This is a handy library that wraps the Bronto SOAP API.

Add this line to your application's Gemfile:

gem 'bronto'

And then execute:

$ bundle

Or install it yourself as:

$ gem install bronto

Let's setup some contacts, add them to a list, and then send them a message.

1. Require the library and specify the API Key on the Base class:

   require 'bronto'
   Bronto::Base.api_key = "..."
   

2. Create two contacts:

   contact_1 = Bronto::Contact.new(email: "[email protected]")
   contact_2 = Bronto::Contact.new(email: "[email protected]")
   
   puts contact_1.id
   # => nil
   
   puts contact_2.id
   # => nil
   
   # You can save multiple objects with one API call using the class `save` method.
   Bronto::Contact.save(contact_1, contact_2)
   
   # Both contacts should now have ids.
   puts contact_1.id
   # => "32da24c..."
   
   puts contact_2.id
   # => "98cd453..."
   

3. Create a list and the contacts:

   list = Bronto::List.new(name: "A Test List", label: "This is a test list.")
   list.save
   
   list.add_to_list(contact_1, contact_2)
   

4. Create a new message and add content:

   message = Bronto::Message.new(name: "Test Message")
   message.add_content("html", "HTML Subject", "HTML Content")
   message.add_content("text", "Text Subject", "Text Content")
   message.save
   

5. Create a new delivery with a message and recipients and send it ASAP:

   delivery = Bronto::Delivery.new(start: Time.now, type: "normal", from_name: "Test", from_email: "[email protected]")
   delivery.message_id = message.id
   delivery.add_recipient(list)
   delivery.save
   

1. Fork it
2. Create your feature branch (git checkout -b my-new-feature)
3. Commit your changes (git commit -am 'Added some feature')
4. Push to the branch (git push origin my-new-feature)
5. Create new Pull Request
