Core Workflows

2. List Contacts with Pagination
Retrieve contacts in batches with optional filters for email, phone, status, segment, or tag.
Tool: OMNISEND_LIST_CONTACTS
| Parameter | Type | Required | Description |
|---|---|---|---|
limit |
integer | No | Results per page (default: 100, max: 250) |

string | No | Cursor for next page (base64-encoded ContactID) |
before |
string | No | Cursor for previous page |

status |
string | No | Filter by: subscribed, nonSubscribed, unsubscribed |
segmentID |
integer | No | Filter by segment ID |
tag |
string | No | Filter by tag (e.g., VIP) |
3. Get Contact Details
Retrieve the full profile for a single contact when you already have their contact ID.
Tool: OMNISEND_GET_CONTACT
| Parameter | Type | Required | Description |
|---|---|---|---|
contactId |
string | Yes | Unique contact identifier (e.g., 60e7412b1234567890abcdef) |
4. Update an Existing Contact
Patch specific fields on a contact by ID without overwriting the entire record.
Tool: OMNISEND_UPDATE_CONTACT
Requires the contactId and the fields to update. Retrieve the contact ID first via OMNISEND_LIST_CONTACTS or OMNISEND_GET_CONTACT.
5. Bulk Batch Operations
Process many records asynchronously in a single call -- contacts, products, orders, events, or categories.
Tool: OMNISEND_CREATE_BATCH
| Parameter | Type | Required | Description |
|---|---|---|---|
method |
string | Yes | POST or PUT |
endpoint |
string | Yes | Target: contacts, orders, products, events, categories |
items |
array | Yes | Array of payload objects for each operation |
eventID |
string | Conditional | Required when endpoint is events |
Use batch operations to avoid rate limits when processing large data sets.
Known Pitfalls
| Pitfall | Details |
|---|---|
| Identifier required | OMNISEND_CREATE_OR_UPDATE_CONTACT requires at least one identifier in the identifiers array -- only email type is supported |
| Cursor-based pagination | OMNISEND_LIST_CONTACTS uses base64-encoded after/before cursors, not page numbers -- follow cursors to avoid incomplete data |
| Contact ID resolution | OMNISEND_UPDATE_CONTACT requires a contactId -- always resolve it first via list or get operations |
| Batch method constraints | OMNISEND_CREATE_BATCH only accepts POST or PUT methods -- no DELETE or PATCH |
| Event ID dependency | When batching events, the eventID parameter is mandatory -- omitting it causes the batch to fail |
