SendyPHP

A PHP class built to interface with the Sendy API (http://sendy.co)

Installation

Using Composer

Begin by installing this package through Composer. Edit your project's composer.json file to require jacobbennett/sendyphp.

"require": {
	"jacobbennett/sendyphp": "1.3.*"
}

Next, update Composer from the Terminal:

composer update

Non-Composer Installation

• Grab the src/SendyPHP.phpfile and place it into your file structure.
• Require SendyPHP in the location you would like to utilize it.

	require('SendyPHP.php');

Usage

Create an instance of the class while passing in an array including your API key, installation URL, and the List ID you wish to work with.

	$config = array(
		'api_key' => 'yourapiKEYHERE', //your API key is available in Settings
		'installation_url' => 'http://updates.mydomain.com',  //Your Sendy installation
		'list_id' => 'your_list_id_goes_here'
	);
	
	$sendy = new \SendyPHP\SendyPHP($config);
	
	//you can change the list_id you are referring to at any point
	$sendy->setListId("a_different_list_id");

Methods

After creating a new instance of SendyPHP call any of the methods below

Return Values

The return value of any of these functions will include both a status, and a message to go with that status.

The status is a boolean value of true or false and the message will vary based on the type of action being performed.

	//example of a succesful return value
	array(
		'status'=>true,
		'message'=>'Already Subscribed'
	)
	
	//example of a UNsuccesful return value
	array(
		'status'=>false,
		'message'=>'Some fields are missing.'
	)

I have commented and organized the code so as to be readable, if you have further questions on the status or messages being returned, please refer to the library comments.

subscribe(array $values)

This method takes an array of $values and will attempt to add the $values into the list specified in $list_id

	$results = $sendy->subscribe(array(
		'name'=>'Jim',
		'email' => '[email protected]', //this is the only field required by sendy
		'customfield1' => 'customValue'
	));

Note: Be sure to add any custom fields to the list in Sendy before utilizing them inside this library. Another Note: If a user is already subscribed to the list, the library will return a status of true. Feel free to edit the code to meet your needs.

unsubscribe($email)

Unsubscribes the provided e-mail address (if it exists) from the current list.

	$results = $sendy->unsubscribe('[email protected]');

substatus($email)

Returns the status of the user with the provided e-mail address (if it exists) in the current list.

	$results = $sendy->substatus('[email protected]');

Note: refer to the code or see http://sendy.co/api for the types of return messages you can expect.

subcount()

Returns the number of subscribers to the current list.

	$results = $sendy->subcount();

createCampaign(array $values)

This method takes an array of $values and will creates a campaign (with an option to send it too).

	$results = $sendy->createCampaign(array(
		'from_name' => 'Some Name',
		'from_email' => '[email protected]',
		'reply_to' => '[email protected]',
		'subject' => 'Some Subject',
		'plain_text' => 'Amazing campaign', // (optional).
		'html_text' => '<h1>Amazing campaign</h1>',
		'list_ids' => 'your_list_id', // Required only if you set send_campaign to 1.
		'brand_id' => 0, // Required only if you are creating a 'Draft' campaign.
		'query_string' => 'some', // eg. Google Analytics tags.
		'send_campaign' => 0 // Set to 1 if you want to send the campaign as well and not just create a draft. Default is 0.
	));

setListId($list_id) and getListId()

Change or get the list you are currently working with.

	
	//set or switch the list id
	$sendy->setListId('another_list_id');
	
	//get the current list id
	echo $sendy->getListId();

Unit tests

All unit tests are located under src/test directory. To run the tests type in the below from the project root.

		php vendor/bin/phpunit src/test/SendyPHPTest.php

Ensure that the API keys are setup for testing :

		$config = [
			'api_key' => 'xxx', //your API key is available in Settings
			'installation_url' => 'http://my.sendy.installation.com',  //Your Sendy installation
			'list_id' => 'xxx'// List ID
		];
