## Description

A better version of the WishList Member API. Created to make the connection to external
services like ActiveCampaign and Autorespond a lot easier. Also gives option to 
send email notifications after succesfully adding an user through the API.

This version is currently only available in the Dutch language. A translation to
English is in the works.

With this plugin you have the option to:

 * Force the API to check if the user already exists. With the original Simple WLM
   API in combination with an external service, the user is often not recognized
   as existing user. As a result, the Autoresponder tries to add a new user, which
   will fail. Better WishList API will check if the user exists, and, if so, overrules
   the Autoresponder’s request to create a new user. Instead, it will add the level
   to the existing user.
 * Get notifications by email of added users and levels. This way you don’t have
   to check if a transaction completed succesfully.
 * Also register your user’s first name and last name. The original Simple WLM API
   is not able to handle the user’s name
 * Log requests and see the results

This plugin also gives you detailed instructions how to use the API in conjunction
with Autorespond en ActiveCampaign.

## FAQ

### The plugin doesn’t seem to do anything

Make sure that the Simple WLM API plugin is either deactivated or removed. Better
WishList API will not perform action if Simple WLM API is also active, to prevent
that statements are double executed.

Autorespond.nl: Please make sure that you use ‘WishListSimpleApiAction’ as the external
system in the listmanager.

If the plugin still doesn’t work, download the log file in the Better WishList API
screen to see what is going wrong. Feel free to contact me if you can’t find what
the issue is.

Bedankt Rick voor de zeer bruikbare plugin. We hebben al veel klanten van ons blij
gemaakt hiermee. Installatie is simpel en de instructie is helder. Ik raad elke 
Autorespond gebruiker deze plugin van harte aan om te integreren met WishList! Pieter
