asked on

SOAP API from our email providers

Hello,

We have an email provider to whom we out source our email services to. They have a feature called Integration API and say that we can automate everything. We can get access to their API allowing automation of account management - something which is ideal for integrating with out own control panels / intranet. Their API is based on SOAP.

Can anyone tell me what they mean by this and what we would be able to do with it … is SOAP an ok technology ?

I would ask our provider about this however a third party view would be great to hear first.

Any information would be greatly received.

Many thanks… GISVPN

Hey thanks for your email.

In this context what do you think they would allow us to do  ? Whats the value of them providing us with this access ?

Thanks

Well, there could be several reasons their client need to access it. For example you yourself need something like this to be able to integrate it with your own control panel.

do you have an example ? :)
General SOAP related examples are included with any SDK. Exact example of your email provider would depend on their WSDL. What are you going to use for coding?
