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
};
//above code is only for demonstration purposes
//ideally you would want to load your configuration from a configuration file //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");
triggeredEmailCreator.StartTriggeredSend("new-external-key");- The above example will create a Triggered Send Definition, Data Extension with "Subject" and "Body" and "Head", 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("Body",
"<p>Test paragraph</p>" +
"<p class='red'>This is some text in red</p>");
triggeredEmail.AddReplacementValue("Head","<style>.red{color:red}</style>");
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, and html body content.
//create and start Triggered Send (only required to do this once)
var triggeredEmailCreator = new TriggeredEmailCreator(config);
triggeredEmailCreator.CreateTriggeredSendDefinitionWithEmailTemplate(
"new-external-key",
"<html><head><style>.red{color:red}</style></head>",
"</html>");
triggeredEmailCreator.StartTriggeredSend("new-external-key");- The above example will create a Triggered Send Definition, Data Extension with "Subject" and "Body", 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("Body",
"<p>Test paragraph</p><p class='red'>This is some text in red</p>");
var emailTrigger = new EmailTrigger(config);
emailTrigger.Trigger(triggeredEmail);
