REST Email Marketing API Documentation

Example 6 — Send a Document

This example shows sending a Document in Symphonie using dynamic substitutions to mail-merge the contents. We'll assume the content has already been created with multiple DynamicTags that we'll populate through this API call.

In this example, the HTML table is created in the code. This is for example purposes only, as you would certainly want to style this table and make other changes.

using System;
using System.Collections.Generic;
using System.Net.Http;
using System.Net.Http.Json;
using System.Text;
using System.Threading.Tasks;

private static async Task RestExample6(
	HttpClient client,
	List<string> topics,
	string brandName,
	string email)
{
	var htmlTable = new StringBuilder("<table><tbody><tr><td>Topic name</td><td>Status</td></tr>");
	foreach (string topic in topics)
		htmlTable.Append("<tr><td>").Append(topic).Append("</td><td>Subscribed</td></tr>");
	htmlTable.Append("</tbody></table>");

	var body = new
	{
		accountName = "acme",
		login = "ApiUser",
		password = "YOUR_PASSWORD",
		documentName = "Welcome1",
		emailAddress = email,
		substitutions = new Dictionary<string, string>
		{
			["HtmlTable"] = htmlTable.ToString(),
			["brandName"] = brandName
		}
	};

	using (HttpResponseMessage response =
		await client.PostAsJsonAsync("https://example.com/API/Rest/Documents/Queue", body))
	{
		response.EnsureSuccessStatusCode();
		string result = await response.Content.ReadAsStringAsync();
		if (result.StartsWith("Success"))
			Console.WriteLine("Document queued to be sent.");
		else
			Console.WriteLine("Error: " + result);
	}
}
