Add subscription with custom fields using API

[reinhardfuehricht]

Hi!

I am trying to add subscriptions using PHP and CURL. I managed to fill email, first name and last name, but custom fields are not set.

Here are the things I tried. None of them works except email, FIRST_NAME, LAST_NAME.

$subscription = [
        'email' => $email,
        'FIRST_NAME' => $this->gp['first_name'],
        'LAST_NAME' => $this->gp['last_name'],
        //'REQUIRE_CONFIRMATION' => 1
];
$subscription['customHerrXtfmedw6'] = 1;
$subscription['custom_herr_xtfmedw6'] = 1;
$subscription['CUSTOM_HERR_XTFMEDW6'] = 1;
$subscription['custom_Herr_Xtfmedw6'] = 1;

$subscription['HerrXtfmedw6'] = 1;
$subscription['herr_xtfmedw6'] = 1;
$subscription['HERR_XTFMEDW6'] = 1;
$subscription['Herr_Xtfmedw6'] = 1;

$subscription['xtfmedw6'] = 1;
$subscription['XTFMEDW6'] = 1;
$subscription['Xtfmedw6'] = 1;

$subscription['merge_customHerrXtfmedw6'] = 1;
$subscription['merge_custom_herr_xtfmedw6'] = 1;
$subscription['MERGE_CUSTOM_HERR_XTFMEDW6'] = 1;
$subscription['merge_custom_Herr_Xtfmedw6'] = 1;

$subscription['merge_HerrXtfmedw6'] = 1;
$subscription['merge_herr_xtfmedw6'] = 1;
$subscription['MERGE_HERR_XTFMEDW6'] = 1;
$subscription['merge_Herr_Xtfmedw6'] = 1;

$subscription['merge_xtfmedw6'] = 1;
$subscription['MERGE_XTFMEDW6'] = 1;
$subscription['merge_Xtfmedw6'] = 1;

The customer creates the custom fields and I have no access to the administration interface. I only received an access token for using the API.

Can you please tell me how to do it?

Kind regards

I have come across the same problem. It seems the API doesn't process first and lastname. I will check the code, if I can find out why. Without high hopes I still have to ask, Have you found a solution? ;)

I managed to get it done. Here is example code of the project:

$subscription = [
    'email' => '[email protected]',
    'FIRST_NAME' => 'John',
    'LAST_NAME' => 'Doe',
    'REQUIRE_CONFIRMATION' => 1
];

//For simple custom fields, use field name and value like this:
$subscription['myfield'] = 'myvalue';

//For dropdown fields, use field name and value as key and "1" as value like this:
$subscription['myfield_myvalue1'] = '1';

//Then send it:
$ch = curl_init();

curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_URL, $subscribeUrl);
curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_HTTPHEADER, ['Content-Type: application/json']);
curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_POST, 1);

curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_POSTFIELDS, json_encode($subscription, JSON_HEX_QUOT | JSON_HEX_TAG | JSON_HEX_AMP | JSON_HEX_APOS));

curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_RETURNTRANSFER, true);

$response = curl_exec($ch);

curl_close($ch);

Hope this helps you.

thx, managed to get it done. Aparently the parameters were different than stated in the documentation.
