This tutorial assumes that you are using a cloud based Universal Messenger installation with a working SMTP configuration but is works just as well if your Universal Messenger is running on premise.

Credentials for Universal Messenger API access

With a Universal Messenger cloud installation you will be given the following access parameters by us:

• URL (usually something like https://acme.universal-messenger.cloud/cmsbs/ )

• “Open” password, a pre shared key for API access

You will need the same information for on premise installations, those two parameters are set during the installation.

This quick start tutorial is based on an example integration which can be downloaded as a ContentTransport feature from the Universal Messenger download page: https://www.universal-messenger.de/knowledge-base/intern/02_downloads/FS/feature_EmailMarketingExample.zip

Create a preview list in Universal Messenger

Create at least one list in the Universal Messenger and add people to that list who will receive a preview for each newsletter before it will be sent to the actual recipients. This list will be selected when configuring your project settings in FirstSpirit.
