Can the API be used to import .csv files?

Hi,

We want to use Sendy to take a daily .csv export from Sales Force and from one column (we'd create some service inbetween which would pull from SF and push to Sendy) take an email address with names etc and update. It would mean that if a constant exists it 1) either overwrites it / leaves it / does NOT duplicate 2) if it doesn't exist, create a new

The API documentation seems limited hence why I'm asking this question.

Many thanks.

    Hi @dsymons,

    The subscribe API just adds a user to a specific list. Anything else around that will need to programmed by you. For example, you can write a CSV import script that does what you need while using the subscribe API to pass data into any list in Sendy.

    Thanks.

    Best regards,
    Ben

    Thanks for the reply.. and if there is an existing entry, is it case insensitive and will simply see there is already an entry and will not overwrite it, or what is the behaviour? This would be a full upload of contacts each time, not differential.

    It's not case sensitive as it won't make sense for email matching to be case sensitive.
