New API method: Delete a campaign

Published June 18, 2009 by Mathew Patterson

Thanks to suggestions from you guys, and the hard work of the development team, the Campaign Monitor API continues to get more powerful. Today's update adds the ability to delete campaigns from your account via the API.

You can delete both drafts and already sent campaigns, which comes in handy when you've sent a few test emails, or created a draft campaign that didn't work out. Find out exactly how it works by reading the Campaign.Delete method documentation. Thanks to our new developer James who made it all happen.

Add that to the bunch of API methods added earlier this year, and we are starting to see some very cool API integrations happening. Not everyone can write API integration code themselves, but there might be a plugin you can use to hook your Campaign Monitor account up to your other tools.

Keep an eye on the blog for more plugins and integrations over the coming months.

    It’s great how proactive and responsive you guys are. :-)
    Next API method please: Subscriber.AddBulk or a modification to Subscriber.Add so that we don’t have to call it on a loop when we want to add a bunch of subscribers in one go. Why? Because we use CampaignMonitor as our mailing engine and manage things on our own database. Each time we want to do a mailing it’s using a different SELECT on our database so we empty the campaign and fill it with the new recipients. That’s time-consuming when you have to add each subscriber one at a time.

    Completely agree with you Paul! I have been buggin the CM support team with this feature request for months now. It such a waste that a great product like CM doesn’t support this (yet ;-). We also really need this. We’re forced to look for alternatives now… (I really don’t want this since I love CM so much, so please!)
