• version_id - string - Version ID to render (optional)
• data - hash - Email data to render the template with (optional)

require 'rubygems'
require 'send_with_us'

begin
    obj = SendWithUs::Api.new( api_key: 'YOUR API KEY', debug: true )

    result = obj.render(
        'template_id',
        'version_id',
        { company_name: 'TestCo' },

    puts result
rescue => e
    puts "Error - #{e.class.name}: #{e.message}"
end

Remove Customer from Drip Campaign

require 'rubygems'
require 'send_with_us'

begin
    obj = SendWithUs::Api.new( api_key: 'YOUR API KEY', debug: true )

    result = obj.drip_unsubscribe('[email protected]')

    puts result
rescue => e
    puts "Error - #{e.class.name}: #{e.message}"
end

Using Drips 2.0

require 'rubygems'
require 'send_with_us'

begin
    obj = SendWithUs::Api.new( api_key: 'YOUR API KEY', debug: true )

    # List campaigns
    result = obj.list_drip_campaigns()
    puts result

    # List steps of campaign dc_asdf1234
    result = obj.drip_campaign_details('dc_asdf1234')
    puts result

    # Add [email protected] to campaign dc_asdf1234
    result = obj.start_on_drip_campaign('[email protected]', 'dc_asdf1234', {location: 'Canada', total: '100.00'})
    puts result

    # Remove [email protected] from campaign dc_asdf1234
    result = obj.remove_from_drip_campaign('[email protected]', 'dc_asdf1234')
    puts result
    rescue => e
    puts "error - #{e.class.name}: #{e.message}"
end

Customers

Create/Update a Customer

customer_data = {:FirstName => "Visha"}
result = obj.customer_create("[email protected]", customer_data)

Delete a Customer

result = obj.customer_delete("[email protected]")

Customer Conversion Event

You can use the Conversion API to track conversion and revenue data events against your sent emails

NOTE: Revenue is in cents (eg. $100.50 = 10050)

# With Revenue
obj.customer_conversion('[email protected]', 10050)

# Without Revenue
obj.customer_conversion('[email protected]')

Rails

For a Rails app, create send_with_us.rb in /config/initializers/ with the following:

SendWithUs::Api.configure do |config|
    config.api_key = 'YOUR API KEY'
    config.debug = true
end

In your application code where you want to send an email:

begin
    result = SendWithUs::Api.new.send_with('template_id', { address: '[email protected]' }, { company_name: 'TestCo' })
    puts result
rescue => e
    puts "Error - #{e.class.name}: #{e.message}"
end

Take a look at our Mailer that you can use to replace ActionMailer

sendwithus_ruby_action_mailer
