Integrating with external systems

In many environments, a mailing list manager's subscriber database is not run independently but as a part of an existing customer database or a CRM. There are multiple ways of keeping listmonk in sync with external systems.

Using APIs

The subscriber APIs offers several APIs to manipulate the subscribers database, like addition, updation, and deletion. For bulk synchronisation, a CSV can be generated (and optionally zipped) and posted to the import API.

Interacting directly with the DB

listmonk uses tables with simple schemas to represent subscribers (subscribers), lists (lists), and subscriptions (subscriber_lists). It is easy to add, update, and delete subscriber information directly with the database tables for advanced usecases. See the table schemas for more information.
