Remote Lists
Subscribers are not available on Remote Lists. API calls to these endpoints will return an error message if attempted on a Remote List.
Get a list of subscribers
Get the details for all subscribers on this list.
URL
GET https://app.kasplo.com/ga/api/v2/mailing_lists/:mailing_list_id/subscribers
Request Parameters
mailing_list_id |
The |
Pagination
This endpoint returns its records paginated. The subscriber records will be sorted by their id
in ascending order.
Querying without any additional parameters will return the first page. The following extra parameters may be specified.
page |
The page number to retrieve (starts at |
page_token |
The page token to retrieve. This is explained below. |
per_page |
The number of records to return per page (default |
There are two ways to page through the data:
-
Sequentially increment
page
to specify additional page numbers until you have retrieved every page of the results. When subscribers are added or removed the page boundaries may shift, and it’s possible that some subscribers will be missed between pages or returned on two adjacent pages. -
Provide in
page_token
thenext_page_token
value returned by the most recent call to this API which got the previous page. This guarantees that the next returned page will start immediately after the previous page, with all pages being contiguous and non-overlapping. When anext_page_token
of null is returned, that indicates that this is the last page.
If you are presenting a list of pages to the user, you probably want to use
page
. If you want to retrieve all of the data, page_token
is likely what you want. (When retrieving all data, the page_token
method allows Kasplo to more efficiently provide the data.)
Both page
and page_token
may not be specified in the same request.
Response
The response will be an array of subscriber hashes, the same as returned by the Get subscriber details endpoint documented below.

In order for an autoresponder to be triggered for later sending, the following must be true:
- The
skip_autoresponders
field must not be enabled. - The autoresponder must trigger on Subscription.
- The autoresponder trigger must be configured with the
Run From API?
option enabled. - If specified, the
autoresponder_filter
field will reduce the list of autoresponders that are run to those whose name matches the glob, where*
is a wildcard character. - If specified, the
autoresponder_exclude_reacted
field will cause all autoresponders to be skipped if any autoresponder remaining at this point contains a reaction in the queue for this subscriber. This only evaluates autoresponders that: (a) are configured withRun from API?
as true (step 3), (b) match the pattern provided inautoresponder_filter
if present (step 4), and (c) are paused or un-paused.
Response
A successful response will return the subscriber record using the format described in the “Get subscriber details” section of the API.
A failure will return a standard error response with an explanation of what went wrong.

Trigger Autoresponders on a Subscriber
This endpoint will trigger autoresponders for a single subscriber. The list of autoresponders to trigger may be provided by name or by ID.
Any autoresponder(s) may be triggered using this endpoint - it is not restricted to just autoresponders configured to use an “API” trigger.
If any error is returned by this method, no autoresponders will be triggered.
URL
POST /ga/api/v2/mailing_lists/:mailing_list_id/subscribers/:subscriber_id_or_email/trigger_autoresponders

Request Payload
The body of this request should be a JSON hash with the following keys.
create_missing_subscriber boolean — default false |
Studio can only send autoresponders to subscribers that are on the mailing list. If the subscriber is not found on the mailing list and this flag is true, the subscriber will be added to the mailing list.
NOTE: On-subscription autoresponders that are configured to respond to subscribers created on the API will be triggered on subscribers created due to this flag. This can be prevented with the WARNING: If you are also using this mailing list to send campaigns, you need to make sure you're not implicitly subscribing people to get mailing list messages from you, if that's not what you want. |

Response
A successful response will contain the following keys.
