REST API: POST emailing (Marketing Suite)

You can post a Marketing Suite mailing with our REST API if you have already completed a template and prepared your database. To send a new mailing you send an HTTP POST request to the following URL:

https://api.copernica.com/v2/ms/emailing?access_token=xxxx

Available parameters

There are three parameteres available, all of them required.

  • target: The ID of the emailing target.
  • targettype: The type of the target (database, collection, view, miniview, profile or subprofile)
  • template: The ID of the template to use.

Make sure your template is complete before posting the call. The mailing can not be sent without a valid subject and from address. You should also make sure your sender domain is configured correctly before attempting to send a mailing.

PHP example

The following script demonstrates how to call the API method. Don't forget to substitute the parameters for your own target and template.

<?php

// dependencies
require_once('copernica_rest_api.php');

// change this into your access token
$api = new CopernicaRestAPI("your-access-token", 2);

// parameters to pass to the call
$parameters = array(
    'target'                  => $targetID,
    'targettype'              => $targetType,
    'template'                => $templateID,
);

// execute the call
print_r($api->post("ms/emailing", $parameters));

// returns the id of created request if succesful

This example requires our REST API class.
