The primary purpose of this call is to allow the user to update / modify an autoresponder that had been initially created using the AddAutoresponder API call. This call allows the user to update / modify the autoresponder's title, the subject of the AR email campaign, the HTML of the AR campaign, the tag (list) used as an optional filter criteria if membership to that list is the desired filter, the "Send from" text, the "Send from email address" and the "Reply to email address". In addition, the user may elect to pause an active autoresponder, or resume a currently paused one.
PLEASE NOTE: Autoresponders (Drips) are being deprecated, and replaced by Pinpointe's new Journeys tool. While Autoresponders can still be created and deployed, no statistical information is available. For more information, contact Pinpointe Support.
