The power of Mad Mimi in your Ruby application. Deliver emails, track statistics, and manage your subscriber base with ease.
gem install madmimi - or if you prefer to live on the edge, just clone this repository and build it from scratch.
Dependencies: active_support (I intend to remove this in the not too distant future, and build my own implementation.)
mimi = MadMimi.new(‘emailaddress’, ‘api_key’)
mimi.lists -> get all of your Mad Mimi lists returned as a hash
mimi.memberships(‘email’) -> returns a hash of the lists that specific email address is subscribed to
mimi.new_list(‘New list name’) -> make a new list
mimi.delete_list(‘New list name’) -> delete the list I just created
mimi.csv_import(“name,email\ndave,dave@example.com\n”) -> import from a csv string
mimi.add_to_list(‘dave@example.com’, ‘Test List’) -> add this email address to a specific list
mimi.remove_from_list(‘dave@example.com’, ‘Test List’) -> remove this email address from a specific list
mimi.suppressed_since(‘unix timestamp’) -> get a TXT of all addresses that were suppressed since this timestamp
mimi.promotions -> returns a hash of your promotions
mimi.mailing_stats(‘promotion_id’, ‘mailing_id’) -> get stats on a specific mailing
options = { ‘promotion_name’ => ‘Test Promotion’, ‘recipients’ => ‘Nicholas Young <nicholas@madmimi.com>’, ‘from’ => ‘MadMimi Ruby <rubygem@madmimi.com>’, ‘subject’ => ‘Test Subject’ }
yaml_body = { ‘greeting’ => ‘Hello’, ‘name’ => ‘Nicholas’ }
mimi.send_mail(options, yaml_body)
options = { ‘promotion_name’ => ‘Test Promotion’, ‘recipients’ => ‘Nicholas Young <nicholas@madmimi.com>’, ‘from’ => ‘MadMimi Ruby <rubygem@madmimi.com>’, ‘subject’ => ‘Test Subject’ }
raw_html = “<html><head><title>My great promotion!</title></head><body>Body stuff[[tracking_beacon]]</body></html>”
mimi.send_html(options, raw_html)
options = { ‘promotion_name’ => ‘Test Promotion’, ‘recipients’ => ‘Nicholas Young <nicholas@madmimi.com>’, ‘from’ => ‘MadMimi Ruby <rubygem@madmimi.com>’, ‘subject’ => ‘Test Subject’ }
plain_text = “Plain text email contents [[unsubscribe]]”
mimi.send_plaintext(options, plain_text)
In most cases, a return value of a single space indicates success.
On success, #send_mail, #send_html, and #send_plaintext return String with a numeric mailing_id. This mailing_id can be used to look up stats with #mailing_stats.
Errors or issues preventing operation completing return a human-readable String.
Therefore, if the return value is not a space, or is not a numeric String value, then there is probably an error or uncompleted operation.
‘raw_html’: Must include at least one of the [[tracking_beacon]] or [[peek_image]] tags.
‘promotion_name’: If a promotion doesn’t exist under the given name, it will be created. If it exists and you specify raw_html, the promotion body will be replaced.
‘list_name’: For all of the #send methods, if ‘list_name’ is provided, the recipients will be those for an already-existing “audience.”
-
Fork the project.
-
Make your feature addition or bug fix.
-
Add tests for it. This is important so I don’t break it in a future version unintentionally.
-
Commit, do not mess with rakefile, version, or history. (if you want to have your own version, that is fine but bump version in a commit by itself I can ignore when I pull)
-
Send me a pull request. Bonus points for topic branches.
