sgapiAddContactToList(%%listID, %%email, %%fields, %%customfields)

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.

Parameters

  • %%email* - the email of the contact you'd like to add
  • %%listID* - the ListID of your email campaign. You can find the List ID in your URL by going to Account > Email Lists and clicking into the email list. You'll see the variable gid=#.
  • %%fields is an array of the contact fields you'd like to update.
  • %%customfields is an array of the custom invite fields you'd like to update

Example

This great for collecting contact information in one survey and updating a Contact List with that new contact information in another survey. It allows you to gather all your information and automatically set up a follow up list to easily send follow up surveys to your respondents!

In the below example we use sgapiAddContactToList to update contact list 116 with the the email, first name, last name and birthdate collected in the survey.

%%listid = 116;
%%email = sgapiGetValue(2);
%%firstname = sgapiGetValue(3);
%%laststname = sgapiGetValue(4); 
%%birthdate = sgapiGetValue(10); 

%fields = array(‘sFirstName’ => %%firstname, ‘sLastName’ => %%lastname); 
%%customfields = array(‘birthdate’ => %%birthdate); 

sgapiAddContactToList(%%listid, %%email, %%fields, %%customfields);
