Introduction

Official SDK for MessageX Email API. It's goal is to provide easy integration with MessageX Email Service in PHP and build robust applications and software with those services. We want this SDK to be community driven and led by us. You can get started in minutes by installing SDK through composer or downloading a zip file.

Request Size

When sending attachments there are no explicit file size limitations. Requests bigger then 30MB will be reject with HTTP 417 status code.

Error Handling

All exceptions in SDK extend base MxException for easier handling of all exceptions rising from SDK. For more granular error handling email service has it's own base exception called EmailException.

Transport Errors

For sending requests MessageX PHP SDK is using Guzzle HTTP Client. When API returns with status code other then 2*, Guzzle will throw exception depending on the group of status code (Server side, Client side). Guzzle related exceptions are not handled in SDK.

Prerequisites

• PHP >= 5.6
• API and Secret Key from your MessageX account

Installation

Composer

Add following to the composer.json file

    {
        "require": {
            "messagex/email-php-sdk": "~1.0"
        }
    }

Or from the CLI

composer require messagex/email-php-sdk

Quickstart

Send an Email

This is a minimal code sample needed in order to send a basic email using SDK.

require 'vendor/autoload.php';

use MessageX\Service\Email\ValueObject\Email;
use MessageX\Service\Email\ValueObject\Body\Body;
use MessageX\Service\Email\EmailClient;

$emailClient = new EmailClient([
        'credentials' => ['key' => 'XXXXX', 'secret' => 'XXXXX']
    ]);

$emailClient->sendEmail(
    (new Email('John Doe <johndoe@example.com>', ['Jane Doe <janedoe@example.com>']))
        ->setSubject('Greetings')
        ->addBody(new Body('text/plain', 'Hi Jane))
);

Name of the receiver or sender can be added using notation showed in code sample above. Adding a name is not required, adding just email address is also supported. At the moment only following content types are support for the email body

• text/html
• text/plain

Add CC and BCC

Adding CC and BCC is also simple as

require 'vendor/autoload.php';

use MessageX\Service\Email\ValueObject\Email;
use MessageX\Service\Email\ValueObject\Body\Body;
use MessageX\Service\Email\EmailClient;

$emailClient = new EmailClient([
        'credentials' => ['key' => 'XXXXX', 'secret' => 'XXXXX']
    ]);

$emailClient->sendEmail(
    (new Email('John Doe <johndoe@example.com>', ['Jane Doe <janedoe@example.com>']))
        ->setSubject('Greetings')
        ->addBcc(['John Doe <bcc@example.com>'])
        ->addCc(['John Doe <cc@example.com>'])
        ->addBody(new Body('text/plain', 'Hi Jane'))
);

Same rules applies regarding email address and names as in the first example.

Add Attachment

You can add one or more attachments to the email as following

require 'vendor/autoload.php';

use MessageX\Service\Email\ValueObject\Email;
use MessageX\Service\Email\ValueObject\Body\Body;
use MessageX\Service\Email\ValueObject\Attachment\Attachment;
use MessageX\Service\Email\EmailClient;

$emailClient = new EmailClient([
        'credentials' => ['key' => 'XXXXX', 'secret' => 'XXXXX']
    ]);

$emailClient->sendEmail(
    (new Email('John Doe <johndoe@example.com>', ['Jane Doe <janedoe@example.com>']))
        //... Code removed
        ->addAttachment(Attachment::fromFile('path/to/file.pdf'))
);

Custom Tags

Tags are custom text labels associated with the the email. Maximum number of tags that can be added is 5. Add you custom tags as showed in sample below

require 'vendor/autoload.php';

use MessageX\Service\Email\ValueObject\Email;
use MessageX\Service\Email\ValueObject\Body\Body;
use MessageX\Service\Email\ValueObject\Attachment\Attachment;
use MessageX\Service\Email\EmailClient;

$emailClient = new EmailClient([
        'credentials' => ['key' => 'XXXXX', 'secret' => 'XXXXX']
    ]);

$emailClient->sendEmail(
    (new Email('John Doe <johndoe@example.com>', ['Jane Doe <janedoe@example.com>']))
        //... Code removed
        ->addTag('Tag1')
);

Custom Headers

Also custom headers will be added to the email and sent to the recipients. Maximum number of custom headers that can be added is 5. Add custom headers as shown in sample below

require 'vendor/autoload.php';

use MessageX\Service\Email\ValueObject\Email;
use MessageX\Service\Email\ValueObject\Body\Body;
use MessageX\Service\Email\ValueObject\Attachment\Attachment;
use MessageX\Service\Email\EmailClient;

$emailClient = new EmailClient([
        'credentials' => ['key' => 'XXXXX', 'secret' => 'XXXXX']
    ]);

$emailClient->sendEmail(
    (new Email('John Doe <johndoe@example.com>', ['Jane Doe <janedoe@example.com>']))
        //... Code removed
        ->addHeader('X-Custom-Header', 'Value')
);

Mail Merge

Properties are representing placeholder strings in email body and value for each property is array of replacements for all recipients. Number of replacements for each placeholder must match number of recipients. Order of replacements for each placeholder must match order of recipients. Mail merge can be added as shown in the sample below

require 'vendor/autoload.php';

use MessageX\Service\Email\ValueObject\Email;
use MessageX\Service\Email\ValueObject\Body\Body;
use MessageX\Service\Email\ValueObject\Attachment\Attachment;
use MessageX\Service\Email\EmailClient;

$emailClient = new EmailClient([
        'credentials' => ['key' => 'XXXXX', 'secret' => 'XXXXX']
    ]);

$emailClient->sendEmail(
    (new Email('John Doe <johndoe@example.com>', ['Jane Doe <janedoe@example.com>', 'Alice Doe <alicedoe@example.com>']))
        //... Code removed
        ->addBody(new Body('text/plain', 'Hi {{name}}'))
        ->addSubstitution('name', ['Jane', 'Alice'])
);
