Sending Email via API is failing

API Q&A
1

I’ve got quite a bit of experience with the Infusionsoft API. But I’ve ran into a situation I can’t seem to solve.

I’m trying to send an email via the API and I’m getting an error.

Here’s a dump of the data I’m passing in the call as well as the error coming back:

  [0]=>
  array(1) {
    [0]=>
    int(1433)
  }
  [1]=>
  string(21) "tyler.garns@gmail.com"
  [2]=>
  string(15) "~Contact.Email~"
  [3]=>
  string(0) ""
  [4]=>
  string(0) ""
  [5]=>
  string(4) "HTML"
  [6]=>
  string(11) "Testing 123"
  [7]=>
  string(18) "Email Content HEre"
  [8]=>
  string(0) ""
}

Any ideas what I’m doing wrong here?

Thanks.

What I’m using in the rpc works with 8 parameters but you have 9…what’s that it starts with “array(9) {
[0]=>” ? Isn’t that supposed to be the key? I realize you would have removed it but shouldn’t that be a string?

3

Thanks for the reply John.

I’m using the SDK that passes the key after this step. This is the data I’m structuring before I pass it to the call. So, the missing API key isn’t the problem here. But thank you!

4

I should clarify - I’m using OAuth which sends the refreshAccessToken first, then this data you see here @John_Borelli.

5

Running a simple call to retrieve a contact works just fine.

6

Ok, so that’s why I asked. Using the SDK I have a working example:

$status = $ISAppObject->sendEmail(
array($ownerContactId),
$templateRecord[‘fromAddress’],
$templateRecord[‘toAddress’],
$templateRecord[‘ccAddress’],
$templateRecord[‘bccAddress’],
$templateRecord[‘contentType’],
$templateRecord[‘subject’],
$templateRecord[‘htmlBody’],
$templateRecord[‘textBody’]);

and all are string except the first which is an array of one

7

@Tyler_Garns what app. Let check the logs quick?

8

Thanks @bradb. App is chunk

9

I don’t see any errors in the logs, but this part of your error is strange Infusionsoft\Infusionsoft->request(‘APIEmailService…’, Array, NULL, NULL, NULL, NULL, NULL, NULL, NULL, NULL, NULL) Why does it think the values are null is my question? What is you client_id? You can PM that if you want. I will run a trace in Mashery and see what the actual values are that we see.

10

Thanks @bradb. What’s the client_id?

11

It the part of the credentials Mashery gives you. You said OAuth right?

12

Got it. Just pm’d it to you. Thanks.

13

@Tyler_Garns
It looks like from the stack trace you are storing the variables into an array then passing them to the method. Like this:

>sendEmail($array)

try doing something like this:

>sendEmail($contactArray,"tyler.garns@gmail.com","~Contact.Email~","","","HTML","Testing 123","<p>Hello World!</p>","Hello World")

Make sure that the contact’s are opted into receiving emails from Infusionsoft before sending the test as a contact that isn’t opted in will cause a failure to be returned.

14

Thanks @JonSmith. I actually am doing it they way you suggested. I threw it on the screen as an array so you could see what I was passing. Not working. I’m wondering if it’s having a problem with another plugin.

15

Will you turn on debugging and see what happens? Also will you post exactly what you are sending to the method?

16

Ok, here’s the raw code:

           echo "now";

            $contact = $infusionsoft->contacts()->load((int)$_POST['cids'],array("FirstName","LastName","Email"));
            var_dump($contact); echo "<br /><br />";
            $result = $wpdb->get_row("SELECT * FROM wp_users_emails WHERE Id=".(int)$_POST['emailId'],ARRAY_A);
            $emailBody = "<div style='width:100%;padding:20px;background-color:".$result['bgColor'].";'><div style='border-radius:4px;width:100%;max-width:560px;margin:0px auto;background-color:white;padding:20px;'>".nl2br($result['topText'])."<a href='#'><img src='".$result['imageUrl']."' style='width:100%;margin:20px 0px;' /></a>".nl2br($result['bottomText'])."</div></div>";
            $clist = array($_POST['cids']);
            $emailDetails = array($clist,$result['fEmail'],"~Contact.Email~","","","HTML",$result['subject'],$emailBody,"");
            echo "<pre>"; var_dump($emailDetails); echo "</pre>";
            $sent = $infusionsoft->emails()->sendEmail(array(1433),20709);
            var_dump($sent);
            echo "SENT1";
            $sent = $infusionsoft->emails->sendEmail($clist,$result['fEmail'],"~Contact.Email~","","","HTML",$result['subject'],$emailBody,"");
            echo "SENT? "; var_dump($sent);

You’ll see that I’m trying the simpler version of the sendEmail API call with just the TemplateID first. That’s not working either.

19

Anybody have any insights on this?

@bradb do you think there’s any chance I could connect with someone on Tuesday morning of next week? I’ll be at Infusionsoft HQ all day before PCON. Thanks.

Hey @Tyler_Garns is the simplified version of the sendEmail call something that you have implemented? I would like to see the simplified function itself. For example (only for demo purposes) I would expect to see a function where the elements from $customArrayOfArgs are split and evaluated into their values below.

function sendEmail($customArrayOfArgs) {
//Do the iterating of $customArrayOfArgs and ensure they end up in the format below

    return $infusionsoft->emails()->sendEmail(array(17,143829);,"Test@test.com","~Contact.Email~", "","","Text","Test Subject","tester tester","This is the body", 4579);
}

If you still need some eyes on this, please feel free to DM me.
