Hi all,
I'm creating Distributions through the API https://{{host}}/API/v3/distributions
In the "message" part, I can indicate the libraryId + messageId of the email that I want to send. This email is translated into multiple languages, so the correct respondent receives the correct email in his language.
However, I can't find how to use a library message for the email subject.
I tried looking at a GET call for a distribution that does have an email subject from the library, like
https://{{host}}/API/v3/distributions/EMD_tnd2OfwerC0uRhp?surveyId=SV_a5g21DZrTZrYtRH
For emails with a fixed subject, it returns:
"headers": {
"fromEmail": "xxx",
"replyToEmail": "xxx",
"fromName": "xxx",
"subject": "we want to know your opinion"
}
While for emails with a library subject, it becomes
"headers": {
"fromEmail": "xxx",
"replyToEmail": "xxx",
"fromName": "xxx",
"subjectMessage": {
"messageId": "MS_6ulDgLSHi2yowpT",
"libraryId": "GR_dhuve6yo89sajOt"
}
But when I try to use this "subjectMessage" structure in a POST call for the distributions, I get the error
"errorMessage": "Expected param not found: subject",
I can't really seem to find something on the API guide about it... so I'm fearing it's not possible to use a library email subject?
Could anyone confirm this, or does someone know a way to do that? As I'm translating my emails, the subject should of course also be translated...

I contacted Qualtrics support about this, so if anyone ever encounters the same issue; this is the solution.
Instead of adding a structure like
"header": {
"fromEmail": "qtest@qemailserver.com",
"replyToEmail": "qtest@qemailserver.com",
"fromName": "Test Name",
"subjectMessage": {
"messageId": "MS_6ulDgLSHi2yowpT",
"libraryId": "GR_dhuve6yo89sajOt"
}
},
like it shows in a GET call,
for the POST you can just add the messageId directly in the subject attribute, so like this:
"header": {
"fromEmail": "qtest@qemailserver.com",
"replyToEmail": "qtest@qemailserver.com",
"fromName": "Test Name",
"subject": "MS_6ulDgLSHi2yowpT"
},
