In addition to the submitted form data, the mini API requires a few extra pieces of information:

• ss_username, ss_ password
The same as for your general Email System account.

• ss_listid
The numeric ID for the list you wish to manage.  This ID is displayed next to the list names on the “Manage Your Lists” screen in the Email System Control Panel.

• ss_cmd, ss_else
Two separate parameters that define what action the mini API should perform on the submitted form data.  The primary action (ss_cmd) may be “add” or “update.”  The secondary action (ss_else) may be “update,” “add,” or nothing.  The mini API will first attempt the primary action.  If that action fails, it will attempt the secondary action (if specified,) but only if it is different from the primary action.

• ss_append
A list (array) of all the form fields that, in the event of an update, should append to the old values instead of merely overwriting.  To ensure the proper handling of such fields in other areas of Email System, please list all such fields even if this web form will not be performing an update.
