If you experience technical problems using this content type, use application/json instead which is also accepted as a valid content type for request entities.

HAL is a hypermedia format which uses links to connect different resources and to provide ways for changing application state. For more information, see section Hypermedia.

Date/Time format and time zone

Date and time values are always exchanged in UTC+0 (also known as GMT or Zulu time) and ISO 8601 format. This is true for the values returned by this API as well as the values you provide when making requests.

Date/Time Format Example

Date with time

YYYY-MM-DD’T’HH:MM:SSZ

2016-02-04T10:30:12Z

Date only

YYYY-MM-DD

2016-02-04

Time only

HH:MM:SSZ

10:30:12Z

Remarks regarding time zones and daylight saving time (DST)

Terminology

Before diving into the specifics of Date/Time handling in this API, this section introduces the terminology used throughout the rest of this chapter. If you are already familiar with time zones, daylight saving time, UTC and related topics, you can skip this section.

Coordinated Universal Time (UTC)

The Coordinated Universal Time, or UTC for short, is the most widely used time standard used in the world. The standard itself is not relevant to understand this document. The important aspect is, that this API uses UTC to exchange date and time information.

UTC offset

UTC offsets are a means of communicating time across different time zones. The offset is appended to the string UTC, e.g. UTC+01:00 or UTC-09:30. For integer offsets, this form is often abbreviated to just the hour offset, e.g. UTC+1.

Time zone

You’re probably already familiar with the basic notion of time zones: The earth is divided into a number of more or less uniform time zones to coordinate local time with global time. Each time zone defines an offset with respect to UTC. In most cases, this value is an integer in the range from -12 to +14, with certain exceptions. Wikipedia provides a decent introduction into the topic.

Daylight Saving Time (DST)

Daylight saving time, or DST for short, is the practice of advancing clocks in the summer to postpone the sunset, while at the same time also postponing sunrise. It’s important to understand that DST is not used in all countries and countries may decide to stop using DST. The countries that do use DST, for the most part, advance clocks by exactly one hour. This is not the case for all countries, though.

ISO 8601

ISO 8601 specifies a standard format for communicating dates and times across different time zones. While the standard itself is not openly accessible, the relevant subset for this document is specified in RFC 3339.

General advice

As the handling of time zones and daylight saving time is a rather complex topic, we strongly recommend you use an existing library to work with the date/time information. ISO 8601 is supported by virtually any programming language, so there should be an appropriate library.

Date with time

If you only use this API to read and write values, you will never observe any time zone or daylight saving time (DST) offsets, as values have to be provided in UTC+0. The values you retrieve using this API will be the same ones you provided. This assumption is not correct, though, when you have to deal with values entered by Inxmail Professional users using the client application.

Date with time values entered using the client application are subject to time zone and daylight saving time (DST) offset adjustments. The determining factor is the time zone which is observed by the client application, both when writing values and when reading them. The DST offset is determined by two components:

  1. The DST offset of the time zone observed by the client application entering the value

  2. The date portion of the entered value

The time zone observed by the client determines:

  • if there is any DST offset at all

  • if so, what that offset is

  • at which date DST takes effect

  • at which date DST is suspended

Keep in mind that DST is not relevant in every time zone and the actual offset is not always one hour. Also, the date when DST takes effect varies.

For example, the time zone Europe/Berlin observes DST with an offset of one hour. Angola on the other hand does not observe DST while also using UTC+1 (West African Time). Lord Howe Island, Australia also observes DST but with an offset of half an hour. When DST is observed also varies, mainly due to different seasons depending on the hemisphere.

In conclusion: Whether a date with time value observes DST depends on whether DST is in effect at this specific date with regard to the time zone in use. The actual offset is also determined by the time zone. Whether the client was observing DST at the point at time of providing the value, is irrelevant.

Examples:

Using only this API

As stated before, if you only use this API to read and write values, you will never observe any offsets, as values have to be provided in UTC+0. However, be aware that date with time values entered using the Inxmail Professional client application are subject to adjustments.

The following examples clarify how a specific value entered using the client application will be rendered by this API.

Time zone Europe/Berlin

A date with time value of 01 February 2016 12:22:33 in the time zone Europe/Berlin will be rendered as 2016-02-01T11:22:33Z by this API, as the date portion is not observing DST in that time zone (UTC+1). A value of 01 August 2016 12:22:33 on the other hand will be rendered as 2016-08-01T10:22:33Z, as the date portion does observe DST (UTC+2).

Time zone Pacific/Honolulu

A date with time value of 01 February 2016 12:22:33 in the time zone Pacific/Honolulu will be rendered as 2016-02-01T22:22:33Z by this API. A value of 01 October 2016 12:22:33 will be rendered as 2016-10-01T22:22:33Z, as Hawaii does not observe DST.

Date only

Date only values are neither subject to time zone nor DST offset adjustments and are treated as-is by this API.

Time only

Time only values are also subject to time zone adjustments but do not consider DST offsets. This API will return time only values adjusted to time zone UTC+0.

Example:

The Inxmail Professional client application runs on a desktop machine in the time zone Europe/Berlin and is currently observing DST with an offset of one hour. If the user sets a time only attribute to 12:22:33, this API will return a value of 11:22:33Z, despite of the DST offset of the client host. The result is exactly the same if the desktop machine running the client does not observe DST.

Status Codes

The Inxmail Professional REST API uses a subset of the common HTTP Response Status Codes.

HTTP Verbs

Verb Description

GET

Used for retrieving resources. Read operation which doesn’t change any data.

POST

Used for creating resources by sending data to the server.

PUT

Used for replacing existing resources by sending data to the server. No resource will be created if there is no current representation available.

DELETE

Used for deleting existing resources. A successful request will result in a response of 204 No Content without a body.

PATCH

Used for replacing parts of an existing resource by sending data to the server. No resource will be created if there is no current representation available.

Error States

There are two main reasons an API call might fail:

  1. Due to a client error

  2. Due to a server error

Client errors

A client error is indicated by a status code of the 4xx series, in particular 400 Bad Request and 404 Not found. The reasons for a client error might be:

  1. Failing to provide credentials for authentication

  2. Providing incorrect credentials for authentication

  3. Accessing a non existent resource

  4. Using malformed path or query parameters

  5. Submitting a malformed JSON document

  6. Submitting a JSON document using incorrect data types

  7. Submitting a JSON document with validation errors

  8. Manipulating a locked resource

  9. Sending too many requests

Providing no authentication credentials whatsoever will result in 401 Unauthorized. Providing incorrect authentication credentials will result in 403 Forbidden. Accessing a non existent resource will result in 404 Not found. Sending too many requests will result in 429 Too many requests. All other mentioned error conditions will result in 400 Bad Request.

Server errors

A server error is indicated by a status code of the 5xx series, in particular 500 Internal Server Error which states that the server was unable to fulfill the request due to an internal problem.

Error response format

All error responses contain a body which provides additional information on the error condition. The format used to convey this information is application/problem+json which is formally specified by RFC 7807. In this context the body is called a problem document.

We use three slightly different formats of responses with different levels of detail for each of the following error categories:

  1. Well defined error conditions, e.g. 404 Not Found

  2. Wide ranging error classes, e.g. 400 Bad Request

  3. Validation errors

  4. Rate limiting errors

Well defined error conditions

In the case of a well defined error condition, there is no need to provide any additional information. Therefore, the problem document is rather concise.

Example error response for a well defined error condition

HTTP/1.1 404 Not Found
Content-Type: application/problem+json
Content-Length: 53

{
  "type" : "about:blank",
  "title" : "Not Found"
}
Wide ranging error classes

More general error conditions, like the aforementioned 400 Bad Request, are explained in more detail to give you a clue what the actual error was.

Example error response for a problem from a wide ranging error class

HTTP/1.1 400 Bad Request
Content-Type: application/problem+json
Content-Length: 275

{
  "type" : "type-mismatch",
  "title" : "a parameter had an incorrect type",
  "detail" : "provided value for parameter 'id' not supported.",
  "_links" : {
    "documentation" : {
      "href" : "https://apidocs.inxmail.com/xpro/rest/v1/problems/type-mismatch"
    }
  }
}

The type field contains a static ID of the error type which you can use to identify the issue at hand. The title field gives a short explanation of the error type while the detail field provides information on the actual error instance. The detail field is optional and may be omitted if there is no additional information to convey.

The response also contains a link to the documentation of the problem type where you can find more information on this type of error and suggestions on how to fix the issue.

The common problem types are documented in section Problem types.

Validation errors

The third class of problem is a validation error. This particular problem occurs if an entity provided in a POST or PUT request contains invalid data. In this case, the problem document contains an array with detailed information on the validation errors per field to aid you in constructing a valid entity.

Example error response for a validation error

HTTP/1.1 400 Bad Request
Content-Type: application/problem+json
Content-Length: 462

{
  "type" : "validation-error",
  "title" : "invalid request parameters",
  "generalErrors" : [ "this object was invalid" ],
  "invalidFields" : [ {
    "field" : "fieldName",
    "problem" : "this field's value was invalid"
  }, {
    "field" : "anotherFieldName",
    "problem" : "this field's value also was invalid"
  } ],
  "_links" : {
    "documentation" : {
      "href" : "https://apidocs.inxmail.com/xpro/rest/v1/problems/validation-error"
    }
  }
}
Rate limiting errors

Sending too many request will result in a 429 Too many requests response. In that case, the Retry-After header is set, showing the time in seconds until the next request is possible. RFC 7231

More information about rate limiting can be found in section Rate Limiting.

HTTP/1.1 429 Too Many Requests
Content-Type: application/problem+json
X-RateLimit-Limit: 600
X-RateLimit-Remaining: 0
X-RateLimit-Reset: 45
Retry-After: 45

{
  "type" : "about:blank",
  "title" : "Too Many Requests"
}

Problem types

Duplicate resource
Problem type

duplicate-resource

Status code

409 Conflict

Reasons

Indicates that a resource with the given name or other identifier already exists. This might be the case if:

  1. you tried POSTing a resource with a name or identifier which is already in use

  2. you made a PUT request to rename a resource to a name which is already in use

Remedy

Choose a different name which is not yet taken.

Example problem document
HTTP/1.1 409 Conflict
Content-Type: application/problem+json
Content-Length: 276

{
  "type" : "duplicate-resource",
  "title" : "resource already exists",
  "detail" : "A resource with the requested name already exists",
  "_links" : {
    "documentation" : {
      "href" : "https://apidocs.inxmail.com/xpro/rest/v1/problems/duplicate-resource"
    }
  }
}
Locked resource
Problem type

locked-resource

Status code

400 Bad Request

Reasons

Indicates that an operation on a resource failed because the resource is currently locked by another user. This might happen in response to a PUT or DELETE request.

Remedy

Wait for the resource to be unlocked. This might involve periodic retries or, if applicable, informing the user.

Example problem document
HTTP/1.1 400 Bad Request
Content-Type: application/problem+json
Content-Length: 220

{
  "type" : "locked-resource",
  "title" : "the resource is locked by an other user",
  "_links" : {
    "documentation" : {
      "href" : "https://apidocs.inxmail.com/xpro/rest/v1/problems/locked-resource"
    }
  }
}
Invalid parameter value
Problem type

invalid-parameter-value

Status code

400 Bad Request

Reasons

Indicates that you provided an invalid value for a request parameter (i.e. query parameter). Common cases include:

  • Providing a non existent list as target list for a recipient import

  • Providing a list of the wrong type as target list for a recipient import

  • Providing a non existent test profile for rendering the content of a mailing

Remedy

Check all request parameters for validity. The documentation of the request parameters should contain information on the valid values.

In case you receive this problem document in response to an attempt to start a recipient import, check the listId parameter. The provided ID must correspond with an existing list of type STANDARD.

In case you receive this problem document in response to an attempt to render the content of a mailing, check the testProfileId parameter. The provided ID must correspond with an existing test profile.

Example problem document
HTTP/1.1 400 Bad Request
Content-Type: application/problem+json
Content-Length: 278

{
  "type" : "invalid-parameter-value",
  "title" : "invalid parameter value",
  "detail" : "no object was found for the referenced id",
  "_links" : {
    "documentation" : {
      "href" : "https://apidocs.inxmail.com/xpro/rest/v1/problems/invalid-parameter-value"
    }
  }
}
Invalid request body
Problem type

invalid-request-body

Status code

400 Bad Request

Reasons

Indicates that you provided an invalid request body. This is usually the case if you provide invalid JSON as body for a POST or PUT request. The error might also indicate that you provided an invalid multipart request.

Remedy

Check your request body for validity. In case of a JSON body, you might try using a validation tool like JSONLint. In case this is a multipart request, check the HTTP body structure, especially the multipart boundary.

Example problem document
HTTP/1.1 400 Bad Request
Content-Type: application/problem+json
Content-Length: 214

{
  "type" : "invalid-request-body",
  "title" : "unparsable request body",
  "_links" : {
    "documentation" : {
      "href" : "https://apidocs.inxmail.com/xpro/rest/v1/problems/invalid-request-body"
    }
  }
}
Missing parameter
Problem type

missing-parameter

Status code

400 Bad Request

Reasons

Indicates that a mandatory request parameter is missing.

Remedy

Check if you included all mandatory request parameters. The documentation should state which request parameters are mandatory for the request you are trying to make.

Example problem document
HTTP/1.1 400 Bad Request
Content-Type: application/problem+json
Content-Length: 268

{
  "type" : "missing-parameter",
  "title" : "required parameter is missing",
  "detail" : "required parameter 'param' is missing",
  "_links" : {
    "documentation" : {
      "href" : "https://apidocs.inxmail.com/xpro/rest/v1/problems/missing-parameter"
    }
  }
}
Missing request part
Problem type

missing-request-part

Status code

400 Bad Request

Reasons

Indicates that a mandatory request part is missing. This should only occur in conjunction with multipart requests.

A common cause is a POST request triggering a recipient import which is a proper multipart request but lacks the mandatory file request part.

Remedy

Check if you included all mandatory request parts. The documentation should state which request parts are mandatory for the request you are trying to make.

If you encounter this error while triggering a recipient import, make sure you’ve included the file request part in your multipart request.

Example problem document
HTTP/1.1 400 Bad Request
Content-Type: application/problem+json
Content-Length: 279

{
  "type" : "missing-request-part",
  "title" : "required request part is missing",
  "detail" : "required request part 'file' is missing",
  "_links" : {
    "documentation" : {
      "href" : "https://apidocs.inxmail.com/xpro/rest/v1/problems/missing-request-part"
    }
  }
}
Type mismatch
Problem type

type-mismatch

Status code

400 Bad Request

Reasons

Indicates that the value for a parameter has a different type than expected.

A common cause is a request with an id parameter for which the name of the resource was provided instead of the ID. The expected type in this case is integer while the actual type is string. This response also occurs when a request with a date parameter was provided, but the given date was not formatted properly.

Remedy

Check if you provided the correct type for all request parameters (i.e. query parameters). The error detail outlines which parameter caused the error.

Example problem document
HTTP/1.1 400 Bad Request
Content-Type: application/problem+json
Content-Length: 275

{
  "type" : "type-mismatch",
  "title" : "a parameter had an incorrect type",
  "detail" : "provided value for parameter 'id' not supported.",
  "_links" : {
    "documentation" : {
      "href" : "https://apidocs.inxmail.com/xpro/rest/v1/problems/type-mismatch"
    }
  }
}
Unresolvable request
Problem type

unresolvable-request

Status code

400 Bad Request

Reasons

Indicates that the request could not be resolved.

Remedy

This is a very rare issue. If you should encounter this error, please contact us.

Example problem document
HTTP/1.1 400 Bad Request
Content-Type: application/problem+json
Content-Length: 224

{
  "type" : "unresolvable-request",
  "title" : "the request could not be resolved",
  "_links" : {
    "documentation" : {
      "href" : "https://apidocs.inxmail.com/xpro/rest/v1/problems/unresolvable-request"
    }
  }
}
Validation error
Problem type

validation-error

Status code

400 Bad Request

Reasons

Indicates that the request body you provided did not pass validation. This issue can only be observed in conjunction with POST and PUT requests.

Remedy

Check all fields and the whole body of the request you provided for validity. The generalErrors and invalidFields fields in the problem document outlines which constraints did not validate and why. For additional information, also check the documentation which should contain information on the valid values for each field.

Example problem document
HTTP/1.1 400 Bad Request
Content-Type: application/problem+json
Content-Length: 462

{
  "type" : "validation-error",
  "title" : "invalid request parameters",
  "generalErrors" : [ "this object was invalid" ],
  "invalidFields" : [ {
    "field" : "fieldName",
    "problem" : "this field's value was invalid"
  }, {
    "field" : "anotherFieldName",
    "problem" : "this field's value also was invalid"
  } ],
  "_links" : {
    "documentation" : {
      "href" : "https://apidocs.inxmail.com/xpro/rest/v1/problems/validation-error"
    }
  }
}
Duplicate Email
Problem type

duplicate-email

Status code

409 Conflict

Reasons

Indicates that a recipient related request could not be fulfilled because the email address of that recipient is already assigned to a different recipient. As email addresses are unique in Inxmail Professional, any email address can only be assigned to one recipient.

A common case is trying to change the email address of an existing recipient to an address already assigned to a different recipient.

Remedy

If you receive this problem as a result to a recipient update, the updated recipient might very well be the same as the existing recipient with the same email address. In that case, consider merging the two recipients into one.

If the recipient you are updating and the existing recipient are distinct recipients, you either have to assign unique email addresses to each of them or delete one of them.

There are various techniques to handle distinct recipients with the same email address. Please contact us for more information on how your specific use case can be implemented.

Example problem document
HTTP/1.1 409 Conflict
Content-Type: application/problem+json
Content-Disposition: inline;filename=f.txt
Content-Length: 226

{
  "type" : "duplicate-email",
  "title" : "the specified email address is already in use",
  "_links" : {
    "documentation" : {
      "href" : "https://apidocs.inxmail.com/xpro/rest/v1/problems/duplicate-email"
    }
  }
}
Blacklisted
Problem type

blacklisted

Status code

400 Bad Request

Reasons

Indicates that a recipient related request could not be fulfilled because the email address of that recipient matches a blacklist entry.

A common case is trying to subscribe a recipient whose email address matches a blacklist entry.

Remedy

If possible, check whether the blacklist entry is valid. If it is, discard the request as this recipient must not enter the system. It might also be possible that the blacklist entry is not specific enough and falsely blocks this recipient. If that is the case, refine the blacklist entry to allow for this recipient to enter the system. This can only be done using the Inxmail Professional client application.

Example problem document
HTTP/1.1 400 Bad Request
Content-Type: application/problem+json
Content-Length: 222

{
  "type" : "blacklisted",
  "title" : "the given email address matches a blacklist entry",
  "_links" : {
    "documentation" : {
      "href" : "https://apidocs.inxmail.com/xpro/rest/v1/problems/blacklisted"
    }
  }
}
Ambiguous Email
Problem type

ambiguous-email

Status code

409 Conflict

Reasons

Indicates that a recipient related request could not be fulfilled because the email address of that recipient does not uniquely identify a single recipient. This can only occur with specially configured Inxmail Professional systems.

Remedy

As that specific recipient can not be unambiguously identified by the email address, use the unique ID instead. To find the correct recipient, perform a request on the recipient collection with a filter on the email address. This will return the collection of all recipients with that address and may enable you to find the correct recipient if you have means of distinguishing them.

Example problem document
HTTP/1.1 409 Conflict
Content-Type: application/problem+json
Content-Disposition: inline;filename=f.txt
Content-Length: 329

{
  "type" : "ambiguous-email",
  "title" : "the specified email address does not uniquely identify a single recipient",
  "detail" : "the address 'john.doe@example.com' identifies 2 recipients",
  "_links" : {
    "documentation" : {
      "href" : "https://apidocs.inxmail.com/xpro/rest/v1/problems/ambiguous-email"
    }
  }
}
Subscription error
Problem type

subscription-error

Status code

400 Bad Request

Reasons

Indicates that some aspect of a subscription request caused it to fail. The result and detail fields provide further information on the problem at hand.

Remedy

Check the result and detail fields of the problem document for further information on the problem at hand.

Example problem document
HTTP/1.1 400 Bad Request
Content-Type: application/problem+json
Content-Length: 305

{
  "type" : "subscription-error",
  "title" : "subscription process failed",
  "detail" : "the given email address is not valid",
  "result" : "INVALID_ADDRESS_ERROR",
  "_links" : {
    "documentation" : {
      "href" : "https://apidocs.inxmail.com/xpro/rest/v1/problems/subscription-error"
    }
  }
}
Unsubscription error
Problem type

unsubscription-error

Status code

400 Bad Request

Reasons

Indicates that some aspect of an unsubscription request caused it to fail. The result and detail fields provide further information on the problem at hand. Common cases include:

  • Unsubscribing a recipient from a list she is already unsubscribed from.

  • Unsubscribing a recipient unknown to the system.

Remedy

Check the result and detail fields of the problem document for further information on the problem at hand. If the result field is DUPLICATE_UNSUBSCRIPTION, you can safely discard the request as the recipient is already unsubscribed from the list. If the result field is NOT_IN_SYSTEM_UNSUBSCRIPTION, you can also safely discard the request as the recipient is not in the system and therefore not subscribed to any list.

Example problem document
HTTP/1.1 400 Bad Request
Content-Type: application/problem+json
Content-Length: 330

{
  "type" : "unsubscription-error",
  "title" : "unsubscription process failed",
  "detail" : "the recipient is already unsubscribed from that list",
  "result" : "DUPLICATE_UNSUBSCRIPTION",
  "_links" : {

    }
  }
}
Mailing render error
Problem type

mailing-render-error

Status code

400 Bad Request

Reasons

Indicates that there were errors with the result that the mailing could not be rendered.

Remedy

Open the affected mailing in the Inxmail Professional client application to get more information about the cause. Use the Inxmail Professional client application to resolve the issues that caused the render error.

Notice the errors-field in the response to examine the details of the erros.

Unknown Recipient Attribute
Problem type

unknown-recipient-attribute

Status code

400 Bad Request

Reasons

Indicates that a specified recipient attribute does not exist.

A common case is trying to specify an attribute filter on the recipients collection with an invalid attribute name. This includes the use of non-user attributes (i.e. system attributes).

Remedy

If the specified attribute is required but does not currently exist, you might consider creating it. If the specified attribute is a non-user attribute, consider replacing it with a built-in filter. For example, to filter recipients by their last_modified date, simply use the lastModifiedSince parameter.

Example problem document
HTTP/1.1 400 Bad Request
Content-Type: application/problem+json
Content-Length: 327

{
  "type" : "unknown-recipient-attribute",

    }
  }
}
Unparseable Recipient Attribute
Problem type

unparseable-recipient-attribute

Status code

400 Bad Request

Reasons

Indicates that a specified recipient attribute value could not be parsed.

Most likely, the data type of the specified recipient attribute is not compatible with the type of the specified value. For example, if the specified recipient attribute has the data type DATE_AND_TIME, you must provide an appropriately formatted datetime string, as described in the section Date/Time format and time zone.

Remedy

Provide a properly formatted value whose data type matches that of the specified recipient attribute. The expectedDataType field conveys the data type of the recipient attribute. If this data type is TEXT, the maxStringLength field contains the maximum number of characters the value may consist of.

Example problem document
HTTP/1.1 400 Bad Request
Content-Type: application/problem+json
Content-Disposition: inline;filename=f.txt
Content-Length: 408

{
  "type" : "unparseable-recipient-attribute",
  "title" : "a specified recipient attribute value can not be parsed",

    "documentation" : {
      "href" : "https://apidocs.inxmail.com/xpro/rest/v1/problems/unparseable-recipient-attribute"
    }
  }
}
Unparseable Recipient Attribute Filter
Problem type

unparseable-recipient-attribute-filter

Status code

400 Bad Request

Reasons

Indicates that a specified recipient attribute filter could not be parsed.

Most likely, the data type of the specified recipient attribute is not compatible with the type of the specified matching value. For example, if the specified recipient attribute has the data type DATE_AND_TIME, you must provide an appropriately formatted datetime string, as described in the section Date/Time format and time zone.

Remedy

Provide a properly formatted matching value whose data type matches that of the specified recipient attribute. The expectedDataType field conveys the data type of the recipient attribute. If this data type is TEXT, the maxStringLength field contains the maximum number of characters the matching value may consist of.

Example problem document
HTTP/1.1 400 Bad Request

Content-Length: 429

{
  "type" : "unparseable-recipient-attribute-filter",

    }
  }
}
Unsupported Recipient Attribute Filter
Problem type

unsupported-recipient-attribute-filter

Status code

400 Bad Request

Reasons

Indicates that a specified recipient attribute filter is not supported.

Most likely, the specified attribute has data type FLOATING_POINT_NUMBER or TIME_ONLY which are currently not supported for recipient attribute filters. In case of FLOATING_POINT_NUMBER attributes, this is due to the imprecise nature of floating point numbers which inhibits a meaningful comparison for equality.

Remedy

There is currently no way of filtering FLOATING_POINT_NUMBER or TIME_ONLY recipient attributes. If you have to filter by a recipient attribute with one of these data types, you will have to process the complete collection and apply filters manually.

We recommend to compare floating point numbers with a defined acceptable precision to avoid comparison errors due to varying precisions in the involved systems.

Example problem document
HTTP/1.1 400 Bad Request
Content-Type: application/problem+json
Content-Length: 419

{
  "type" : "unsupported-recipient-attribute-filter",
  "title" : "the specified recipient attribute filter is not supported for this operation",

      "href" : "https://apidocs.inxmail.com/xpro/rest/v1/problems/unsupported-recipient-attribute-filter"
    }
  }
}

Hypermedia

Resources may have relations to other resources and in order to offer an easy way to navigate between them, we use HAL (Hypertext Application Language) to supply hyperlinks. HAL provides an easy way to navigate through the Inxmail Professional REST API by returning an array of links for every resource you acquire.

Hypermedia links are inside the "_links" node of a response. Each array contains at least a self link, pointing to the resource itself. This is helpful in cases where the resource is nested inside another resource where it is only represented partially. The self link provides a way to retrieve the full representation of the resource at its canonical URL.

It is strongly advised to use our generated links for navigation instead of creating your own links, so that API updates don’t break any existing code.

Example

When requesting a list of recipients, each recipient in the response contains a link to itself, making it easy to navigate to a specific recipient.

"recipients": [2]
    0:  {
        "id": 1
        "email": "recipient1@inxmail.invalid"
        "_links": {
            "self": {
                "href": "https://api.inxmail.com/customer/rest/v1/recipients/1"
            }
        }
    }
    1:  {
        "id": 2
        "email": "recipient2@inxmail.invalid"
        "_links": {
            "self": {
                "href": "https://api.inxmail.com/customer/rest/v1/recipients/2"
            }
        }
    }
}

Link relations are used to provide semantics and addressability for links. For example, when you encounter the next relation, you can make the following assumptions:

  • The resource containing the link is a collection resource employing pagination

  • The target of the link is a the next page of the same collection resource

  • There actually is a non-empty next page

In addition, the relation provides a way of addressing the link to the next page. So, iterating through all pages of a collection becomes a matter of following the link addressed by the next relation until this relation is no longer present in the representation which means you have reached the final page.

In general, we try to use the link relations registered with the IANA whenever applicable. For a list of these link relations, see IANA link relations.

As these link relations don’t cover all aspects of the semantics this API provides, we created custom link relations which only apply in the context of this API.

Each of the link relations listed below has a type and a description. The type specifies what the result of following the link will be. For example, the type Resource collection link relation specifies, that the result of following the link will be a collection of resources. The description provides further information.

Type

Resource link relation

Description

The bounces relation indicates that the corresponding link points to a specific bounce. This indicates a generic relationship between the current resource and the bounce referenced by the link.

blacklist-entries
Type

Resource collection link relation

Description

The blacklist-entries relation indicates that the corresponding link points to a collection of blacklist entries.

upcoming
Type

Resource collection link relation

Description

Pagination link relation for a link to a page that does not exist yet. Used in collections on the current last page to point to a page becoming available once more data is entered into the system.

Prefix and Curies

You may have noticed, that the custom link relations defined above are not URIs, as would be required by RFC 5988, section 4.2. In order to reduce the length of the relations, we make use of the concept of curies.

In short, curies are used to establish a prefix for link relations which can be used to expand the relation name to the actual URI, similar to XML namespaces. In particular we make use of the curie support of the HAL media type, as specified in the HAL specification, section CURIEs.

Example

The following is an example of the status of a recipient import.

HTTP/1.1 200 OK
Content-Type: application/hal+json
Content-Length: 465

{
  "id" : 5,
  "successCount" : 38,
  "failCount" : 42,
  "state" : "PROCESSING",
  "_links" : {
    "self" : {
      "href" : "https://api.inxmail.com/customer/rest/v1/imports/recipients/5"
    },
    "inx:files" : {
      "href" : "https://api.inxmail.com/customer/rest/v1/imports/recipients/5/files"
    },
    "curies" : [ {
      "href" : "https://apidocs.inxmail.com/xpro/rest/v1/relations/{rel}",
      "name" : "inx",
      "templated" : true
    } ]
  }
}

Notice the custom relation inx:files in the links object. The inx prefix is used to expand the files relation to a URI, using the URL template provided in the curies array. To expand the relation, simply take the relation name (i.e. files) and replace {rel} in the href with the relation name. In this case, this would result in the following URL: https://apidocs.inxmail.com/xpro/rest/v1/relations/files

Embedding

In order to reduce the number of requests necessary to retrieve related data, embedding can be used to include other related resources, where available.

Resources that support embedding accept the embedded query parameter. This parameter takes a list of link relations which shall be included in the response. Which relations are supported is documented in the respective resource descriptions in a section "Embeddable relations".

The embedded resources will appear in the _embedded JSON node, each identified by their link relation. For collection resources, the _embedded node will appear inside each of the collection items.

Please note, that it is not guaranteed the _embedded node will be present. This depends on whether the embedded resource actually exists. For example: a request for a mailing with embedded sending statistics will only include them if the mailing has been sent.

Embedding in the context of resource collections

Embedding is also used in resource collections to embed the resources contained in the collection. For more information, see section Collection resources.

Pagination

Pagination is a technique for breaking large record sets into smaller portions called pages. When requesting a collection resource, pagination is used in order to guarantee that the response doesn’t take too much time and is easy to handle. For example, getting all recipients could be a massive response which could take a lot of time. Also, the Internet is not a reliable network, therefore smaller responses increase the probability that a request is answered successfully.

Traversing with pagination

When requesting a collection resource, you are presented with navigation links that help you access all data within the requested collection. These links are included in each page of a collection resource and you should not calculate them yourself. Besides the usual self link, you will also find a link to the first page and a next page link. The first page link is omitted if you are on the first page already, the next page link is omitted once you reach the end of a collection resource. More information about hypermedia links can be found in the hypermedia section.

Limiting result size

By default, the result size is set to 1000 entries, which is the same as the maximum page size. You can change the page size by setting the pageSize parameter.

Note
The default page size was increased from 100 to 1000 entries per page in order to reduce the number of requests needed to read all entries of a collection. Depending on the implementation, it might be necessary to accommodate to this new default or to explicitly request a page size of 100 entries.

Be aware that when you request a page size outside the allowed bounds, it is adjusted to a legal value. If you request a page size of less than 1, then the page size will be set to the default page size. If you request a page size higher than the maximum page size, then it is set to the maximum page size.

If you need a higher maximum page size, please contact us.

Cursor based pagination

Safely traversing the result set is a primary issue with stateless systems. The Inxmail Professional REST API uses cursor based pagination to ensure that you will never miss any data record. With cursor based pagination the next link in each collection resource is based on the ID of the last element on that page. When data is added to or deleted from the database, you still can continue to go through the pages of your paged result and receive all elements.

Live data

If you compare the Inxmail Professional SOAP API with the new REST API you will see a difference in behavior when looking up paged data. The SOAP API employs sessions and when requesting data, a snapshot is created on the initial request. With the Inxmail Professional REST API this is different as you will get live data. When requesting a collection resource, like all lists or all recipients, no snapshot is created at all.

Given a request for a collection resource, which is sorted ascending by ID, you are guaranteed to see all entries in the database using the provided next links, including entries created just moments ago. However, entries that are deleted before you reach their respective page are no longer available.

Also, be aware that while traversing a collection resource, the data on previous pages might already have changed. Therefore, if you return to the first page using the first link, this page is by no means guaranteed to resemble the state you observed when you first requested it. Records which were deleted in the mean time will not be included. Changes to these records will also be reflected. This behavior extends to the self link which will also reflect any changes performed on that resource in the mean time.

To simplify the navigation through a collection resource a number of links are available. These links are attributed with a link relation to define the type of the link, or the relationship between the source and destination resource. The link relations used are a subset of the link relations defined by IANA and the custom upcoming link relation.

Keep in mind that you should always rely on these provided links. Don’t try to guess or construct your own URLs.

Long term data synchronization with the upcoming link

A typical use case is the synchronization of data, where you only want to get new objects in subsequent synchronizations. Over longer periods of time, there may be huge amounts of data and the practical way of synchronizing is to only look at new data.

To accommodate this, this API provides a special link on the last page of a collection resource. You can save this link and use it as a starting point for a future synchronization. The upcoming link leads to a page immediately following your last synchronized page of data. This page will be empty until data is entered into the system.

Please be aware, new data may not become available instantly upon being entered into the system, as it may be stored in write buffers for a while.

We strongly discourage synchronization based on timestamps for a number of reasons, including write buffers and unsynchronized clocks.

Please also mind, the upcoming link will only return a collection containing new objects, it will not return previously retrieved objects, even if they have been changed. If you want to capture all changes to all objects of a given type, just get the resource collection of this type.

If no new data has been entered into the system, following the upcoming link will return an empty collection.

Rate Limiting

Rate limiting is used to maintain the availability of the API and to guarantee acceptable response times.

Currently, the limit is set to 600 requests per minute. Please note that the rate limit can change in the future. Therefore, the calculation of the next possible request should always rely on the information in the headers. When receiving a response from the server, the X-RateLimit headers provide the needed information to calculate the point in time when the next request may be attempted.

Table 8. Rate limiting headers
Header Description

Retry-After

The time in seconds until the next reset, only shown when the limit is reached and an error response got returned. RFC 7231

X-RateLimit-Limit

The maximum number of requests per period

X-RateLimit-Remaining

The remaining number of requests in the current period

X-RateLimit-Reset

The time in seconds until the next reset

Mailing lists

The concept of mailing lists used in Inxmail Professional is similar to regular mailing lists which you may be acquainted to as a developer. It is used to organize a subset of the recipients known to the system and send newsletters to these recipients.

There are four kinds of mailing lists:

  • Standard mailing lists

  • Dynamic mailing lists

  • The system mailing list

  • The administration mailing list

Standard mailing lists

This kind of mailing list is the equivalent of a regular mailing list. Membership is fairly static and can only be changed by either subscribing to the list (which will add a recipient to that list) or unsubscribing from the list.

Recipients who were unsubscribed from a list will no longer receive mailings sent via that list. They are, however, still known to that list. Inxmail Professional maintains a list of recipients who have been unsubscribed from a list along with a list of the subscribed members.

Dynamic mailing lists

In contrast to standard mailing lists, dynamic mailing lists employ a fluid membership which is determined by evaluating a target group each time the subscription status is required. A target group is used to segment recipients according to their attributes or reactions like clicks and openings.

Neither manual subscription nor unsubscription are supported for this type of mailing list, as the membership is solely bound to the target group this list is based on.

The system mailing list

The system mailing list is a special, virtual mailing list, which contains all recipients known to the system. It is used mainly to organize all recipients - especially those which are currently not assigned to any list - and to manage the system as a whole. There is only one system mailing list.

It is not possible to send mailings from the system mailing list.

The administration mailing list

The administration mailing list is another virtual mailing list. In contrast to the system mailing list, it contains no recipients at all and is solely used to manage certain properties of the system. There is only one administration mailing list. In the context of this API, it is rather safe to ignore this list.

Sender address and reply-to address

Static and dynamic mailings lists must have a sender address which is the email address used as the value for the sender header of a mail sent via that list. A list may have a reply-to address which is used as the value for the reply-to header. If a reply-to address is not set in the advanced list properties explicitly, the return value for the fields replyToAddress and replyToName will be null. However, when a mail is sent, the outgoing mail will still have a reply-to address. In such cases the sender address is used in the reply-to header.

The from header will always contain the address of the bounce mail account which is not accessible through this API. For more information, see RFC 5322, in particular section 3.6.

Note
The address and name parts (e.g. senderAddress and senderName) are combined to form a mailbox address of the following form name <address>. In the context of RFC 5322 (section 3.4) name corresponds to display-name and address corresponds to addr-spec, thus forming an angle-addr.

Delete mailing list

DELETE /lists/{id}

A DELETE request will remove a mailing list and all the objects depending on it (e.g. all mailings in that list).

Be aware that a list can not be deleted if it is locked by another user (e.g. an Inxmail Professional user editing a mailing in that list via the desktop client application). A DELETE request on a locked mailing list will trigger a locked-resource error.

Also, it is impossible to delete the system and administration lists. A DELETE request on one of these lists will result in an invalid-parameter-value error.

Example

Request
$ curl 'https://api.inxmail.com/customer/rest/v1/lists/5' -i -X DELETE
Response
HTTP/1.1 204 No Content

Retrieve recipient count of a mailing list

GET /lists/{id}/count

A GET request with a ID parameter will return the number or recipients subscribed to the requested list. Because of performance considerations, this number is only recalculated infrequently. The returned resource will also tell you when the count has been last updated. At the moment there is no way for the user to force an update of the count, the server will decide on the update frequency.

Request structure

Table 10. /customer/rest/v1/lists/{id}/count
Parameter Description

id

The ID of the list. To receive the count of all recipients use the system list with id = 1.

Response structure

Path Type Description

id

Number

The ID of the list

count

Number

The number of recipients subscribed to the list.

lastCalculatedAt

String

The calculation date of the count. The value of the count is cached and stored in the database.

_links

Object

Links to other resources

Example

Request
$ curl 'https://api.inxmail.com/customer/rest/v1/lists/5/count' -i -X GET
Response
HTTP/1.1 200 OK
Content-Type: application/hal+json
Content-Length: 189

List settings

Mailing lists have various settings that affect the behavior of the list itself and of the associated objects (e.g. mailings). These settings can be changed using this API.

Note
As of this writing, list settings can only be written, not read. This will change with an upcoming release of this API.

Available settings

Currently, this API supports only a limited subset of the list settings provided by Inxmail Professional. The available settings are:

Setting name Default value Description

TrackingPermissionDetachedFromMembership

"false"

If this setting is "false" (the default), tracking permissions are revoked when a recipient is removed from a list. Furthermore, tracking permissions can not be changed for recipients who are not subscribed to the affected list.

If this setting is "true", tracking permissions are retained when a recipient is removed from a list and the recipient can change the tracking permission for a list she is not a member of. Be aware though, that the tracking permission will still be revoked when a recipient is unsubcribed from a list instead of being removed from the list.

Changing a list setting

PUT /lists/{listId}/settings/{settingName}

A PUT request with the following payload structure will change the value of a list setting. Violations of the constraints will lead to validation errors.

Request structure

Table 11. /customer/rest/v1/lists/{listId}/settings/{settingName}
Parameter Description

listId

The ID of the list to change the setting on. Must be a list of type STANDARD.

settingName

The name of the setting to change. Currently only TrackingPermissionDetachedFromMembership is supported

Payload structure

The constraints depend on the list setting to be changed. See the following table for details:

Path Type Description Setting Constraints

value

String

The new value of the setting

TrackingPermissionDetachedFromMembership

  • Must not be null

  • Must be one of "true", "false"

    -H 'Content-Type: application/hal+json' \
    -d '{
  "value" : "true"
}'
Response
HTTP/1.1 200 OK

Mailings

An Inxmail Professional mailing describes an email object that is used to send out personalized email content to the recipients of the mailing list it belongs to. Depending on its type it is used for different types of dispatch use-cases like a mass dispatch (e.g. newsletter) or a transactional dispatch (e.g. birthday mailing). See mailing type for a description of all available types.

The mailing object contains various links that can be used as an entry point to gather additional information which are related to a mailing e.g. the rendered content or response information.

If you need more specific information about a mailing, there are separate endpoints for the specific mailing types available. These are described later.

Regular Mailings

Regular mailings are used for standard newsletter campaigns. They are sent at defined period of time and may be re-sent as a single mail (See Send a single mailing / send/continue a mass mailing), or if the 'Send most recently sent mailing in this list to new recipient' option is selected in subscriptions. Unlike trigger- or actionmailings they are not triggered by an event.

There is a specific endpoint to retrieve regular mailings. Only mailings of type REGULAR_MAILING are returned using this endpoint. Regular mailings have all attributes of general mailings and additionally the mailing state. The regular mailing object contains various links that can be used as an entry point to gather additional information which are related to a mailing e.g. the rendered content or response information.

Request parameters

Parameter Required Description

sentAfter

no

All mailings that were sent after this date (ISO 8601) will be returned. When this value is set, only mailings that have at least one successful sending after that given date (inclusive) will be included in the result. Only one value at a time can be specified. Matches the end of the send duration, see hint below.

sentBefore

no

All mailings that were sent before this date (ISO 8601) will be returned. When this value is set, only mailings that have at least one successful sending before that given date (exclusive) will be included in the result. Only one value at a time can be specified. Matches the end of the send duration, see hint below.

types

no

The mailing type for the desired mailings. More than one value can be specified with multiple query parameters or comma separated list. Default is all mailing types. Possible values are: [REGULAR_MAILING, ACTION_MAILING, TIME_TRIGGER_MAILING, SUBSCRIPTION_TRIGGER_MAILING, SPLIT_TEST_MAILING].

listIds

no

The IDs of the lists to retrieve mailings for. More than one value can be specified with multiple query parameters or comma separated list. Default is all listIds.

readyToSend

no

If true, only mailings of type REGULAR_MAILING will be returned, which are ready to be sent. Mailings which have already been sent or have been interrupted will not be included. Value false has not been implemented yet. Using false will result in 400 Bad Request.

embedded

no

Indicates the relations of the resources that should be embedded in the result.

createdAfter

no

All mailings that were created after this date (ISO 8601) will be returned. Only one value at a time can be specified.

createdBefore

no

All mailings that were created before this date (ISO 8601) will be returned. Only one value at a time can be specified.

modifiedAfter

no

All mailings that were modified after this date (ISO 8601) will be returned. Only one value at a time can be specified.

modifiedBefore

no

All mailings that were modified before this date (ISO 8601) will be returned. Only one value at a time can be specified.

mailingStates

no

All mailings of specified RegularMailingState will be returned. More than one value can be specified with multiple query parameters or comma separated list. Valid states are FINISHED, ACTIVE, DRAFT, INTERRUPTED, SCHEDULED, APPROVAL_REQUESTED or APPROVED

Hint: The sentBefore and sentAfter filter match the end of a sendings send-duration. A sending of a mailing is not an instantenious event. If a mailing is sent to millions of recipients, possibly with additional target groups, the duration of sending these mails could span more than an hour. With small sendings the duration is most often more than one second. Effectively, sentBefore means the send-duration ended before that point in time. sentAfter means the send-duration ended after that point in time.

Mailing Approvals

Before a mailing can be sent it needs to be approved. Inxmail Professional offers the approval mechanism to distinguish between mailings that are still being worked on, and those where work is completed and verified. Typically a senior editor approves mailing to mark them as ready to be sent to the recipients.

The exact process of approval can be configured system wide or per list in the list properties. Depending on the used process a number of transitions could happen. The approvals endpoint allows to access a history of these events per mailing.

Furthermore the approvals endpoint allows to directly approve a given mailing. This is the fastest and most simple way to approve a mailing. More elaborated approval processes are currently not supported in this API.

Mailing rendered content

The rendered content of a mailing consists of multiple fields that describe the content of a mailing (subject, HTML part, etc.). By default the returned content of this resource will be personalized with a test recipient that only contains an email address as recipient data (unknown@unknown.invalid).

If the content contains links or embedded images the following rules applies: Standard links are fully functional, tracking links are functional but will not trigger any events or generate any clicks, unsubscription links will redirect but not unsubscribe anybody. Embedded images are replaced with http references to image resources on the Inxmail server.

Please note that the process of rendering a mailing can be rather expensive in terms of performance and also in the size of data returned in the response. Because of the latter the overall attachment size is limited to 500kB per mailing in this resource. If the limit is exceeded this resource will respond with a mailing-render-error problem response.

To calculate the size of the rendered content of a mailing, you can use the endpoint documented in Calculate size of rendered mailing content.

HTTP Datasources

The datasources can be created as PDF or HTTP datasources. The data can then be used as text, text transformation or as a file attachment in an email. The API allows requesting HTTP datasources. Datasources of type PDF are currently not retrievable.

For the datasources, it can be defined when they should be queried during mailing dispatch. The following options are available:

  • Query the data source for each recipient (RECIPIENT_BASED).

  • Query the data source only once at the start of the mailing (ONCE).

  • Query the data source on demand and cache the content (RECIPIENT_CACHED).

Retrieve all sendings of all specified mailings

A mailing can have one or many sendings.

GET /sendings{?mailingId,sendingsFinishedBeforeDate,sendingsFinishedAfterDate,listIds}

A GET request with an ID parameter will return the sendings of the mailing.

Request structure

$ curl 'https://api.inxmail.com/customer/rest/v1/sendings?mailingId=1&sendingsFinishedBeforeDate=2024-03-12T14:40:58.055Z&sendingsFinishedAfterDate=2024-03-12T14:40:58.055Z&listIds=1' -i -X GET

Request parameters

Parameter Required Description

mailingId

no

The ID of the mailing to retrieve sendings for. Only one value at a time can be specified.

listIds

no

The IDs of the lists to retrieve sendings for.

sendingsFinishedBeforeDate

no

All sendings that were sent before this date (ISO 8601) will be returned. When this value is set, only sendings that have been sent before that given date (inclusive) will be included in the result.

sendingsFinishedAfterDate

no

All sendings that were sent after this date (ISO 8601) will be returned. When this value is set, only sendings that have been sent after that given date (exclusive) will be included in the result.

Note

Please note that both request parameters sendingsFinishedBeforeDate and sendingsFinishedAfterDate are not recommended to be used for continuous synchronisations. For continuous synchronisation use id-based requests to avoid problems of date based synchronization. For this purpose each time you reach the last page of a collection you find a link to next page you should request in your next scheduled synchronization. A possible problem of date based synchronization could be that most recent data is not yet available and would be missed if you request a specific date-time range. For further information please read: Long term data synchronization with the upcoming link.

Sending Protocol

The sending protocol keeps track of all the recipients in a sending. For each recipient in a sending there is a sending protocol entry. You can find out which recipient received the mailing and which recipient did not receive it because of specific reasons, e.g. hardbounce.

Each sending protocol entry contains information about the following data:
  • recipient id

  • sending protocol state

Retrieve sending protocol collection

GET /sendings/{sendingId}/protocol

A GET request with a sending id on the sending protocol resource will return the first page of sending protocol entries.

Recipient Attributes

Recipient attributes are used for storing information about the recipients. This information may be used for:

  • personalization of mailings

  • segmentation of recipients (target groups)

Inxmail Professional does not limit which or how many attributes can be created, although we advise not to create too many of them to prevent performance degradation.

The only limitation imposed on attributes are the available data types:

  • Text

  • Date with time

  • Date only

  • Time only

  • Integer

  • Float

  • Boolean

Text attributes are limited to 80 characters by default but can be configured to store up to 255 characters. They may contain any UTF-8 character, although we strongly recommend to restrict usage to the Basic Multilingual Plane (BMP).

A typical use case of date and time attributes is storing temporal information like the birthday of a recipient or the last time the recipient ordered something. For more information on the actual date format, see section Date/Time format and Timezone.

Integer attributes may be used to store integral numbers ranging from -2147483648 to 2147483647. Floating point attributes can store numbers ranging from 4.9E-324 to 1.7976931348623157E308 in double precision (64 bit).

Boolean attributes can store the values true and false only. Unset boolean attribute values are handled as false.

The name of a custom attribute must fulfill the following criteria:

  • The name must not be null

  • The name must not exceed 255 characters

  • The name does not consist of whitespace characters only

  • The name must not be email

  • The name must not begin with subscription_ (ignoring case)

  • The name must not begin with sequence_ (ignoring case)

  • The name must not begin with %

Recipients

Recipients are essentially the human beings or organizations you wish to contact with a mailing. Therefore, the most important information a recipient record holds, is the email address.

A recipient can be a member of multiple mailing lists, either by subscribing to them (which is the case for standard lists) or by fulfilling the segmentation criteria of a dynamic list. For more information regarding lists, see chapter Mailing lists.

In order to personalize the mailing content and to build target groups, recipient records can hold additional information in the form of recipient attributes. These attributes are common to all recipient records, while the values of course vary. For more information regarding recipient attributes, see chapter Recipient Attributes.

As it is not guaranteed that a recipient can be reached via the email address stored in Inxmail Professional, there also exists the concept of bounces. Bounces, put simply, are the mails sent by mail daemons and SMTP servers when a mail could not be delivered to the recipient. When this occurs, the recipient is marked as unreachable in Inxmail Professional and will not be contacted from that moment on, regardless of list membership.

Retrieve single recipient

GET /recipients/{id}{?attributes,allAttributes,trackingPermissionsForLists,subscriptionDatesForLists,unsubscriptionDatesForLists}

A GET request with an ID parameter will return the requested recipient.

Without additional parameters, we only return the id, the email and the unavailable flag of the requested recipient, not the attributes or the tracking permissions of the recipient. This is due to possible performance issues which could occur when there are a lot of attributes or tracking permissions available. However, there is the possibility to request specific attributes and even all attributes of a recipient. Is is also possible to request the tracking permissions of a recipient.

Retrieve recipients collection

GET /recipients{?attributes,subscribedTo,lastModifiedSince,email,attributes.attributeName,trackingPermissionsForLists,subscriptionDatesForLists,unsubscriptionDatesForLists,filterId,emailContainsIgnoreCase,attributesContainsIgnoreCase.someAttribute}

or

GET /recipients{?attributes,unsubscribedFrom,lastModifiedSince,email,attributes.attributeName,trackingPermissionsForLists}

A GET request on the recipients resource will return the first page of recipients.

Request parameters

Parameter Required Description

attributes

no

Indicates the names of the attributes that should be included in the result. More than one value can be specified with multiple query parameters or comma separated list.

subscribedTo

no

When set to the ID of an existing list, retrieves only recipients subscribed to that list. Warning: Retrieving recipients of dynamic lists can cause longer running times because the target group has to be evaluated. This parameter cannot be specified simultaneously to the parameter unsubscribedFrom.

subscribedToAny

no

When set to the IDs of existing standard lists, retrieves only recipients subscribed to that lists. Warning: Retrieving recipients of dynamic lists can cause longer running times because the target group has to be evaluated. This parameter cannot be specified simultaneously to the parameter unsubscribedFrom and subscribedTo.

unsubscribedFrom

no

When set to the ID of an existing list, retrieves only recipients unsubscribed from that list. Warning: Retrieving recipients of dynamic lists can cause longer running times because the target group has to be evaluated. This parameter cannot be specified simultaneously to the parameter subscribedTo.

unsubscribedFromAny

no

When set to the IDs of existing standard lists, retrieves only recipients unsubscribed from that lists. Warning: Retrieving recipients of dynamic lists can cause longer running times because the target group has to be evaluated. This parameter cannot be specified simultaneously to the parameter subscribedTo and unsubscribedFrom.

lastModifiedSince

no

Indicates the date (ISO 8601) on which a recipient was updated for the last time. When this value is set, only recipients which where updated since (inclusive) that given date will be included in the result. Only one value can be specified at the same time.

email

no

The email address of a recipient. When this value is set, only recipients with the given email address will be included in the result. More than one value can be specified with multiple query parameters or comma separated list.

attributes.attributeName

no

A wildcard query parameter where 'attributeName' is the name of a recipient attribute. This parameter can be used to filter recipients by their respective attributes. For example, the query attributes.familyName=Doe will return all recipients whose family name is Doe. The specified attribute has to exist and must be a custom user attribute. FLOATING_POINT_NUMBER attributes are currently not supported due to the imprecise nature of floating point numbers which inhibits a meaningful comparison for equality. TIME_ONLY attributes are also not supported at this point. Please also note, that the data type of the matching value (e.g. Doe) has to match the data type of the attribute. This parameter can be used for an arbitrary number of attributes (e.g. attributes.givenName=John&attributes.familyName=Doe).

trackingPermissionsForLists

no

Indicates the ids of the lists for which the tracking permissions should be included in the result. The specified lists must be of type STANDARD.

subscriptionDatesForLists

no

Indicates the ids of the lists for which the subscription dates should be included in the result. The specified lists must be of type STANDARD. This parameter cannot be specified simultaneously to the parameter unsubscriptionDatesForLists.

unsubscriptionDatesForLists

no

Indicates the ids of the lists for which the unsubscription dates should be included in the result. The specified lists must be of type STANDARD. If present, only the latest unsubscription date of the recipient on each requested list will be returned. This parameter cannot be specified simultaneously to the parameter unsubscriptionDatesForLists N.b. A full history of unsubscription dates for a specific recipient and list cannot be requested

filterId

no

When set to the ID of an target group, retrieves only recipients included in the specified groups conditions.

unavailable

no

The bounce flag of the recipient. Unavailable recipients have bounced and are not included in sending of mailing

emailContainsIgnoreCase

no

Allows finding of all recipients where email contains a specific string. Case insensitive

attributesContainsIgnoreCase.someAttribute

no

A wildcard query parameter where 'someAttribute' is the name of a recipient attribute. This parameter can be used to filter recipients by their respective attributes. For example:

Success query

Returns all recipients whose family name contains any case insensitive match of Doe

attributesContainsIgnoreCase.familyName=Doe

Returns all recipients whose family name contains any case insensitive match of Doe and last name contains any case insensitive match of LastNameValue

attributesContainsIgnoreCase.familyName=Doe&attributesContainsIgnoreCase.lastName=LastNameValue

Can be combined with attributes filter.

attributes.lastName=ExampleLstName&attributesContainsIgnoreCase.familyName=Doe

Failed query

Same key for attributes and attributesContainsIgnoreCase can not be used. Status code 400

attributes.lastName=ExampleLstName&attributesContainsIgnoreCase.lastName=Doe

Same key for attributesContainsIgnoreCase. Status code 400

attributesContainsIgnoreCase.lastName=ExampleLstName&attributesContainsIgnoreCase.lastName=Doe

Patching a recipient

PATCH /recipients/{id}

or

PATCH /recipients/{email}

A PATCH request with the following payload structure will replace the specified fields with the respective values. Violations of the constraints will lead to validation errors.

Please note, that for patching it is possible to address the recipient by either the recipient id or the unique email address.

The patch format in use is application/merge-patch+json which is standardized by RFC 7396. The basic rules of merge-patch are as follows:

  • Missing fields are ignored, their values will remain the same

  • Fields with non-null values will be replaced with the given value

  • Fields with null values will remove the value of the given field

In the context of patching a recipient, there are two exceptions to these rules, as stated in the payload structure description:

  • The email field must not be null, as a recipient must always have an email address

  • The attributes field must not be null to prevent all attributes from being removed

It is still possible to omit these fields. You can, for example, just update certain attributes without changing the email address of the recipient.

Please note, that the response to a PATCH request will always contain all attributes to enable you to check the consistency of the patched recipient.

Payload structure

Path Type Description Constraints

email

String

The new email address

  • Must be a valid email address

  • Must not be null

attributes

Object

Object containing the attributes to change

  • Must not be null

Creating a new Recipient

POST /recipients

A POST request with the payload structure as described here will create a new recipient on the global recipient list with the specified fields and the respective values. Violations of the constraints will lead to validation errors.

The email field must not be null, as a recipient must always have an email address. If the email address already exists, the recipient will not be created or otherwise changed. The attributes field must not be null.

The rules for attributes is as follows:

  • Missing fields are ignored, their values will be null

  • Fields with non-null values will be replaced with the given value

  • Fields with null values will have the value null

  • The data types in the attribute list must match the set data type of the existing attribute.

  • If a validation error occurs, the recipient will not be created.

Payload structure

Path Type Description Constraints

email

Test profiles

A test profile represents recipient data that can be used to render a mailing without relying on the data of real recipients. They are usually used to verify the rendering output or to render a mailing for archiving purposes with a specific set of data.

Depending on its type it can be used only in a specific list (LIST) or in all lists (GLOBAL) to render a mailing.

Test profile type

Every test profile has one of the following types:

Test profile type Description

GLOBAL

Used for test profiles that are defined in the system list

LIST

Used for test profiles that are defined in a specific list

Memberships

A membership represents the connection between a recipient and a mailing list. When recipients are subscribed to a mailing list they are members of that list.

Delete all subscribed memberships of a mailing list

DELETE /memberships{?listId,state,recipientAttributes.attributeName}

A DELETE request with a given list ID and the state parameter of SUBSCRIBED will delete all members from that list. Both parameters must be set and the value of the state parameter must be SUBSCRIBED or the request will fail.

Request parameters

Parameter Required Description

listId

yes

The ID of the list for which all memberships should be deleted. The target list must be a list of type STANDARD.

state

yes

The state of the memberships to be deleted. At the moment SUBSCRIBED is the only supported state.

recipientAttributes.attributeName

no

A wildcard query parameter where 'attributeName' is the name of a recipient attribute. This parameter can be used to filter recipients by their respective attributes. For example, the query recipientAttributes.familyName=Doe will delete all recipients where the value of the attribute familyName equals Doe. The specified attribute has to exist and must be a custom user attribute. FLOATING_POINT_NUMBER attributes are currently not supported due to the imprecise nature of floating point numbers which inhibits a meaningful comparison for equality. TIME_ONLY attributes are also not supported at this point. Please also note, that the data type of the matching value (e.g. Doe) has to match the data type of the attribute. This parameter can be used for an arbitrary number of attributes (e.g. recipientAttributes.givenName=John&recipientAttributes.familyName=Doe).

Example

Request
$ curl 'https://api.inxmail.com/customer/rest/v1/memberships?listId=5&state=SUBSCRIBED&recipientAttributes.attributeName=John' -i -X DELETE
Response
HTTP/1.1 204 No Content

Recipient subscriptions

Recipients can be subscribed to a mailing list via this API by creating a subscription event. This event will trigger the subscription mechanism which will produce a chain of events, representing the progress of the subscription. The latest event in the chain represents the current subscription status.

A subscription event can either be a successful subscription, a pending subscription (i.e. a subscription waiting for confirmation by the recipient) or a failed subscription. In the latter case, the event conveys the problem which caused the subscription to fail.

Event types

Every subscription event has one of the following types:

Event type Successful Description

PENDING_SUBSCRIPTION

Yes

A double opt-in subscription was triggered, the subscription still has to be confirmed

PENDING_SUBSCRIPTION_DONE

Yes

The recipient has confirmed the subscription and therefore is now subscribed to the specified list

VERIFIED_SUBSCRIPTION

Yes

The recipient has successfully been subscribed

MANUAL_SUBSCRIPTION

Yes

The recipient has successfully been subscribed by a user of the Inxmail Professional client application (1)

DUPLICATE_SUBSCRIPTION

Yes

Indicates that the recipient was already subscribed to the list specified in the request and has now been successfully resubscribed. Existing attributes are being overwritten by the ones provided in the request.

SUBSCRIPTION_TIMED_OUT

No

The recipient did not confirm the subscription in the configured time period

SUBSCRIPTION_ID_NOT_VALID

No

The confirmation could not be matched to the subscription request

SUBSCRIPTION_EMAIL_MISSMATCH

No

The confirmation could not be matched to the subscription request

BLACKLISTED

No

The subscription request was rejected because the email address of the recipient matches a blacklist entry

INVALID_ADDRESS_ERROR

No

The email address of the recipient to subscribe is not valid

SUBSCRIPTION_VERIFICATION_BOUNCED

No

The confirmation email sent to the recipient caused a bounce

SUBSCRIPTION_INTERNAL_ERROR

No

An internal error caused the subscription request to fail

LISTBOMBING_ATTEMPT

No

The anti list bombing service rejected the subscription request

(1) This includes the following actions in the Inxmail Professional Client.

  • Explicitly subscribing a recipient, that is present in the unsubscribed tab of that list. The 'resubscribe' function must be used.

  • Performing a manual 'force subscription' on a recipient, that is in a double opt in process and has not yet confirmed their subscription.

Adding a recipient through the recipient table does not constitute a manual subscription at the moment.

Subscribing a recipient to a list

POST /events/subscriptions

A POST request with the following payload structure will initiate the subscription process for the specified recipient and list. Violations of the constraints will lead to validation errors. Furthermore, the provided listId must correspond to an existing standard mailing list and the specified email must not match a blacklist entry.

If there is a field named trackingPermission in the payload the content will be interpreted to set the recipient’s tracking permission. The value GRANTED (case insensitive matching) sets the permission to track this recipient. If the field is missing or an empty value is given the tracking permission of the recipient will not be changed. All other values will be interpreted as no permission to track this recipient.

In order to take advantage of Inxmail’s inhouse anti-listbombing service, it is required to include the 'suppliedRemoteAddress' attribute in the queries payload. If this field is not included or left valueless, the API will be unable to determine if the IP belongs to the actual potential attacker or simply to the integration.

The provided attributes must fulfill the following conditions:

  • The given attribute must already exist

  • The format of the attribute value must be correct

If one of these conditions is not fulfilled, the recipient will neither be subscribed nor created.

When creating attributes with the REST API, you have to use the following json data types for each attribute data type:

Table 35. Attribute data types to JSON data types
Attribute data type JSON data Type JSON Example

Text

String

"attributes":{"firstName": "John"}

Date with time

String

"attributes":{"date with time": "2016-02-04T10:30:12Z"}

Float

"attributes":{"height": 3.14}

Boolean

Boolean

"attributes":{"male": true}

Note that, for Boolean attributes, empty values like null or "" will be handled as false.

Overwriting of attributes can be configured in the Subscriptions agent. If overwriting is allowed, provided attributes will overwrite existing ones while omitted attributes will remain the same.

The response will contain the resulting event type.

Recipient unsubscriptions

Recipients can be unsubscribed from a mailing list via this API by creating an unsubscription event. This event will trigger the unsubscription mechanism which will produce a chain of events, representing the progress of the unsubscription. The latest event in the chain represents the current unsubscription status.

An usubscription event can either be a successful unsubscription, a pending unsubscription (i.e. a unsubscription waiting for confirmation by the recipient) or a failed unsubscription. In the latter case, the event conveys the problem which caused the unsubscription to fail.

Event types

Every unsubscription event has one of the following types:

Event type Successful Description

PENDING_UNSUBSCRIPTION

Yes

A double opt-out unsubscription was triggered, the unsubscription still has to be confirmed

PENDING_UNSUBSCRIPTION_DONE

Yes

The recipient has confirmed the unsubscription and therefore is now unsubscribed from the specified list

VERIFIED_UNSUBSCRIPTION

Yes

The recipient has successfully been unsubscribed

MANUAL_UNSUBSCRIPTION

Yes

The recipient has successfully been unsubscribed by a user of the Inxmail Professional client application (1)

DUPLICATE_UNSUBSCRIPTION

No

The recipient was already unsubscribed from the list specified in the request

UNSUBSCRIPTION_TIMED_OUT

No

The recipient did not confirm the unsubscription in the configured time period

UNSUBSCRIPTION_ID_NOT_VALID

No

The confirmation could not be matched to the unsubscription request

UNSUBSCRIPTION_EMAIL_MISSMATCH

No

The confirmation could not be matched to the unsubscription request

UNSUBSCRIPTION_VERIFICATION_BOUNCED

No

The confirmation email sent to the recipient caused a bounce

UNSUBSCRIPTION_INTERNAL_ERROR

No

An internal error caused the unsubscription request to fail

LIST_UNSUBSCRIBE_HEADER_UNSUBSCRIPTION

Yes

The recipient has successfully been unsubscribed through a list unsubscribe header link.

NOT_IN_SYSTEM_UNSUBSCRIPTION

No

No successful unsubscription, because the recipient is not known to the system.

NOT_IN_LIST_UNSUBSCRIPTION

No

No successful unsubscription, because the recipient is not a member of the list (neither subscribed nor unsubscribed).

(1) This includes the following actions in the Inxmail Professional Client.

  • Explicitly unsubscribing a recipient, that is present in the subscribed tab of that list. The 'unsubscribe' function must be used.

  • Performing a manual 'force unsubscription' on a recipient, that is in a double opt out process and has not yet confirmed their unsubscription.

Deleting a recipient through the recipient table does not constitute a manual unsubscription at the moment.

Please note: If the setting "Enable unsubscription of deleted recipients" is enabled for the target list, recipients can be unsubscribed from that list although they are neither subscribed nor unsubscribed from that list. The resulting event type will be suffixed with '_NOT_IN_LIST' to indicate this special case. If this setting ist not enabled, an unsubscription of a recipient who is not subscribed to the target list will result in the event type 'NOT_IN_LIST_UNSUBSCRIPTION':

Event type Successful Description

LIST_UNSUBSCRIBE_HEADER_UNSUBSCRIPTION_NOT_IN_LIST

Yes

Successful unsubscription through a list unsubscribe header link where the recipient is not a member of the list (neither subscribed nor unsubscribed).

PENDING_UNSUBSCRIPTION_NOT_IN_LIST

Yes

Unconfirmed pending unsubscription where the recipient is not a member of the list (neither subscribed nor unsubscribed).

PENDING_UNSUBSCRIPTION_DONE_NOT_IN_LIST

Yes

Confirmed and successful pending unsubscription where the recipient is not a member of the list (neither subscribed nor unsubscribed).

VERIFIED_UNSUBSCRIPTION_NOT_IN_LIST

Yes

Verified and successful unsubscription from a list where the recipient is not a member of the list (neither subscribed nor unsubscribed).

Unsubscribing a recipient from a list

POST /events/unsubscriptions

A POST request with the following payload structure will initiate the unsubscription process for the specified recipient and list. Violations of the constraints will lead to validation errors. Furthermore, the provided listId must correspond to an existing standard mailing list.

The response will contain the resulting event type.

Payload structure

Path Type Description Constraints

listId

Number

The ID of the list the recipient shall be unsubscribed from

  • Must not be null

email

String

The email address of the recipient to unsubscribe

  • Must be a valid email address

  • Must not be null

source

String

An identifier for the source which caused this event

suppliedRemoteAddress

String

The actual supplied IP address of the unsubscription request

Target groups

Target groups are objects that contain a set of criteria to filter recipients. Typical criteria include a certain value in a recipient attribute, like the recipient is older than 40 years, or past behavior like the recipient opened the easter mailing. A multitude of criteria can be used to define target groups in Inxmail Professional.

The target group condition

Each target group contains a condition that describes attributes which recipients should meet. The condition is represented by the filterString in a target group. It is also referred to as filter statement.

A filter statement consists of at least one condition that recipients must meet. Multiple conditions may be composed to a filter using the AND/OR operators. There are four possible condition types which may be used:

  • Column condition: Compares the value of a column.

  • Recipient reaction condition: Checks if a recipient opened a mailing or clicked a link.

  • Filter membership condition: Checks if a recipient is a member of a filter.

  • Free expression: Special checks and comparisons.

The following operators may be used to compare columns to a given value or check their content:

  • column = value - checks for equality

  • column <> value - checks for inequality

  • column < value - checks if column value is less than given value

  • column ⇐ value - checks if column value is less than or equal to given value

  • column > value - checks if column value is greater than given value

  • column >= value - checks if column value is greater than or equal to given value

  • column IS_EMPTY - checks if column value is empty

  • column NOT_IS_EMPTY - checks if column value is not empty

The check values have to be specified in the same data type as the column value. The different date types must be specified as follows:

  • Text: "Text" (be sure to escape the double quotes)

  • Datetime: #01.01.1970 13:37:42# (be sure to put a single whitespace between date and time)

  • Date: #01.01.1970#

  • Time: #13:37:42#

  • Integer: 42

  • Floating point: 47.11

  • Boolean: TRUE or FALSE (attention: case sensitive!)

To specify the column which shall be compared it is best to use the Column("columnName") operator.

Using free expressions you can create more powerful statements. The operators which can be used in free expressions are:

  • column LIKE value: checks for equality (case insensitive)

  • column NOT_LIKE value: checks for inequality (case insensitive)

  • column STARTS_WITH value: checks if column value starts with given value

  • column NOT_STARTS_WITH value: checks if column value does not start with given value

  • column ENDS_WITH value: checks if column value ends with given value

  • column NOT_ENDS_WITH value: checks if column value does not end with given value

  • column CONTAINS value: checks if column value contains given value

  • column NOT_CONTAINS value: checks if column value does not contain given value

All of these operators may be used along with text columns. The check values of free expressions may contain wildcards to match a specific pattern. Note: The wildcard character used in free expressions is NOT the asterisk (*) but the percentage sign (%).

Recipient reaction conditions may be used to select recipients who reacted on a specific mailing or link. The operators used for recipient reaction conditions are:

  • HasOpened(mailingId): checks if the recipient opened the specified mailing

  • HasClickedAnyLink(mailingId): checks if the recipient clicked any link in the specified mailing

  • HasClicked(linkId): checks if the recipient clicked the specified link

Filter membership conditions may be used to select recipients who are (or aren’t) a member of another filter. The operators used for these checks are:

  • BelongsToGroup(filterName): checks if the recipient is a member of the specified filter.

  • BelongsNotToGroup(filterName): checks if the recipient is not a member of the specified filter.

Tracking permissions

A tracking permission is the permission of a recipient to allow the Inxmail Professional system to observe and process behaviour like clicking on links or the opening of images in a mailing received by that recipient.

Be aware, that this API only returns the actual permissions (i.e. permissions with state GRANTED), while the Inxmail Professional RPC API returns the tracking permission state of a given recipient on a given list.

Tracking permissions are only considered by the system when the related property is activated.

Retrieve a single tracking permission

Retrieve tracking permission collection

GET /tracking-permissions{?listIds,recipientIds}

or

GET /tracking-permissions{?listIds,emails}

A GET request on the tracking permissions resource will return the first page of tracking permissions.

Please note, that for retrieving a tracking permission it is possible to address the recipient by either the recipient id or the unique email address.

Since the two request parameters 'listIds' and 'recipientIds' (or 'email') are currently mandatory and can only take one id each, the result will contain zero or one objects.

The parameters 'recipientIds' and 'email' must not be used in combination. Exactly one of these parameters must be specified.

    }
  }
}

Delete tracking permission collection

DELETE /tracking-permissions{?listIds,recipientIds}

or

DELETE /tracking-permissions{?listIds,emails}

A DELETE request will remove a tracking permission. Technically the request will delete a collection of tracking permissions, however because of the required query parameters, effectively only one tracking permission is deleted.

Please note, that for deleting a tracking permission it is possible to address the recipient by either the recipient id or the unique email address.

Deleting an empty collection will also result in 204 No Content. If a list and recipient combination exists then a tracking permission event will be produced regardless whether a permission existed or not.

Example

Request with recipient id
$ curl 'https://api.inxmail.com/customer/rest/v1/tracking-permissions?listIds=7&recipientIds=11' -i -X DELETE
Request with recipient email
$ curl 'https://api.inxmail.com/customer/rest/v1/tracking-permissions?listIds=7&emails=max.mustermann@example.com' -i -X DELETE
Response
HTTP/1.1 204 No Content

Tracking Permission events

Every change to a recipient’s tracking permission on a specific list creates a tracking permission event. A tracking permission event can either be in order to grant a tracking permission or to deny it.

Every tracking permission event has an originator which identifies the person or entity who triggered the event. The originator also represents what action caused the event to occur.

Originators

An originator consists of a set of attributes which identify the person or entity who caused the event. These attributes are:

  • type

  • entity

  • action

  • identity

  • determinedRemoteAddress

  • suppliedRemoteAddress

  • message

The type attribute identifies the originator as defined through a combination of the action and entity attributes.

The entity attribute denotes the type of entity that caused the event. An originator can represent very different entities. For example, an originator can represent an Inxmail Professional user, an integration using this API or the Inxmail Professional application itself.

Each of these entities can perform various actions that cause a tracking permission to be granted or revoked. For example, an Inxmail Professional user can import tracking permissions, change them manually or unsubscribe the recipient which in turn revokes the tracking permission. The type of this action is conveyed using the action attribute.

To identify the person or entity who caused the event, the combination of the identity, determinedRemoteAddress and suppliedRemoteAddress attributes can be used.

The identity attribute contains information which can be used to identify the person or entity that caused the event, if available. What this information is depends on the type of the entity. It could, for example, be the ID of an Inxmail Professional user, the name of an integration or the ID of a recipient. See the list of entity types for instructions on how to interpret the identity attribute.

The determinedRemoteAddress attribute contains the remote address of the entity that caused the event, as determined by the Inxmail Professional application, if available.

The suppliedRemoteAddress attribute contains the remote address of the entity that caused the event, as provided by a third party, if available. In some cases, Inxmail Professional cannot determine the remote address of the person or entity trying to make a change, because another system (e.g. an integration which provides a subscription form) acts as a proxy of that entity. In these cases the proxy system may supply the correct remote address of the entity on whose behalf it is making the change. This address will be stored in the suppliedRemoteAddress attribute. Keep in mind this is an optional free text field and may contain values other than an IP address.

The message attribute may contain a message provided by the entity that caused the event.

Originator actions

The following table describes the available types of originator actions.

Originator action Description

TRACKING_PERMISSION_CLICK

A click on a tracking permission link caused the tracking permission to change.

CLICK

A click on a link, most notably an unsubscription or subscription verification link, which caused the tracking permission to change.

MANUAL_CHANGE

The tracking permission was changed manually (i.e. by a user).

SUBSCRIPTION_OR_UNSUBSCRIPTION

A recipient was either subscribed or unsubscribed, changing the tracking permission.

EMAIL_SUBSCRIPTION

A subscription was performed by sending a specially crafted email, thus changing the tracking permission.

EMAIL_UNSUBSCRIPTION

An unsubscription was performed by sending a specially crafted email, thus changing the tracking permission.

MANUAL_UNSUBSCRIPTION

A recipient was unsubscribed manually (i.e. by a user), thus revoking the tracking permission.

FORCED_SUBSCRIPTION

An incomplete subscription process was completed manually (i.e by a user).

FORCED_UNSUBSCRIPTION

An incomplete unsubscription process was completed manually (i.e by a user).

RECIPIENT_IMPORT

A recipient import was used to import tracking permissions.

SYNC

A recipient sync using the sync agent caused the tracking permission to change.

RECIPIENT_MANIPULATION

A recipient was manipulated through an integration, changing the tracking permission.

ACTION

An action affecting tracking permissions either directly or indirectly was triggered.

RECIPIENT_REMOVED_FROM_LIST

A recipient was removed from a list, thus removing (i.e. revoking) the associated tracking permission.

RECIPIENT_REMOVED_FROM_SYSTEM

A recipient was removed from the system, thus removing (i.e. revoking) the tracking permission.

LIST_REMOVED

A list was removed, thus removing (i.e. revoking) the tracking permission of all recipients who were subscribed to that list.

REMOVED_ORPHANED

If configured accordingly, removing a recipient from a list does not revoke that recipients tracking permission. If this setting is reverted, the tracking permissions of recipients who are no longer subscribed to the affected list (i.e. orphaned) will be removed.

JSP_SUBSCRIPTION

A subscription was performed by using a JSP, thus changing the tracking permission.

UNKNOWN

The action that caused the event is unknown.

Retrieve tracking permission event collection

GET /events/tracking-permissions{?listIds,recipientIds,startDate,endDate,embedded,recipientAttributes,eventOriginatorTypes}

or

GET /events/tracking-permissions{?listIds,emails,startDate,endDate,embedded,recipientAttributes,eventOriginatorTypes}

A GET request on the tracking permission events resource will return the first page of tracking permission events.

Please note: The request parameters to filter recipients is in plural. However, only one recipient can be filtered per request at the moment. This naming scheme is a measure to future-proof the API. If there is demand to filter multiple recipients per request we will add that feature in the future without changing the name of the parameter, hence keeping compatibility.

Please also keep in mind, that for retrieving a tracking permission event it is possible to address the recipient by either the recipient id or the recipient email address. The parameters 'recipientIds' and 'emails' must not be used in combination. Using both in one request will lead to a validation error.

Recipient Import

The most efficient and safe way to sync recipients into Inxmail Professional is to use the CSV import capabilities. To use this feature, you have to construct a CSV document which can then be uploaded directly to the Inxmail Professional server. There is no need for an intermediary file server in this scenario.

Please note, that to ensure a consistent state of recipient data, all recipient imports are performed sequentially, in order of arrival. This includes recipient imports performed by other REST API calls, as well as those performed by the import automation feature or imports triggered manually by a user of the Inxmail Professional Client.

Also note, that the import is performed asynchronously. The result of an import request is a status monitor which can be used to check the status of the import, as well as some progress information regarding the number of lines imported thus far and the number of lines which could not be imported to date.

The maximum size of a CSV file to be imported is 128 MB by default, but can be configured. Exceeding the maximum upload size leads to a response with the error code 413, which means that the payload is too large to handle.

Import multiple recipients by uploading a CSV file

POST /imports/recipients{?listId,resubscribe,truncate,importConflictMode,trackingPermissionConflictMode}

A POST request with a, potentially compressed, CSV file multipart will trigger a recipient import which uses the CSV file as source.

Request structure

To upload the CSV file the request has to be a multipart request (e.g. multipart/form-data) with a request part called file. This request part must contain either a proper CSV file or a gzip compressed version of a proper CSV file. In the latter case, the Content-Disposition header must include the filename attribute which must end in .csv.gz. For example: Content-Disposition: form-data; name="file"; filename="import.csv.gz". See the curl examples for reference.

Required CSV file structure

In order for a CSV file to be imported successfully, it must adhere to a certain structure. First of all, the file encoding must be UTF-8.

The first line of the CSV file must contain the names of the attributes to import. There must be a column containing the email address and its name must be email. The name of the optional column containing the tracking permission must be trackingPermission. All other columns must match the name of the corresponding recipient attribute in Inxmail Professional. There must not be an empty column name and no two or more columns are allowed to share the same name.

The column separator has to be a semicolon (;) and the text delimiter a double quote ("). If you wish to use a double quote inside the value for a text attribute, you have to escape it with a backslash (e.g. "text with \"quotes\" inside").

Dates and times have to be provided in ISO-8601 format and UTC+0 (see also Date/Time format and time zone). The following patterns are in use for the different date/time types:

Date/Time type Pattern

Date with time

YYYY-MM-DD’T’HH:MM:SSZ

Date only

YYYY-MM-DD

Time only

HH:MM:SSZ

For numbers, if you wish to include a thousands separator, use a comma (,). For floating point numbers, use a dot (.) as decimal separator.

For booleans, the text value true will evaluate to the boolean value true. Any other text, including empty value, will evaluate to the boolean value false.

An empty CSV token (;;), the empty string (;"";) and a string consisting of one or more whitespaces (;" ";) will be interpreted as an empty value.

Query parameters

When no further query parameters are present, the default behaviour is to import the recipients into the system but don’t subscribe them to any list which they are not already a member of.

Please note, that recipients in Inxmail Professional are stored uniquely and not per list. This means that an import into the system does change the affected recipient attributes of any existing recipient in all lists they are members of (either subscribed or unsubscribed).

To manipulate the behaviour of the import, you can use the following query parameters:

Parameter Required Description

listId

no

The ID of the target list to import the recipients into, by subscribing them to the list. The target list must be a list of type STANDARD. If this parameter is omitted, the recipients will only be imported into the system and not subscribed to any list.

resubscribe

no

If true any recipient in the CSV file who was previously unsubscribed from the target list will be re-subscribed. This parameter only takes effect if the listId parameter is in use. The default is false.

truncate

no

If true all subscribed members of the target list will be removed from the list prior to the import. Use with caution. This parameter only takes effect if the listId parameter is in use. The default is false.

importConflictMode

no

Possible values are KEEP_EXISTING,OVERWRITE_EXCEPT_EMPTY,OVERWRITE_FULL and UPDATE. The default value is OVERWRITE_FULL. For more information see here

trackingPermissionConflictMode

no

Possible values are KEEP_EXISTING,OVERWRITE_EXCEPT_EMPTY and OVERWRITE_FULL. The default value is OVERWRITE_FULL. For more information see here

An import affects both recipient attributes and tracking permissions. The default value of importConflictMode is OVERWRITE_FULL, but can be modified by specifying one of the following import conflict modes:

Import Conflict Mode Description

KEEP_EXISTING

No recipient attributes of an existing recipient will be changed by the import.

OVERWRITE_EXCEPT_EMPTY

Every recipient attribute will be overwritten with the corresponding value in the CSV file, assuming the value in the CSV file is not empty.

OVERWRITE_FULL

Every recipient attribute will be overwritten with the corresponding value in the CSV file, even if the value in the CSV file is empty. Keep in mind that an empty value in the CSV file will lead to the deletion of an existing recipient attribute value. Empty boolean values in the CSV file will be interpreted as false.

UPDATE

No existing existing recipient attributes will be overwritten. If the value of a recipient attribute is empty, but is not empty in the CSV file, it will add the value to the recipient attribute.

The default value of trackingPermissionConflictMode is OVERWRITE_FULL, but can be modified by specifying one of the following tracking permission conflict modes:

Tracking Permission Conflict Mode Description

KEEP_EXISTING

No tracking permissions of an existing recipient will be changed by the import.

OVERWRITE_EXCEPT_EMPTY

Every tracking permission will be overwritten with the corresponding value in the CSV file, assuming the value in the CSV file is not empty. The value GRANTED (case insensitive matching) sets the permission to track this recipient. All other values than GRANTED will be interpreted as no permission to track this recipient.

OVERWRITE_FULL

Every tracking permission will be overwritten with the corresponding value in the CSV file, even if the value in the CSV file is empty. The value GRANTED (case insensitive matching) sets the permission to track this recipient. All other values than GRANTED will be interpreted as no permission to track this recipient. An empty value will revoke the tracking permission.

Response structure

The response to an import request is the content of a newly generated status monitor for that import. As the import is performed asynchronously, you can use this status monitor to check the current status of the import.

For a description of the structure of the status monitor, see section Response Structure of chapter Observe the status of a recipient import.

Bounces

‘Bounces’ are emails that are returned to the sender because they could not be delivered for some reason.

Inxmail Professional automatically assigns all bounces to specific categories ('hard_bounce', 'soft_bounce', 'unknown_bounce').

Bounce category

Every bounce has one of the following category:

Bounce category Description

SOFT

Soft bounces generally exist if there are temporary errors associated with the delivery on the recipient side. This is the case with full email inboxes, for example.

HARD

Hard bounces generally exist if there are permanent errors associated with the delivery on the recipient side. This is the case with invalid email addresses, for example.

UNKNOWN

Unknown bounces generally exist if the mail could not be categorized by inxmail.

Retrieve single bounce

GET /bounces/{id}

A GET request with an ID parameter will return the requested bounce.

Clicks

A click is a recipient reaction which gets created after a recipient has clicked a link.

If person-based tracking consent setting is active on a certain list, clicks will only show the real recipient ID if the recipient of this click has granted consent to tracking. Otherwise the recipient ID of this click is omitted. The person-based tracking consent can also be turned off on a certain list. In that case the correct recipient ID of a click is always present.

Web beacon hits

A web beacon is one of various techniques used on web pages or email, to unobtrusively (usually invisibly) allow checking that a user has accessed some content. In Inxmail Professional a web beacon hit is the recipient reaction which gets created after a recipient has opened a mailing and actually has accessed the content of the mailing, e.g. an image in this mailing.

If person-based tracking consent setting is active on a certain list, web beacon hits will only show the real ID and email address of the recipient, but only if the recipient of this web beacon hit has granted consent to tracking. Otherwise the recipient’s ID and email address of this web beacon hit is null. The person-based tracking consent can also be turned off on a certain list. In that case the correct recipient’s ID and email address of a web beacon hit is always present.

Retrieve single web beacon hit

GET /web-beacon-hits/{id}

A GET request with an ID parameter will return the requested web beacon hit.

Blacklist entries

The blacklist feature in Inxmail Professional is used to block certain recipients from entering the system. The blacklist consists of individual entries each declaring a pattern that matches email addresses to block. Any email address that matches the pattern of one of the blacklist entries will be blocked from entering the system.

A pattern may contain the wildcard character * matching any number of characters. The following table demonstrates this feature with some examples:

Pattern Description

john.doe@example.com

Blocks the address john.doe@example.com

*@example.com

Blocks all addresses under the domain example.com

john.doe@*

Blocks all addresses with a local part of john.doe
