This library simplifies the creation and triggering of ExactTarget "Triggered Send Definitions" via the ExactTarget API.
Get it from Nuget:
PM> Install-Package ExactTarget.TriggerEmailSender
//create configuration
var config = new ExactTargetConfiguration
{
ApiUserName = "API_User",
ApiPassword = "API_Password",
//use your endpoint given to you by ET
EndPoint = "https://webservice.s6.exacttarget.com/Service.asmx",
ClientId = 6269485,//optional business unit id
};//the email to trigger
var triggeredEmail = new ExactTargetTriggeredEmail("external-key-of-trigger",
"recipient@uri.test" );
//specify values for the Data Extension if any (optional)
triggeredEmail.AddReplacementValue("DataExtensionFieldName1", "Value 1");
triggeredEmail.AddReplacementValue("DataExtensionFieldName2", "Value 2");
//trigger the email
var emailTrigger = new EmailTrigger(config);
emailTrigger.Trigger(triggeredEmail);In only 3 lines of code you can create a TriggeredSendDefinition in ExactTarget that you can then use to send an HTML email (with tracking) to a recipient. When triggering an email you only need to supply recipient address, subject, html body and optionally html head content.
//create and start Triggered Send (only required to do this once)
var triggeredEmailCreator = new TriggeredEmailCreator(config);
triggeredEmailCreator.CreateTriggeredSendDefinitionWithPasteHtml(
"new-external-key",
"<html>" +
"<head>" +
"<style>.green{color:green}</style>" +
"</head>" +
"<body>Hello %%FirstName%%, " +
"<p>This is a paste Html email with custom fields.</p>" +
"<p class='green'>Green Content: %%MyOwnValue%% ...</p>" +
"<body>" +
"<html>");
triggeredEmailCreator.StartTriggeredSend("new-external-key");- The above example will create a Triggered Send Definition, Data Extension with "Subject" and replacement values you specified in your layout (%%FirstName%%, %%MyOwnValue%%), Paste HTML Email and a Delivery Profile for the Data Extension without header and footer in ExactTarget.
Now you can trigger an email:
var triggeredEmail = new ExactTargetTriggeredEmail("new-external-key",
"recipient@temp.uri");
triggeredEmail.AddReplacementValue("Subject","Test email");
triggeredEmail.AddReplacementValue("FirstName","John");
triggeredEmail.AddReplacementValue("MyOwnValue","Some test copy here...");
var emailTrigger = new EmailTrigger(config);
emailTrigger.Trigger(triggeredEmail);In only 3 lines of code you can create a TriggeredSendDefinition in ExactTarget that you can then use to send an HTML email (with tracking) containing placeholder values to a recipient. When triggering an email you only need to supply recipient address, subject, and the replacement values you specified in your layout Html.
//create and start Triggered Send (only required to do this once)
var triggeredEmailCreator = new TriggeredEmailCreator(config);
triggeredEmailCreator.Create(
"new-external-key",
"<html><head><style>.green{color:green}</style></head><body>Hello %%FirstName%%, <p class='green'>Green Content: %%MyOwnValue%% ...</p><body><html>");
triggeredEmailCreator.StartTriggeredSend("new-external-key");- The above example will create a Triggered Send Definition, Data Extension with "Subject" and replacement values you specified in your layout (%%FirstName%%, %%MyOwnValue%%), Paste HTML Email Template, an Email from that template and a Delivery Profile for the Data Extension without header and footer in ExactTarget.
Now you can trigger an email:
var triggeredEmail = new ExactTargetTriggeredEmail("new-external-key",
"recipient@temp.uri");
triggeredEmail.AddReplacementValue("Subject","Test email");
triggeredEmail.AddReplacementValue("FirstName","John");
triggeredEmail.AddReplacementValue("MyOwnValue","Some test copy here...");
var emailTrigger = new EmailTrigger(config);
emailTrigger.Trigger(triggeredEmail);
