SOAP API importToList can't find list

[Anonymous]

Hi,

I'm having trouble getting a simple importToList call to work. 

I created a list called "TestList" in the Lead Database under "My Lists" (as described in the Managing Static Lists article), and used the exact same name in the importToList call.  However the response I get is always "List with name 'TestList' not found. (20114)". 

Is there some magic I need to do in addition to creating the list?  Or maybe did I create it in the wrong place?  Or use the wrong name?  Any ideas?

Hi,

Also, just to note: I am able to use the listOperation call successfully with the same list.

Try making your static list as a local asset. I seem to recall the new list calls only supporting lists within programs.

Ah, yes.  That was it.  Thanks.

Hrm.  As a point of interest: I cannot add a lead to a local asset list through the listOperation call.  So it seems the static list defined under the Lead Database tab and the static list defined under a Program are completely different beasts.

I think listOperation might work if you used the full name "program.list", but I'm not certain. That call was built well before Programs if I recall correctly.

I can test that... yes, that does work.  Excellent.
