Subscriptions

Create / update subscriptions

API Endpoint: https://api.cleverpush.com/#api-Subscriptions-SyncSubscription

Example request (email channel)

You can provide the email address (required) and the opt-in form ID (optional, but recommended). The opt-in form ID is required to send double opt-in emails which are used to confirm the ownership of the user's email.

You can find the email opt-in form ID in the CleverPush channel settings when editing a form (the last part in the URL): https://app.cleverpush.com/en/app/project/XXXXXXXXXXXXX/channel/XXXXXXXXXXXXX/opt-in-forms/OPT_IN_FORM_ID_HERE

You can also optionally include topics (IDs of topics) in the request to indicate which newsletters the user is interested in.

{
  "emailAddress": "user@example.com",
  "emailOptInFormId": "OPT_IN_FORM_ID",
  "topics": ["TOPIC_ID_1", "TOPIC_ID_2"]
  …
}

Example response (double opt in needed):

{
  …
  "emailConfirmationNeeded": true
}

Example response (double opt in not needed):

{
  …
  "emailConfirmationNeeded": false
}

Working with external User IDs

You can save external User ID's to subscriptions when creating/updating a subscription. You just need to include the customAttributes parameter with the user_id field inside.

{
  "customAttributes": {
    "user_id": "123456789"
  }
  …
}

The user_id attribute needs to be created before in the CleverPush channel settings under attributes. You can also include other attributes inside the request.

Date attributes

You can also provide dates which can be used for segmentation or other automation features within CleverPush. Please provide dates always in ISO-8601 format. Date attribute IDs usually contain date or end with _at;

{
  "customAttributes": {
    "birthdate": "2001-11-24T19:28:18.071Z"
  }
  …
}

Get subscription by attribute (external user_id)

API Endpoint: https://api.cleverpush.com/#api-Subscriptions-GetSubscription

Example request: GET https://api.cleverpush.com/subscription?channelId=XXXXXXXX&attributeId=user_id&attribute_value=123456789
