REST Email Marketing API Documentation

Recipients — AddOne

Add or update one recipient, optionally providing demographic fields. Existing recipients will have their demographics undated, but their unsubscribe status will not be changed so you don't need to fear re-subscribing someone based on this import. Empty demographic values do not override existing data. Recipients cannot be added or updated when using a Foreign Members table. Provide the topics that the person should be subscribed to. If the recipient already exists, they will not be unsubscribed from topics that are not listed.
