ExactTarget is a cloud service provided by Salesforce
for running email campaign for email marketing. For this we need to create
subscribers.
Here is a code for to create subscribers in ExactTarget
via its web service.
Change necessary values in below code and call the
method. That’s it.
static void AddSubscribers()
{
//Account
authentication information for an ExactTarget user. Access it from web.config
SoapClient client = new SoapClient();
client.ClientCredentials.UserName.UserName = "xyz";
client.ClientCredentials.UserName.Password = "xyzpassword";
//Create
a new subscriber - person email id
Subscriber newSub = new Subscriber();
newSub.EmailAddress = "abc@test.com";
newSub.SubscriberKey = "abc@test.com";
//Create
the subscriber attributes
newSub.Attributes = new ExactTargetClient.Attribute[6];
//Attribute
- First Name
newSub.Attributes[0] = new ExactTargetClient.Attribute();
newSub.Attributes[0].Name = "First Name";
newSub.Attributes[0].Value = "Enter your first Name Here";
//Attribute
- Last Name
newSub.Attributes[1] = new ExactTargetClient.Attribute();
newSub.Attributes[1].Name = "Last Name";
newSub.Attributes[1].Value = "Enter your Last Name Here";
//Attribute
- Zip Code
newSub.Attributes[2] = new ExactTargetClient.Attribute();
newSub.Attributes[2].Name = "Zip Code";
newSub.Attributes[2].Value = "110011";
//Attribute
- State
newSub.Attributes[3] = new ExactTargetClient.Attribute();
newSub.Attributes[3].Name = "State";
newSub.Attributes[3].Value = "Johannesburg";
//Attribute
- City
newSub.Attributes[4] = new ExactTargetClient.Attribute();
newSub.Attributes[4].Name = "City";
newSub.Attributes[4].Value = "Johannesburg";
newSub.Attributes[5] = new ExactTargetClient.Attribute();
newSub.Attributes[5].Name = "Country";
newSub.Attributes[5].Value = "South Africa";
//Specify
the busiess unit ID
newSub.Client = new ClientID();
//Manage via a config
file
newSub.Client.ID = 1234567;
newSub.Client.IDSpecified = true;
//Declare
the list we want to add the subscriber to
//Please
manage these values via a configuration file
SubscriberList mylist = new SubscriberList();
mylist.ID = 1234;
mylist.IDSpecified = true;
//Relate
the List to the Subscriber
newSub.Lists = new SubscriberList[] { mylist };
//Instantiate
the CreateOptions object for the create call of TSD
CreateOptions cOptionsTS = new CreateOptions();
cOptionsTS.RequestType = RequestType.Asynchronous;
cOptionsTS.RequestTypeSpecified = true;
SaveOption saveOption = new SaveOption();
saveOption.SaveAction = SaveAction.UpdateAdd;
saveOption.PropertyName = "*";
cOptionsTS.SaveOptions = new SaveOption[] { saveOption };
try
{
//Create
the request to add the subscriber
string tsRequestID = "";
string tsStatus = "";
CreateResult[] tsResults = client.Create(cOptionsTS, new APIObject[] { newSub
}, out tsRequestID, out tsStatus);
Console.WriteLine("Overall Status ::: " + tsStatus);
Console.WriteLine("Number of Results ::: " + tsStatus.Length);
foreach (CreateResult result
in tsResults)
{
Console.WriteLine("Status Code
and Message ::: " + result.StatusCode + " " + result.StatusMessage);
}
Console.ReadLine();
//Check
for Error
if (tsStatus != "OK") { throw new Exception(); }
}
catch (Exception exCreate)
{
Console.WriteLine(exCreate.Message);
Console.ReadLine();
}
}
