Usage

Sending

See SendWithUsExample.java for full usage.

NOTE - If a customer does not exist by the specified email (recipient address), the send call will create a customer.

NOTE - Email ID is the ID of the Template (template id)

Two APIs now exist for issuing "Send" requests:

• Legacy: SendWithUs.send(...) methods

A collection of overloaded methods for sending an Email with various parameters. DOES NOT SUPPORT: Tags, Inline Attachments, Version Name

• New: SendWithUsSendRequest class

The new method, employing SendWithUsSendRequest objects, enables a more object-oriented approach to issuing Send requests. The objects allow you to specify only the desired request parameters, and can be re-used and mutated easily.

Provided parameter setters:

• setEmailId(String emailId)
• setRecipient(Map<String, Object> recipient)
• setEmailData(Map<String, Object> emailData)
• setCcRecipients(Map<String, Object>[] ccRecipients)
• setBccRecipients(Map<String, Object>[] bccRecipients)
• setSender(Map<String, Object> sender)
• setTags(String[] tags)
• setInline(Map<String, String> inline)
• setAttachmentPaths(String[] attachmentPaths)
• setEspAccount(String espAccount)
• setVersionName(String versionName)
• setLocale(String locale)
• setHeaders(Map<String, Object> headers)

Advanced

The following methods are also available:

• templates()
• template(String)
• versions(String, String)
• render(String, Map<String, Object>)
• deactivateDrips(String)
• createUpdateCustomer(String, Map<String, Object>)
• getSnippets()
• getSnippet(String)
• createSnippet(String, String)
• updateSnippet(String, String, String)
• deleteSnippet(String)
• resend(String)

Examples

import java.util.HashMap;
import java.util.Map;

import com.sendwithus.SendWithUs;

// IDs and API keys are found in the Sendwithus dashboard
final String SENDWITHUS_API_KEY = "API-KEY-HERE"; // starts with "live_..." or "test_..."
final String TEMPLATE_ID = "TEMPLATE-ID-HERE"; // starts with "tem_..."
final String DRIP_CAMPAIGN_ID = "DRIP-CAMPAIGN-ID-HERE"; // starts with "dc_..."
final String SNIPPET_ID = "SNIPPET-ID-HERE"; // starts with "snp_..."

SendWithUs sendwithusAPI = new SendWithUs(SENDWITHUS_API_KEY);

// Send
Map<String, Object> recipientMap = new HashMap<String, Object>();
recipientMap.put("name", "Matt"); // optional
recipientMap.put("address", "[email protected]");

// Sender is optional
Map<String, Object> senderMap = new HashMap<String, Object>();
senderMap.put("name", "Company"); // optional
senderMap.put("address", "[email protected]");
senderMap.put("reply_to", "[email protected]"); // optional

// ESP Account is optional
String espAccount = "esp_1234asdf";

// Setup Email Data for Send
Map<String, Object> emailDataMap = new HashMap<String, Object>();
emailDataMap.put("first_name", "Brad");
emailDataMap.put("link", "http://sendwithus.com/some_link");

// Attachments is optional
String[] attachments = {"test.png"}

// CC is optional (BCC follows a similar pattern)
String[] ccEmails = {"[email protected]", "[email protected]"};
HashMap<String, Object>[] ccRecipientsMap = (HashMap<String, Object>[]) new HashMap[ccEmails.length];

int i = 0;
for (String email : ccEmails){
    HashMap<String, Object> hashMap = new HashMap<String, Object>();
    hashMap.put("address", email);
    ccRecipientsMap[i] = hashMap;
    i++;
}

// Sending the email using the legacy send() java API
SendReceipt sendReceipt = sendwithusAPI.send(
    TEMPLATE_ID,
    recipientMap,
    senderMap,
    emailDataMap,
    null,
    null,
    attachments,
    espAccount
);

// Example sending the same email using the new SendWithUsSendRequest class
SendWithUsSendRequest request = new SendWithUsSendRequest()
    .setEmailId(TEMPLATE_ID)
    .setRecipient(recipientMap)
    .setCcRecipients(ccRecipientsMap)
    .setSender(senderMap)
    .setEmailData(emailDataMap)
    .setAttachmentPaths(attachments)
    .setEspAccount(espAccount);
SendReceipt sendReceipt = sendwithusAPI.send(request);

// Resend Example
SendReceipt sendReceipt = sendwithusAPI.resend("log_asdf123456qwerty");

// Templates
Email template = sendwithusAPI.template(TEMPLATE_ID);
List<TemplateVersion> versions = template.getVersions();
TemplateVersion version = versions.get(0);
TemplateVersionDetails details = sendwithusAPI.version(TEMPLATE_ID, version.getId());

// Drip Campaigns
String recipientAddress = "[email protected]";

SendWithUsDripRequest dripRequest = new SendWithUsDripRequest();
dripRequest.setRecipient(recipientMap);
dripRequest.setEmailData(emailDataMap);

ActivatedDrip activateDripCampaign = sendwithusAPI.startOnDripCampaign(DRIP_CAMPAIGN_ID, dripRequest);
DeactivatedDrip deactivateDripCampaign = sendwithusAPI.removeFromDripCampaign(recipientAddress, DRIP_CAMPAIGN_ID);
DeactivatedDrips deactivateAllDripCampaigns = sendwithusAPI.deactivateDrips(recipientAddress);

// Customers
CustomerReceipt customerReceipt = sendwithusAPI.createUpdateCustomer(recipientAddress, emailDataMap);

// Snippets
String snippetName = "My Snippet";
String snippetBody = "<h1>Snippets!</h1>";
Snippet[] snippets = sendwithusAPI.getSnippets();
Snippet snippet = sendwithusAPI.getSnippet(SNIPPET_ID);
SnippetReceipt createSnippet = sendwithusAPI.createSnippet(snippetName, snippetBody);
SnippetReceipt updateSnippet = sendwithusAPI.updateSnippet(SNIPPET_ID, snippetName, snippetBody);
APIReceipt deleteSnippet = sendwithusAPI.deleteSnippet(SNIPPET_ID);

// Render
RenderedTemplate render = sendwithusAPI.render(TEMPLATE_ID, emailDataMap);

Errors

The following errors may be generated:

com.sendwithus.exception.SendWithUsException - Raised by send exceptions

Response Ranges

Sendwithus' API typically sends responses back in these ranges:

• 2xx – Successful Request
• 4xx – Failed Request (Client error)
• 5xx – Failed Request (Server error)

If you're receiving an error in the 400 response range follow these steps:

• Double check the data and ID's getting passed to sendwithus
• Ensure your API key is correct
• Log and check the body of the response

Developing
