Required:

send_campaign:

• campaign_html : The full HTML of your campaign
• campaign_name: The name of your campaign - campaign name must pass our sanitization checks.

Campaigns are normally processed in under 2 minutes, in most instances in a few seconds. But in some cases with very large campaigns with lots of images and links it can take longer to check those links for blacklists, redirects. image sizes and more. Depending on the server where those links resources are located it can take longer. The send campaign, will return a campaign ID once we received it, you can use that campaign ID to check on the status, and retrieve your campaign when it’s finished processing or you can supply us a webhook URL and we will send the results to you automatically.

Optional:
