The following pages grant you an overview of the SOAP-API. This documentation requires knowledge about SOAP and uses simple PHP examples. Please search the internet for suitable documentations, if you are not familiar with SOAP.

What can you do with the SOAP-API:

• synchronize subscribers from other software with Backclick automatically

• compose and dispatch campaigns
• poll statistics for campaigns
• trigger dispatch of Double-Opt-In E-Mails

What is the use of this API?

The API was developed to import data into Backclick. Making the administrator interface redundant was not the intention. For example, in case a customer modifies his data in your system you can use this API to synchronize these changes with Backclick. But, the information of a customer unsubscribing (via Backclick) will not be forwarded to your system by Backclick.

• Backclick is not a CRM, consider carefully, if you have to synchronize all your customer data with Backclick.
• This API was not developed to handle a lot of data at once. If possible, focus on single statements and do not try to modify thousands of data at once.
• In case you want to synchronize a lot of data do not initiate multiple requests to the API. Wait until one request has finished and start the next one afterwards.

How about some examples?

We provide you with an example for each feature. These examples are not intended to be programmed perfectly. They are meant to show you how the API works. You can download example data for each feature from the features description.
