Opens a SUPPRESS settings page for the advertiser, to be shown in an iframe or a new window from your platform. The page is rendered by this request itself rather than by a redirect into a SUPPRESS session, so it does not depend on the session cookie described under Embedded pages. The advertiser is created first if it does not exist, exactly as Sync an advertiser, list, campaign and affiliate would. The Opt-Out List named by optout_id must already exist.

The s parameter selects the page:

s Page Notes
omitted or advertiser Advertiser settings: contact details, which file formats affiliates may download, the opt-out page. Network accounts only. On an Enterprise account the default page is the list settings.
optoutlist Opt-Out List settings for the list named by optout_id. Requires optout_id.
addEmails Upload a file of opt-outs into the list named by optout_id. Requires optout_id. Also reachable as action=add_emails.

The response is an HTML page. Requests with an unknown s value answer failed,Invalid sub-action.

Values in the check_hash

In this order, skipping any parameter you do not send: action, ref, onid, advertiser_id, advertiser_name, optout_id, campaign_id, campaign_name. Do not send optout_name: it is not used, but a sent value is still hashed after optout_id.

Failures

failed,Invalid sub-action above, and the common failures listed under Sync an advertiser, list, campaign and affiliate for creating the advertiser and finding the list.

ref
required
string
<= 5 characters

Your tracking platform’s Reference Code (PRC), issued by Optizmo when the integration was set up.

Example
pqmpg
onid
required
string

The ONID of the SUPPRESS account the request is for. The account holder finds it on the Account Settings page in SUPPRESS under Affiliate Tracking System, and copies it into your platform.

Example
662b824d577c74b57bf1c4fc647b79c7
advertiser_id
required
string
<= 40 characters

Your platform’s id for the advertiser. The advertiser is matched on this id within the account. On an Enterprise account (a single advertiser) the account itself is the advertiser and this id is not used for matching, but it is still required and hashed.

Example
C12412
advertiser_name
required
string
<= 80 characters

Name of the advertiser. Creates the advertiser on first sight and renames it when the name changes. Longer values are truncated.

Example
BlockBuster
optout_id
string
<= 40 characters

The optoutlist_id of a list the advertiser created in SUPPRESS, as returned by Get Opt-Out Lists. The list must exist; send the id exactly as returned.

Required when campaign_id is sent.

Examples
Exampleversion2

optoutlist_id from Get Opt-Out Lists

f3k93kda3
campaign_id
string
<= 40 characters

Your platform’s id for the campaign (offer). The campaign is created on the list named by optout_id on first sight and matched on this id within the advertiser afterwards. Requires optout_id. Sending an existing campaign with a different optout_id moves the campaign to that list; see Changing a campaign’s Opt-Out List.

Example
K3K3
campaign_name
string
<= 150 characters

Name of the campaign. Required when campaign_id is sent; the campaign is renamed when the name changes. Longer values are truncated.

Example
Spring Offer
check_hash
required
string
/^[0-9a-f]{32}$/

MD5 hex digest of the request’s hashed values, in the order they are listed for this action, followed by your Access Key (PAK). See Authentication for the rules and a worked example.

s
string
Allowed values: advertiser optoutlist addEmails

The page to open. Not hashed.

advertiser_email
string
<= 80 characters

Contact email stored on the advertiser. Not hashed.

advertiser_phone
string
<= 20 characters

Contact phone number stored on the advertiser. Not hashed.

advertiser_contact
string
<= 70 characters

Contact name stored on the advertiser. Not hashed.

return_format
string
default: csv
Allowed values: csv xml json

Sets the format of the success or failed answer on the synchronisation and status actions, and of the failure answer on every action. It does not change the success answer of the report and list actions, which is always their own XML document, or of the actions that answer with a page or a redirect. csv, xml and json are the only recognised values; anything else is answered in the csv format, the default. Not included in the check_hash.

test_only
string
Allowed values: success failed

Only honoured by Sync an advertiser, list, campaign and affiliate, Sync onto a linked list, Generate an SMAK, Account report, Get Opt-Out Lists, Advertiser and list settings page and Add opt-outs page; every other action ignores it and runs as normal, so sending it there does not stop the real change. On the actions that honour it, once the request has authenticated, it answers without creating or changing anything, and before the page renders on the two pages actions: failed,Test Failed Output for test_only=failed everywhere it is honoured. For test_only=success: the sync actions return a fixed key pair (https://TESTONLY.optizmo.net/m-test-a00-410324axc3e1eb7a and https://TESTONLY.optoutsystem.net/o-test-a00-546c4dxa10df19b8) in place of real ones, in the same body shape a real success with keys would have; the account report returns that same fixed key pair, not a report document; Get Opt-Out Lists returns a fixed two-entry list document; and the two pages actions return a bare success with no keys, the same shape as a real one with no campaign_id/mailer_id pair. Not included in the check_hash.

The requested settings page, or a failure in the format selected by return_format.

string

The system is in maintenance mode. Retry later. The answer follows return_format: csv (also the answer to a return_format that is neither xml nor json) as text/plain, xml as text/xml, json as application/json.
