Using DEmanager to update/insert to two Data Extensions

Question

Is it possible to update/insert using Marketing Cloud's DEManager to two different data extension? They both have the attribute that I need to update. This data extension will be used differently that's why I need to update to both.

This is my sample code:

<form action="http://cl.exct.net/DEManager.aspx" name="subscribeForm" method="post" id="main-form">
    <input type="hidden" name="_clientID" value="xxxxx">
    <input type="hidden" name="_deExternalKey" value="de1EXTERNALKEY/de2EXTERNALKEY">
    <input type="hidden" name="_action" value="add/update">
    <input type="hidden" name="_returnXML" value="0">

I tried this one but I'm getting an error, I also tried

<input type="hidden" name="_deExternalKey" value="de1EXTERNALKEY|de2EXTERNALKEY">

and this one

<form action="http://cl.exct.net/DEManager.aspx" name="subscribeForm" method="post" id="main-form">
    <input type="hidden" name="_clientID" value="xxxxx">
    <input type="hidden" name="_deExternalKey" value="de1EXTERNALKEY">
    <input type="hidden" name="_deExternalKey" value="de2EXTERNALKEY">
    <input type="hidden" name="_action" value="add/update">
    <input type="hidden" name="_returnXML" value="0">

Anyway, It's already working if I only update to one data extension.

DEManager only works with a single data extension.

It may be a little tricky handling the response from DEManager, but you should be able to use AJAX (using the DEManager URL instead of some other PHP handler) to perform two posts upon form submission. -- otherwise, you'll have to do one at a time.
