Build Status

requirements

python requests library

installation

pip install sendwithus

usage

For all examples, assume:

import sendwithus
api = sendwithus.api(api_key='YOUR-API-KEY')

error handling

By default, the api calls return a response object. However, you can use sendwithus.api(api_key='YOUR-API-KEY', raise_errors=True) which will raise the following errors:

  • AuthenticationError - Caused by an invalid api key
  • APIError - Caused by an invalid api request (4xx error)
  • ServerError - Caused by a server error (5xx error)

Errors can be imported from the sendwithus.exceptions module.

Templates

Get your templates

api.templates()

Create a template

api.create_template(
    name='Email Name',
    subject='Email Subject',
    html='<html><head></head><body>Valid HTML</body></html>',
    text='Optional text content')

We validate all HTML and will return an error if it's invalid.

r.status_code
# 400
r.content
# 'email html failed to validate'

api.start_on_drip_campaign(
    'dc_1234asdf1234',
    {'address':'[email protected]'},
    email_data={'color': 'blue'},
    sender={'address': '[email protected]'},

api.drip_deactivate('[email protected]')

List the details of a specific campaign

api.drip_campaign_details('dc_1234asdf1234')

Customers

Get a Customer

api.customer_details('[email protected]')

Create/update Customer

You can use the same endpoint to create or update a customer. Sendwithus will perform a merge of the data on the customer profile, preferring the new data.

api.customer_create('[email protected]', data={'first_name': 'Matt'})

Delete a Customer

api.customer_delete('[email protected]')

Add Customer to a Group

api.add_customer_to_group('[email protected]', 'grp_1234')

Remove Customer from a Group

api.remove_customer_from_group('[email protected]', 'grp_1234')

Conversions

Create a 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)

api.customer_conversion('[email protected]', revenue=10050)

Customer Groups

Create a Customer Group

api.create_customer_group('group_name', 'sample group description')

Delete a customer group

api.delete_customer_group('grp_1234')

Update a Customer Group

api.update_customer_group('new_name', 'updated group description')

Segmentation

Send Template to Segment

You can use the Segments API to send a template to all customers who match a segment. The Segment must be created in the Sendwithus dashboard, which is where you will find the segment_id for use in this API.

api.send_segment('tem_12345', 'seg_1245')

Extra Data

You may specify extra data to be merged into the template, alongside the individual customer profiles

api.send_segment('tem_12345', 'seg_12345', email_data={'color': 'blue'})

Render

Render a Template with data

The render API allows you to render a template with data, using the exact same rendering workflow that Sendwithus uses when delivering your email.

api.render('tem_12345', { "amount": "$12.00" }, 'French-Version', strict=False)
