Notifications

The Notifications object records are uniquely identified by the TrackingId field, the Trackings object foreign key. To import data to the Notifications object, you must map the TrackingId field.

Emails and SMSes fields in the Notifications objects are the arrays. When importing data to these fields, you must map their values in an array format.

The INSERT operation against the Emails and SMSes fields of the Notifications object adds new values to the existing arrays.

For example, there is a Trackings record with the related record in the Notifications object, where the Emails = [“[email protected]”]. You add two more values “[email protected]” and “[email protected]” to the array. To do this, you must specify the Emails value in the following format: [“[email protected]”,”[email protected]”]. As a result, the Emails field will look like: [“[email protected]”,”[email protected]”,”[email protected]”].

The UPDATE operation is used when you want to delete the values from the Emails or SMSes fields.

For example, there is a Trackings record in the Notifications object, where the Emails = [“[email protected]”,”[email protected]”,”[email protected]”]. You remove only one value “[email protected]” and leave the other two as is. To do this, you must specify the Emails value in the following format: [“[email protected]”]. As a result, the Emails field will look like: [“[email protected]”,”[email protected]”].
