A method to request a list of all mailings sent from Marketing Suite. This is an HTTP GET call to the following address:

https://api.copernica.com/v4/draganddrop/emailings

You can find the call to retrieve all HTML emailings here.

Available parameters

  • type: The type of mailing between "mass" or "individual", defaults to "both".
  • followups: Indicates if we only use follow-up mailings ("yes"), only mailings that were not the result of a follow-up ("no") or all mailings ("both"). Defaults to "both".
  • mindestinations: Only retrieve mailings at least this many destinations.
  • maxdestinations: Only retrieve mailings with at most this many destinations.
  • fromdate: Only retrieve mailings sent after this date (YYYY-MM-DD HH:MM:SS format).
  • todate: Only retrieve mailings sent before this date (YYYY-MM-DD HH:MM:SS format).

This method also supports paging parameters.

Returned fields

The method returns a JSON object containing the following information for each mailing:

  • id: The ID of the mailing.
  • timestamp: Timestamp of the mailing.
  • template: The ID of the template that was used to send the mailing.
  • subject: The subject of the mailing.
  • from_address: An array containing the 'name' and 'email' address of the sender.
  • destinations: Amount of destinations the mailing was sent to.
  • type: Type of mailing (individual or mass).
  • target: Contains the target type and the ID and type of other entities above it (for example the database a collection belongs to).

JSON example

The JSON object will contain a property 'data' with an array containing all the emailings. The JSON for a single emailing looks something like this:

{
   "id":"169",
   "timestamp":"2015-01-13 15:09:49",
   "template":"579",
   "subject":"Test",
   "from_address":{
      "name":"Test",
      "email":"test@copernica.com"
   },
   "destinations":25,
   "type":"mass",
   "target":{
      "type":"database",
      "sources":[
         {
            "id":"7578",
            "type":"database"
         }
      ]
   }
}

PHP Example

The following script demonstrates how to use this method. Because we use the CopernicaRestApi class, you don't have to worry about escaping special characters in the URL; it is done automatically.

// dependencies
require_once('CopernicaRestAPI.php');

// change this into your access token
$api = new CopernicaRestAPI("your-access-token", 4);

// parameters to pass to the call
$parameters = array(
    'limit'             => 10,
    'type'              => 'mass',
    'followups'         => 'no',
    'registerclicks'    => 'yes',
);

// do the call, and print result
print_r($api->get("draganddrop/emailings", $parameters));

The example above requires the CopernicaRestApi class.
