This API can be used to blacklist email as a channel for users in the CE platform. If the user is already present in the platform, this API will simply update the blacklist status of the user.

Note:

This API does not support mass blacklisting. That is primary key is mobile number, that has two contacts with same email ID but different contact number. Only the contact number which is passed, the email ID attributed to it will only get blacklisted.

To check if the email id is blacklisted or not, you can check the user status under audience>>All Contacts>>Blacklisted Contacts

Irrespective of whatever is the primary key, only email as a channel will get blacklisted

If invalid data is passed in array, the API will give success message as "200". But the same will not get blacklisted. You can request for the log or check on the UI under audience>>All Contacts>>Blacklisted Contacts
