campaign/send not working for test emails on scheduled campaigns about activecampaign-api-php HOT 5 CLOSED

Hi, what error is it returning?

from activecampaign-api-php.

When I test this on my own installs, I sometimes get this response:

{
"result": false,
"result_code": 0,
"result_message": "Message not sent",
"result_output": "json",
"success": 0,
"error": "Message not sent"
}

But this only happens if I use a campaign that doesn't have a message associated with it yet (you can check through the admin interface when editing the campaign).

I also tested using a scheduled campaign, but did not notice the issue.

Let me know if you have more details (so I can replicate) and I'd love to get the issue fixed.

Thanks!

that's the error that I'm getting.

It's too late for me to do anything about it at the moment (i'm in aus, so it's past midnight!)
could it be a problem with me using 0 as a message id?

the campaign definitely had a message attached to it, as the function that I have built requires a campaign ID and message id before it will allow a test to be sent. I switched over from using the correct message id to using 0, but even with the correct message id put in place, I'm still returning:

{
  "result": 0,
  "result_code": 0,
  "result_message": "Message not sent",
  "result_output": "json",
  "success": 0,
  "error": "Message not sent"
}

I just tested through the api explorer from the admin page and i'm getting the same response. Even on campaigns that were successfully delivered previously

the only other factor that I can think of was that the account lapsed and was re-activated. I've updated the api key as a result. not sure if this would affect old campaign ids though...

Just an update for anyone else following this thread - campaign_send will only work if the campaign has sent already (completely finished and sent). If you are trying to use campaign_send prior to sending the actual campaign, it will return "Message not sent."

from activecampaign-api-php.

For me it works on a campaign that's still in the conceptual phase when I use this method:
$sResponse = $this->cAC->api('campaign/send?email=' . $sEmail . '&campaignid=' . $iCampaignId . '&messageid=' . intval($iMessageId) . '&type=mime&action=send');

But the receiver (contact) must be in the linked list, otherwise it doesn't work.
