Test a Bulletin

PUT to /api/account/ACCOUNT_CODE/bulletins/BULLETIN_ID/sendtest

Example Input
<bulletin>
   <email_addresses type="array">
      <email_address>ENTER@ADDRESS.COM</email_address>
      <email_address>ENTER@ADDRESS.COM</email_address>
      <email_address>ENTER@ADDRESS.COM</email_address>
   </email_addresses>
</bulletin>
Elements
<email_addresses>

This field must include the type="array" attribute. This field contains nested <email_address> elements, in which you will enter each individual email address that should be on your list of bulletin recipients.

If omitted or no email addresses are included, the test bulletin will be sent to all of the email addresses in the "My Contacts" list of the Web Service Administrator making the API request. "My Contacts" includes all the email addresses to which an administrator has ever sent a test bulletin.

<email_address> Include this element for every email address to which you want to send the test bulletin. We recommend creating dedicated generic email addresses for API testing.
Recipients

A copy of the test bulletin will always be sent to the email address of the Web Service Administrator making the API request.

If the input includes an email address that does not already exist in the Web Service Administrator's "My Contacts", it will be added.

Example Output
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<bulletin>
  <to-param>10391</to-param>
  <bulletin-uri>/api/account/ACCOUNT/bulletins/10391.xml</bulletin-uri>
</bulletin>
