Add Subscribers to a List

You can use SOAP API to add subscribers to a subscriber, publication, or suppression list. You can add a subscriber to a list when you create their subscriber record, or you can update an existing subscriber to add them to a list.

If your use case requires you to add a batch of subscribers to a list, start by performing an Update operation. After that, perform a Create operation to create the contacts that weren’t found during the Update operation.

Use these sample SOAP envelopes as guidelines for creating requests that suit your use case.

This example shows how to create a subscriber and add that subscriber to a list.

The body of the SOAP response contains information about the subscriber that you created and the list that they were added to.

Add an existing subscriber to a list by updating the subscriber record. This sample request updates the List.ID property for a specified contact.

The response body includes information about the updated subscriber.
