Upload Pre OptIn for Marketing Permission (MKT_PERM_OPTIN_PRE) does not work

[Katharinam]

Dear Experts, 

we would like to import the interaction type "Pre OptIn for Marketing Permission (MKT_PERM_OPTIN_PRE)" to trigger a DOI email .

But we get the following error message: 

Can someone help us with this? 

Thanks in advance!

I had the same requirement. Implementation partner wasn't able to provide a solution through workbench. Interested if anyone had a solution but I think it'll be through the marketing permissions API only.

Sorry for the delay Katharina.

Using the Data File Load app, we don't allow upload pre-opt-in interactions.

It is however possible with the contact API. See Payload Examples | SAP Help Portal of the contact API Structure of OData Service API_MKT_CONTACTS | SAP Help Portal

In Payload Examples | SAP Help Portal  under section PUT: Update or Create Marketing Permissions and Marketing Subscriptions for a Contact, you can see:

        }

If you set true to IsConfirmationRequired, then it will create a pre-opt-in interactions.

I hope this helps, Isabelle
