- Enable SmartFocus Member Feature
The Member module must be enabled in your SmartFocus account or the connection will fail when you attempt to connect.
This is an account-level feature and, once enabled, will apply to any API users and provides a way to access your members’ profile through the API. It provides full access to the MEMBER table, which allows you to insert, update, and get a member profile. The member table is a single table stored in the SmartFocus DataCenter and contains all the profile information of your recipients, such as email address, first name, last name, and any column defined during the life of your account.
