FanBridge API - Email Campaign Send

This example shows you how to send an email campaign using email_campaign/create, email_campaign/target_all and email_campaign/schedule API methods.

Example code

You can include the PHP FanBridge API SDK

library to improve the connection handling between your site and the FanBridge API platform.

Important: We will assume here that you already have an access Token and Secret key pair. If you don't know how to get them, please refer to the Connecting section.

<?php

// Required files
require "fanbridge_api.php";

// Initialization
$fanbridge_api = new Fanbridge_Api(array(
	'secret' => $secret,
	'token' => $token));

try
{
	// Inserts a new campaign
	$new_campaign = json_decode($fanbridge_api->call(
		'email_campaign/create',
		array(
			'type' => 'html',
			'name' => 'My first campaign',
			'subject' => 'Check my first email campaign!',
			'content_html' => '<html><body>Hello everyone!</body></html>')));

	// Targets the new campaign for all groups
	$fanbridge_api->call(
		'email_campaign/target_all',
		array(
			'campaign_id' => $new_campaign->id));

	// Schedules the campaign
	$fanbridge_api->call(
		'email_campaign/schedule',
		array(
			'campaign_id' => $new_campaign->id,
			'date_time' => 'NOW'));
}
catch (Fanbridge_Api_Exception $e)
{
	// Your code...
}

The key 'NOW' means immediatly for us (in 'email_campaign/schedule'), so this campaign will be sent as soon as possible. Please note that you could be more specific with the groups targeting, using email_campaign/create_targeting method instead.
