blacklist and unblacklist

Generate or remove a blocklist entry in Optimizely Campaign.

Blocklist entries can be individual recipients (i.e., an email address) or wildcards, which block all recipients that match a defined pattern (e.g., a whole domain). Use a question mark (?) for a single character and an asterisk (*) for several characters.

📘
Note
If the blocklist entry pattern contains special characters, the pattern must be URL-encoded. For example, use the code %2f for a forward slash (/), %252f for a double slash (//), %2B for a plus sign (+) etc.

These operations are available in the form service.

Parameters

Name	Mandatory	Default value	Description
bmPattern	yes	–	If the blocklist entry refers to a single recipient, the email address can be set here. To blocklist multiple recipients, use wildcards as described above.
bmReason	no	http-api	The reason for blocking.
