Adding Subscriber to Mailing List

Use the add-member operation to add a new subscriber to a mailing list specified by name or ID.

Request Packet Structure

A request XML packet adding a subscriber includes the add-member operation node:

<packet>
<maillist>
<add-member>
...  
</add-member>
</maillist>
</packet>

The add-member node is presented by the MaillistAddMemberInputType type (maillist.xsd), and its graphical representation is as follows:

• The filter node is required. It specifies the filtering rule. You can subscribe a person specified by id to multiple mailing lists in a single packet. For information on this filter, refer to the Available Filters section. Data type: MaillistSimpleFilterType (maillist.xsd).
• The id node is required. It specifies the subscriber's e-mail address. Data type: emailType (common.xsd).

Remarks

You can add multiple subscribers to a mailing list using different filtering rules in a single packet. Add as many add-member operations as the number of different filtering rules to be applied.

<add-member>
   ...
</add-member>
   ...
<add-member>
   ...
</add-member>

Important: When creating request packets, put nodes and elements in the order they follow in the packet structure.
