Glossary for ResultCodes
Problem reported by Alrik Olson - 6/7/2017 at 2:09 PM
Resolved
The current SmarterMail API docs do not describe what the different ResultCodes (int) represent. When I am dealing with the SOAP API, I have no way of knowing what, say, "-6" means when I get a response from the API.
 
Is there any plan to document what the different ResultCodes mean?

Hi Alrik,
 
The current documentation for the API is a work in progress as we finalize those web service calls. When it's complete, it'll include the ResultCode definitions. You can check out an example of one section that's been completed here:

Is there no reference anywhere for the legacy API's "ResultCode" and what they mean?

I can do my best to infer from the error messages the API provides, but the only documentation on "ResultCode" consists of "A result code, which differs by function."

I've heard back that the final documentation of the API should include these result codes definitions. That said, you shouldn't necessarily need to look at those directly, as the reason why a call failed would be included in the SOAP message string that's returned. For example, the call that's returned would say: "Invalid permissions." or "Failed to get the subscriber list".
