Configure the list you want displayed on the site

The lists that will be displayed on the site are those that are set 'ACTIVE' (it seems they're set 'HIDDEN' by default?)

You will have to set the correct lists as active using the mashery api interface at

At the top of the page, enter the correct App/Key and the access token connected to it (or hit get access token to create a new one).


Then go to ContactList methods -> Get and hit 'Try it!'


The 'Response Body' will give a list of all the contact lists and their id's and status (active/hidden)

In ContactList methods -> Put you can now use the elements from the response body to modify the list

In the listID, put the id number of the list you want to modify. Leave Content-Type as 'application/json'

In the Request Body, enter the name of the list and the status you want to change it to. So to hide the list 'THIS LIST NAME' you'd enter

{

"name": "THIS LIST NAME",

"status": "HIDDEN"

}

If you want to show a list try :

{

"name": "THIS LIST NAME",

"status": "ACTIVE"

}

and hit 'Try it!'. If you get a 200, all good. If not, try the docs at
