Sending an Email

To send an email, submit a POST request to:

https://api.sendpulse.com/smtp/emails

Request parameters:

email A serialized object with email data

Email array parameters:

html* HTML version of an email, encoded in Base64
text* Text version of the email
template* id Template ID that was uploaded in the service. Use this method to get the template ID (use either real_id or id parameter from the reply) 
variables includes variables' names and values in such a format: variables: {"name of the variable in the template": "value of the variable for this email"}
auto_plain_text boolean type parameter, whether or not to automatically generate a text part for messages that are not given text; default: false
subject Email subject
from An array containing the sender’s name and email address
to An array of recipients
attachments An array where the key is the name of the file, and the value is the contents of the file (optional)
attachments_binary An array where the key is the name of the file, and the value is the contents of the file, encoded in Base64 (optional)

*Note: You can use parameter html and text to send the template directly in this request.

or you can use the parameter template and send a static template uploaded to the email service and send only values for these variables (which were added in template)

Example of sending a custom template:

{
  "email": {
    "html": "PHA+RXhhbXBsZSB0ZXh0PC9wPg==",
    "text": "Example text",
    "subject": "Example subject",
    "from": {
      "name": "Example name",
      "email": "sender@example.com"
    },
    "to": [
      {
        "name": "Recipient1 name",
        "email": "recipient1@example.com"
      }
    ]
  }
}

Example of sending a system template with custom variables:

{
  "email": {
    "subject": "Test",
    "template": {
      "id": 123456,
      "variables": {
        "name": "George",
        "code": "123456"
      }
    },
    "from": {
      "name": "Mike",
      "email": "mike.johnson@domain.com"
    },
    "to": [
      {
        "email": "recipient1@example.com",
        "name": "George"
      }
    ]
  }
}

In this example, a «template» parameter is used instead of html and text parameters.

If the request was successful, you will receive a JSON response stating "result = true" and "idletter"

A sample response:

{
    "result": true,
    "id": "pzkic9-0afezp-fc"
}

A WebHook is a mechanism used to receive notifications about certain events within your email campaign. To add a webhook please go to "Account settings" → "API".

Enter the URL where the notifications will be sent and specify the events for them.

LIst of events that can be selected for a webhook about an email sent via the SMTP service:

  • Delivered
  • Not delivered
  • Opened
  • Clicked on a link
  • Marked as spam
  • Unsubscribed

When a webhook is triggered, data is sent to the specified URL

  • Data type: JSON
  • Request type: POST

The data is sent every minute or when the number of a specified event count reaches 100.

The main data format for a request:

[

    "recipient": "john.doe@sendpulse.com",
    "sender": "doe.john@sendpulse.com",
    "subject": "hello world" 
  }
]

In a case when there are several events, they will be grouped in one or into several requests

[
  {
    "event": "event_name",
    "timestamp": 1490954061,
    "message_id": "pzkic9-0afezp-fc",
