sgapiAddContactToInvite(%%linkID, %%email, %%fields, %%customfields, %dupsok)

Important Update to Custom Scripting

The CustomScript Action now supports the LUA programming language. Visit our NEW Lua Scripting Resources!


  1. New accounts (created after October 29, 2018) will only have the option to use Lua in scripts.
  2. As of October 29, 2018 Custom Scripting Actions will default to Lua as the scripting type in the Custom Scripting Action for accounts created before this date. You will be able to switch to the Legacy Custom Scripting; though we highly encourage using Lua.
  3. In the long term, Legacy Custom Scripting Actions will be switched to read-only. The exact date on this is to be determined; we will send notifications well ahead of time.

Example

This function is great if you're collecting contact information in one survey, but want to set up an email campaign with that new contact information in another. It allows you to gather all your information and automatically set up a follow up survey email campaign, so you could easily send follow up surveys!

In this example we'll add a contact to the email campaign with ID 123456. linkID is the inviteID and can be found in your email campaign. The contact information will come from fields in the survey.Question IDs 2-5 will contain the email address, first name, last name, and organization respectively.

%%linkID = 123456;
%%emailaddress = sgapiGetValue(2);
%%field = array();
%%field['sFirstName'] = sgapiGetValue(3);
%%field['sLastName'] = sgapiGetValue(4);
%%field['sOrganization'] = sgapiGetValue(5);

sgapiAddContactToInvite(%%linkID, %%emailaddress, %%field);
