Contacts can be imported in Mailmodo from your software stack via API. Using this API you can add contacts to a list without sending an email. The list will be available at Mailmodo portal so that you can send them ad-hoc emails. Numbers, Booleans, Strings and Dates (in UNIX or ISO 8601) are supported inside the data object.
