Add Contacts to a List via CSV

This API allows you to add new contacts in a list using a CSV. The CSV must be present in local to the client triggering the API. The API uploads the contacts in asynchronous manner. The status of upload, at any point of time, can be fetched by hitting the URL (present in summary section of the API response). 

Maximum of 1 Lakh contacts can be added (if the type is static) in a list using this API. If the list already exists and has contacts, then it can allow addition of new contacts only up till maximum of 1 Lakh. 

CSV should contain 'number' (in E.164 format) as a mandatory column, while other optional columns are: first_name, last_name, company_name, email & tag. Custom field is not allowed to be added against contacts, in this method. The contact parameters can be referred from the API 'Create Contacts'.

Sample_CSV_Contacts_Upload

If the type is selected as dynamic, a maximum of 5 lakhs contacts can be uploaded with upto 5 variables. Please make sure the filz size is less than 60 MB and type should be dynamic.

  • Replace <your_api_key> and <your_api_token> with the API key and token created by you.
  • Replace <your_sid> with your “Account sid”
  • Replace <subdomain> with the region of your account
    1. <subdomain> of Singapore cluster is @api.exotel.com
    2. <subdomain> of Mumbai cluster is @api.in.exotel.com

Get Bulk Lists

This API allows you get details of lists within an account. This API also allows you to search a particular list by list name and also sort the fetched response by name or date created.

It's a bulk API which which works with offset & limit parameters to fetch specific set of data.

GET

https://<your_api_key>:<your_api_token><subdomain>/v2/accounts/<your_sid>/lists?limit=<limit>&offset=<offset>

  • Replace <your_api_key> and <your_api_token> with the API key and token created by you.
  • Replace <your_sid> with your “Account sid”
  • Replace <subdomain> with the region of your account
    1. <subdomain> of Singapore cluster is @api.exotel.com
    2. <subdomain> of Mumbai cluster is @api.in.exotel.com

<your_api_key> , <your_api_token> and <your_sid> are available in the API settings page of your Exotel Dashboard

Request Query Parameters:

Parameter Name   Mandatory/Optional Value

offset

optional

This is the position in the dataset of a particular record. By specifying offset, you retrieve a subset of records starting with the offset value. Offset is zero-based i.e. the 10th record is at offset 9

limit

optional

number of records on single page default:20

name

optional

Search on lists name 

sort_by

optional

This indicates in what order the lists records are sorted in the API response. By default records are sorted by DateCreated in ascending order. However, you can override the same in following way for ascending order: Eg: date_created:asc or name:asc

Delete Contact from a List

This API allows you to remove a contact from a list. It doesn't delete the contact from the campaign address-book, rather just removes the association from the list. To delete the contact permanently, use the API 'Delete a Contact'

DELETE

https://<your_api_key>:<your_api_token><subdomain>/v2/accounts/<your_sid>/lists/<list_sid>/contacts/<contact_sid>

  • Replace <your_api_key> and <your_api_token> with the API key and token created by you.
  • Replace <your_sid> with your “Account sid”
  • Replace <subdomain> with the region of your account
    1. <subdomain> of Singapore cluster is @api.exotel.com
    2. <subdomain> of Mumbai cluster is @api.in.exotel.com

<your_api_key> , <your_api_token> and <your_sid> are available in the API settings page of your Exotel Dashboard
