2) Fill in the parameters:

Email

Attributes

· Required field

· Fill in the attribute values in the right order (check the attribute sequence in the Service list section)

For example:

A service with code 17 (“Creating advertising materials (graphics)”) has four attributes: attribute 1 – URL, attribute 2 – Banner size, attribute 3 – Images to use, attribute 4 – Costs.

Important! If you only want one attribute – say, the fourth (Costs) – then use “;” in place of the first, second, and third values.
