Exploring the Issue: What Causes the Invalid Suppression List Error?

Step 1: Verify the Suppression List ID

Ensure that the suppression list ID you are using is correct. Double-check for any typographical errors. You can find the correct ID by logging into your SparkPost account and navigating to the suppression lists section.

Step 2: Check the Existence of the Suppression List

Confirm that the suppression list exists in your account. If it has been deleted, you will need to recreate it. Use the SparkPost API to list all suppression lists and verify the presence of the desired list. You can use the following API call:

{
"recipient": "[email protected]",
"type": "transactional",
"description": "Suppression list for transactional emails"
}
