README

This plugin integrates the Flexmail REST API into Craft CMS. The first version will focus on adding contacts, and assigning preferences & interests.

Installation

composer require statikbe/craft-flexmail
./craft  plugin/install flexmail

Settings

The plugin has the following settings:

API username (apiUsername)
API token (apiToken)
Default contact source (defaultSource) (read more about Flexmail sources here)

The default contact source can be set in settings, or you can set in template using a hidden source field.

Usage

By default, a contact in Flexmail has the following fields (API docs):

Email (required)
First name
Last name
Language (required)

Basic subscribe form

 <form method="post">
    {{ actionInput('flexmail/contacts/add') }}
    {{ csrfInput() }}
    <div>
        <label for="email">E-mail</label>
        <input type="email" name="email" id="email">
    </div>
    <div>
        <label for="firstName">First name</label>
        <input type="text" name="firstName" id="firstName">
    </div>
    <div>
        <label for="lastName">Last name</label>
        <input type="text" name="lastName" id="lastName">
    </div>
    <input type="submit" value="Subscribe">
</form>

Subscribe form with custom fields

Flexmail custom fields can be added in the fields namespace. For example fields[city], where "city" is the handle of the custom field in Flexmail.

 <form method="post">
    {{ actionInput('flexmail/contacts/add') }}
    {{ csrfInput() }}
    <div>
        <label for="email">E-mail</label>
        <input type="email" name="email" id="email">
    </div>

    <div>
        <label for="custom">Your organisation</label>
        <input type="text" name="fields[organisation]" id="custom">
    </div>
    <input type="submit" value="Subscribe">
</form>

Subscribe form with interests

Flexmail is 2 ways to segment or add metadata to contacts: interests. These can be added by using labels[] and preferencs[] respectivly.

It's important to note that the values for these need to be the ID of that item in Flexmail.

 <form method="post">
        {{ actionInput('flexmail/contacts/add') }}
        {{ csrfInput() }}
        <div>
            <label for="email">E-mail</label>
            <input type="email" name="email" id="email">
        </div>

        // Interests
        <input type="checkbox" name="interests[]" value="interestId">

        <input type="submit" value="Subscribe">
    </form>

Interests can be imported and refresh from the API through a Utility.

Fields

The plugin includes fields for interests that are defined in your Flexmail account.

The idea here is that you can create an interest for contacts that subscribe from a specific page/product/etc.

This field will use the imported interests.

Helpers

Flexmail uses ID's for most things (sources, labels, preferences) but those ID's are not exposed in the webpages.

You can use these console command to list each of these, they will return all items with their ID and label
