Prerequisites

Before creating a Maropost credential, you need to obtain your API key and Account ID from your Maropost account. Maropost uses API key authentication for all API requests, with the API key sent in the auth_token header.

To obtain your Maropost API credentials, follow these steps:

1. Sign in to your Maropost account using your administrator credentials.

2. Navigate to the Connections or Settings section in your Maropost dashboard.

3. Look for the API or API Keys section in the settings menu.

4. If you don't have an API key yet, click Generate API Key or Create API Key to create a new API key.

5. Copy the API key immediately after it's generated, as it may not be accessible again after you navigate away from the page.

6. Locate your Account ID in your Maropost account settings or dashboard. The Account ID is typically displayed in your account information or can be found in the URL when you're logged into your Maropost account.

7. Store both the API key and Account ID securely, as you will need them to configure your Nexla credential. The API key is sensitive information and should be kept confidential.

The API key is sent in the auth_token header for all API requests to the Maropost API. The Account ID is used to construct API endpoint URLs specific to your Maropost account. The API key authenticates your requests and grants access to Maropost resources based on your account permissions. If your API key is compromised, you should immediately revoke it in your Maropost account settings and generate a new one. Maropost enforces rate limits with a maximum of 10 concurrent API calls per account. For detailed information about API authentication, available endpoints, and API usage limits, refer to the Maropost API documentation.

2. Enter a name for the credential in the Credential Name field and a short, meaningful description in the Credential Description field.

3. Enter your Maropost API key in the API Key Value field. This is the API key you obtained from your Maropost account settings (Connections or Settings > API Keys). The API key is sent in the auth_token header for all API requests to the Maropost API. The API key is sensitive information and must be kept confidential.

4. Enter your Maropost Account ID in the Account Id field. This is the Account ID you obtained from your Maropost account. The Account ID is used to construct API endpoint URLs specific to your Maropost account (e.g., https://api.maropost.com/accounts/{account_id}/lists.json). The Account ID is typically displayed in your account information or can be found in the URL when you're logged into your Maropost account.

   Your Maropost API key can be found in your Maropost account settings under the Connections or Settings > API Keys section. Your Account ID can be found in your account information or in the URL when you're logged into your Maropost account. The API key is sent in the auth_token header for all API requests to the Maropost API. The Account ID is used to construct API endpoint URLs specific to your Maropost account.

   If your API key is compromised, you should immediately revoke it in your Maropost account settings and generate a new one. The API key provides access to your Maropost data and should be treated as sensitive information. Maropost enforces rate limits with a maximum of 10 concurrent API calls per account. Exceeding this limit results in an HTTP Status Code 429 response.

   For detailed information about API authentication, available endpoints, and API usage limits, see the Maropost API documentation.

5. Click the Save button at the bottom of the overlay. The newly added credential will now appear in a tile on the Authenticate screen during data source/destination creation.

Endpoint templates

Nexla provides pre-built templates that can be used to rapidly configure data sources to ingest data from common Maropost endpoints. Select the endpoint from which this source will fetch data from the Endpoint pulldown menu. Available endpoint templates are listed in the expandable boxes below.

Account List

This endpoint template retrieves a list of all lists in your Maropost account. Use this template when you need to retrieve information about all lists available in your Maropost account, such as list names, IDs, and metadata.

• This endpoint automatically retrieves all lists in your Maropost account. No additional configuration is required beyond selecting this endpoint template.

This endpoint returns a list of all lists in your Maropost account, including list names, IDs, and metadata. The endpoint does not support pagination and returns all lists in a single response. Use this endpoint to discover available lists before configuring other endpoints that require a list ID.

For detailed information about available endpoints, API response structure, and API usage limits, see the Maropost API documentation.

Campaign List

This endpoint template retrieves a list of all campaigns in your Maropost account. Use this template when you need to retrieve information about all campaigns, such as campaign names, IDs, status, and metadata. The endpoint uses pagination to handle large datasets efficiently.

• This endpoint automatically retrieves all campaigns in your Maropost account using pagination. No additional configuration is required beyond selecting this endpoint template. Nexla will automatically fetch subsequent pages of data by incrementing the page number.

This endpoint uses page-based pagination with page and per_page query parameters to handle large datasets efficiently. Nexla will automatically fetch subsequent pages of data by incrementing the page number. The endpoint expects approximately 100 rows per page, but the actual page size may vary based on your Maropost account configuration.

For detailed information about available endpoints, API response structure, pagination, and API usage limits, see the Maropost API documentation.

Once the selected endpoint template has been configured, click the Test button to the right of the endpoint selection menu to retrieve a sample of the data that will be fetched. Sample data will be displayed in the Endpoint Test Result panel on the right, allowing you to verify that the source is configured correctly before saving.

Manual configuration

Maropost data sources can also be manually configured to ingest data from any valid Maropost API endpoint, including endpoints not covered by the pre-built templates, chained API calls, or custom query parameters. Select the Advanced tab at the top of the configuration screen, and follow the instructions in Connect to Any API to configure the API method, endpoint URL, date/time and lookup macros, path to data, metadata, and request headers.

Maropost API endpoints typically use the GET method and follow the pattern https://api.maropost.com/accounts/{account_id}/{path} (e.g., https://api.maropost.com/accounts/{account_id}/lists.json). For the Response Data Path, use $ to extract the entire response, $[*] to extract all items from a response array, or $.data[*] to extract items from a data array, depending on the structure returned by your endpoint. Paginated endpoints use page and per_page query parameters (starting page 1, page size typically 100). Maropost enforces a limit of 10 concurrent API calls per account; exceeding this returns an HTTP Status Code 429 response. For detailed information about available endpoints, response structures, and usage limits, see the Maropost API documentation.

Once all of the relevant settings have been configured, click the Create button in the upper right corner of the screen to save and create the new Maropost data source. Nexla will now begin ingesting data from the configured endpoint and will organize any data that it finds into one or more Nexsets.

Use as a destination

Click the + icon on the Nexset that will be sent to the Maropost destination, and select the Send to Destination option from the menu. Select the Maropost connector from the list of available destination connectors, then select the credential that will be used to connect to your Maropost account, and click Next; or, create a new Maropost credential for use in this flow.

Endpoint templates

Nexla provides pre-built templates that can be used to rapidly configure destinations to send data to common Maropost endpoints. Select the endpoint to which data will be sent from the Endpoint pulldown menu. Then, click on the template in the list below to expand it, and follow the instructions to configure additional endpoint settings.

Manual configuration

Maropost destinations can also be manually configured to send data to any valid Maropost API endpoint. Select the Advanced tab at the top of the configuration screen, and follow the instructions in Connect to Any API to configure the API method, data format, endpoint URL, request headers, attribute exclusions, record batching, and response webhooks.

Maropost API destinations typically use the POST method with endpoint URLs following the pattern https://api.maropost.com/accounts/{account_id}/{path} (e.g., https://api.maropost.com/accounts/{account_id}/contacts.json). The request body is typically formatted as {message.json}, which sends the entire Nexset record as JSON and must match the Maropost API's expected format for the resource type being created. Maropost enforces a limit of 10 concurrent API calls per account; exceeding this returns an HTTP Status Code 429 response. For detailed information about required fields and data formats, see the Maropost API documentation.

Save & activate

Once all endpoint settings have been configured, click the Done button in the upper right corner of the screen to save and create the destination. To send the data to the configured Maropost endpoint, open the destination resource menu, and select Activate.

The Nexset data will not be sent to the Maropost endpoint until the destination is activated. Destinations can be activated immediately or at a later time, providing full control over data movement.
